Independence Motorcycles reviews

I have only had this bike for a few months and have nothing but great things to say about it. Handles great and looks awesome. Certainly gets a lot of attention on the road. Have had no mechanical problems, but one of the reasons I went with Big Dog is their reputation and the years of experience in the business. They are not a new start up company that may not be there through your warranty. Show less

I've had several big twins and this BULLDOG is by far thee BEST ride. The right side trans makes for a well balanced machine. The bike handles fantastic. Need a break from the machine about every 2 hours on long rides but I'm getting old. Had I known about this bike before, I would've purchased long ago. Thanks to the guys at the dealership. Half a mile down & I was in heaven... had to have it. If you're looking for an awesome ride with great balance & literally no requirements for updgrade...the BULL DOG is the way to go. I sat on the new ones and they're nice but I'm sticking with my '03. She's a beaut. Show less

Previously owned an 06 Mastiff and it was a nice bike, nine mo. out of year. The other 4 mo. out of year it was in the hospital. The sad part, it was good riding weather when it was broke. Severe vibration, 4 starters, 2 trans., plus many other reasons to be at the shop. When on the road, you couldn't beat it. It also looked very nice. Traded for an 07 Mastiff, and so far with only 900 miles, she's a good dog. Want to install pipes, but I am open for suggestions. Appreciate any and all feedback and input. Show less

This is my second K9, so I guess it stands to reason that I more than like this bike. The looks, handling and performace are great. Crusing at speeds of 70 and 75 are not a problem for this machine. Very stable and light. Corners and turns are very easy even with a passenger. Show less

Great bike! I've owned several street bikes including Ducati's, Yamahas, Hondas, Suzuki's etc. etc. This is my first cruiser type motorcycle and I couldn't be happier. The performance is phenomenal and everywhere I go I'm asked if I had it hand built! Show less

Love my bike so far. Have had a few minor problems which Big Dog took care of with no questions asked. They really stand behind their warranty but having a good dealer really helps because they are the first line of defense if anything goes wrong. Big Dog will step in if you have given your dealer a fair shot at repairing your bike but they have failed. Show less

Super Bike! Great looks, well built, and handles very well for a big rear tire cruiser. Big Dog has had several recalls and has taken care of every one at no cost. Great warranty and notification if there is a problem. I have built several choppers and spent $$$$$$$ on HD and they ain't Big Dog. Show less

I have had no problems with my bike, plenty of warranty work, but BD stands behind it and my dealer is great to work with. I have 2 bikes so I don't live on this one, but it's great for weekends and having FUN! Remember, it's a CHOPPER, not a cruiser. I would definitely buy another BIG DOG! Show less

I own a 2005 Ridgeback. I love the way it handles. I have received quite a few compliments on the looks. It's a beautiful machine. I wouldn't own anything else! Show less

I purchased a 2005 Independance Chopper at a local dealer and I trusted the sales man about this machine. So far, I've had very minor problems with this soft tail. I would have to say it's an all around great bike. Of course, I'm concerned about where to get replacement parts. Sometimes, I guess, it takes time to work out problems. It's just like any toy, you can break things. I guess I wished they could of rolled with the punches and succeeded in the industry. Keep trying Independence! Show less
