Big Dog Dog Ridgeback

The 2009 Big Dog Ridgeback delivers a distinct chopper experience with its powerful 1917.4cc engine and low-slung profile. This engine provides ample torque, creating a visceral and engaging ride. Its 6-speed gearbox offers reasonable control over the engine's output. Weighing in at 308.4 kg, it's a substantial machine that requires confident handling, especially at lower speeds. The very low 616 mm seat height aids in accessibility for a wide range of riders. Ergonomics on the Ridgeback are classic chopper, featuring a stretched-out riding position with forward controls and a low seat. While the 41mm telescopic front suspension offers some bump absorption, the priority is clearly on achieving a specific aesthetic and riding feel. The single disc front brake with a 4-piston caliper provides adequate stopping power for its intended cruising usage. This motorcycle is aimed at riders who prioritize the look and feel of a traditional chopper. It's not designed for performance riding or long-distance touring. Instead, it's ideal for those who want to make a statement and enjoy the unique experience of riding a powerful, eye-catching machine. The 16.65 litre fuel tank provides a reasonable range.
