Big Dog eh? Given my choice, I'd take a crotch rocket over a Big Dog any day. I have a few friends who have owned them, and I've ridden a few myself. From what I've seen, they're the most overpriced and unreliable bike on the market.
I ride Harleys for several reasons. One, because I can
. Second, they tend to hold their value better than the imports. I guess another reason I ride one is most of my friends ride them, and many of the events we attend are Harley only.
You need to decide the type of riding you want to do. The rocket is fine around town, that's about it. Cruisers are my choice. Good in town, and I like to take 3000 mile escapes now and then.
However, don't think for a second you need to get a Harley to get a nice cruiser. The imports are as good or better, and far less money. If you want a cruiser, there's plenty of alternatives to the Harley, for about 1/2 the price.
Have you seen what I do for a living, im going down early anyways.
I still would have a cherokee for the trail so it wouldn't kill that hobby.
Im not going to get enough out of the cherokee i would sell to by a Harley or a Big Dog so thats why I was thinking a Rocket.
If someone tries to convince me to by a Buelle Im going to puke.
