Don't let the "Ridgid" change your mind. I ride the hell out of mine (in fact, I just purchased another ridgid), and I am an old fart. Shop around, it's a buyers market. Best of luck!

20K for a brand new rigid as the one from Las Lunas is not too bad, I bought my Wolf in Las Vegas but I used those guys for warranty reason and they sucks as Cruz Dog said it took forever. I think they didn't care for big dogs much anymore, anyway buying from a dealer a brand new or used bike you should not have any concerns even with Las Lunas Motorsport, the only think is that buying from dealers bikes are way more expensive but as I said 20K is not too bad.

Everyone that I've ever heard talk about Fury, they rave about them. I personally like having a suspension so my choice would be the K-9.
With that said, no matter the mods, $24k is too much bike. I may go $1k over blue book because of the mods, if receipts can be provided, but I just checked and $16.5K is blue book.

So, the poll is between 3 different used 2008 Ridgebacks and 1 (from anywhere) used 2007 K-9.
Hmmm, I have to go get on my 2008 Ridgeback and go to work
I'll have to study this carefully and vote later. I would hate to make a bad choice!:roll::roll::roll::roll:
330mm back tire it is (at least for me).

Pick up a super sweet 2006 or newer K-9 for around 13K AND a super sweet Ridgeback for around the same price and live the dream. In this economy it is a buyers market, use it to your advantage and do not settle. Winters are long in NT and you will not be riding anytime soon. Take your time and the right deal or "deals" will present themselves soon enough..
If it has to just be one bike, you need to decide if it will be a bar hopper or a distance bike. Do you want to do a couple 800 mile days on a ridgid, or just ride around down on a soft tail? You got to figure out what type of rider you are, we cannot do that for you.
Were it me, I want one of each and the Wolf is a sweet ride!
Fury is good ppl.:2thumbs:

The price Cycle City was asking. They have 3 new 2009 Wolfs on the floor in the store. Asking 33,995 for each, but would do 33K for me. Still too much to handle for me at this time. Which is why I went to looking for a Ridgeback instead.

And the insurance company would only give me 19,500 for my 2007 K9 the caught fire.

I like to ride distance, before my 2007 K9 burnt up it had about 18,000 miles on it. And the riding was broken up between the K9, a Honda Goldwing, and a Dodge Challenger.:lol:Pick up a super sweet 2006 or newer K-9 for around 13K AND a super sweet Ridgeback for around the same price and live the dream.

Also, you might want to check out Tampa Big Dog. They have a couple of 2011 K-9 250 for $21,988 250 rear tire, but, its a brand new bike. Talk to Tank, I am sure he can arrange shipping, or get out of the cold, and enjoy a Florida vacation.

Oh, Justin, I forgot you were on here and could see this. That's not a true statement My fear of this bike is with all the engine work, how was it run, and how long will it continue to run?

I would totally agree with your concern about reliablity if the motor was taken to the crazy level that many of us have dreamed of. Nitrous, motor swap, pro-charger etc... The bike runs on pump gas, and was built by our tech who has done almost that exact setup in multiple bikes over the past couple years. Building the motor to be reliable, yet crazy fun to ride isn't rocket science... Just expensive to buildOh, Justin, I forgot you were on here and could see this. That's not a true statement
I personally rode it for a few hundred miles late this year, I have zero concerns with the build. That's huge, I have to put my name on this thing. I hope we can put something together brother.

And it appears that the forum agrees the K9 as the way to go, but just not the price.
