Big Dog Motorcycles?
I have a street glide and my buddy let me borrow his big dog k9 and i fell in love with it? Everywhere i rode it there was a crowd of people swarming it. What do you guys think of them as a second bike to scoot around town on? What kind of prices are big dog k9's going for nowadays?

I love Big dog bikes. I was lucky to get to visit the plant in Wichita before they closed. A sad day when that happened.
Great attention to detail on the bikes. I just wish HD could come up with something that nicely finished.

I like big dog bikes, they're not your cookie cutter bike, everyone is an original.
I have a 2000 American Ironhorse (pictured below) I get tons of compliments. One day I would like to buy a Harley Streetglide or Roadking, but I will keep my Ironhorse.

Spent a lot of time considering a BD but decided to go with Harley. BDs are factory choppers and as such have a niche market. They are longer and lower than most Harleys and had bigger motors with six speed trannys. They are what they are but tend to stay that way rather than a good platform for customization. To each their own...

They have had their issues but plenty of help can be found at http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/index.php if you buy one stay away from EFI get one with a carb IMO..
A like mine because its big (like me) and different...Last night I made a poser run down Main I was the only Big Dog and the only chopper, lost count of the number of HD's riding around.
and yeah they do draw a **** ton of attention..
must really suck to be the guy who bought new and is trying to sell.

I lived in Wichita for a number of years last decade, and saw a lot of Big Dogs around. Beautiful bikes, and never saw two that looked the same.
