Love
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 14, 2016For a chopper and a rigid, it's not a bad ride. I bored mine out to 123 cu.in. More than enough power for my 1 way trip of 44 mile on I35 in Texas when I ride to work, weather pending, but often as I can.

Love it
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 08, 2015I bought my Big Dog Ridgeback from someone that didn't ride it much and also didn't put much more into it. Since my ownership, I put new tires on, did the recommended switch of rocker boxes and rolling rockers, switched out grips/pegs/mirrors, serviced, and adjusted the carb. I have had NO ISSUES ... with the electrical, no issues with the bike at all. It runs smooth with power and I turn a lot of heads. The ONLY issue is riding for a couple hours straight on a hard tail and remembering my mileage since there is no gas gauge. It is very hard to find stock parts and if you do, you are going to pay for them.

Great Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Jun 25, 2010I purchased a used 06' Ridgeback and have had very little problems. Most of them I was able to fix myself. If you are looking to have a bike that stands out and not look like everyone else this is the one or any of the other Big Dogs. Yes these bike need loving care and maintance but the ride is ... worth it.

hate it
By (I am an Owner) on Aug 14, 2009WE BOUGHT THIS BIKE 3 YEARS AGO AND SINCE OUR FIRST SUMMER WITH IT WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMITION. TONIGHT WHILE ON A RIDE THE SPEEDOMETER FELL OFF. JUST FELL OFF. IT IS THE WORST BIKE WE HAVE EVER OWNED AND WE HAVE OWNED A FEW. NEVER AGAIN ... WILL WE EVEN CONSIDER A BIG DOG MOTORCYCLE

06 ridgeback
By (I am an Owner) on Mar 30, 2009For a ridgid the ride good. The handling is good. The bike is perfectly balanced. The 117 cubic inch motor has more than enough power.
