Big Dog is Back!
Indian Motorcycle Sturgis is very excited to add Big Dog Motorcycles to our selection!
Big Dog Motorcycles, an American motorcycle manufacturing company that specializes in high-performance, on-road cruisers, are available for purchase in the Black Hills of South Dakota thanks to Indian Motorcycle Sturgis.
The Big Dog Story○ Founded in 1994, Big Dog Motorcycles has grown to become the largest production-custom motorcycle manufacturer in the world, delivering over 30,000 motorcycles across the globe. The company’s production grew from building a single motorcycle its first year to peaking at production rates and exceeding 25 motorcycles per day in 2007.○ The company began slowing production at the onslaught of the “Great Recession” in early 2008 and eventually halted production for three model years (2012-2014) as the United States recovered from the aftermath of the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression. ○ New production motorcycles might have been out of the public’s view, but they were far from out-of-mind: ○ “We weathered the storm behind closed doors, refining our motorcycles and business strategy. We were testing new concepts and designs that would have been otherwise impossible if motorcycle production would have continued in the status quo. We had a chance to get back to our roots of hand-craftmanship, high-performance, and production-grade reliability,” said Matt Moore, President of Big Dog Motorcycles. ○ The 2017 model lineup was the pinnacle of 23 years of experience in the motorcycle manufacturing business. Among the many updates to the lineup, the most notable include updated and completely re-designed electronic systems, a bulletproof transmission, and employing the largest production motor ever to be placed within the confines of a Big Dog frame - the S&S 124. |
Who is Big Dog?○ Big Dog Motorcycles is more than a brand; it is an army of enthusiasts with a passion for life and the vehicles they choose to navigate it. They are always in pursuit of their next adventure, and they don’t believe in sitting still and observing life from a nice, quiet little box. They experience the road with all five senses. They may not know what’s over the next hill, but they’re ready to find out, and they know it will be one hell of a ride. When they ride, they never stop moving. It’s in their blood. Their bikes are more than a comfortable cruise that delivers them to their next experience - the ride is the experience.○ Big Dog is back and badder than ever. They’ve been in the garage, refining the best-selling chopper in the world, the K-9, and now Indian Motorcycle Sturgis is bringing it to you, crafted with aggressive precision for the most demanding riders. |
