06 mastiff or 2005 Bulldog?

[mirage814]

Guys your information for a soon to be owner has been awesome. Thanks for all your help. I was pretty set on a 2006 Mastiff here local but have now also found a 2005 Bulldog, pretty close. Both bike look so similar, but have not ridden the bulldog thanks to all the snow. I would like to have your honest opinion, that if you could own one, which one would it be and why?

Bike specs

Maybe this will give you some help in deciding. It's the specs on both scoots, sorry about the double print on the Bulldog, thats the way the manual is :

2005 Bulldog

2006 Mastiff

I have had a Mastiff and one of my friends has a Bulldog, not any difference in riding as far as i could tell, both are great looking bikes, you will be happy with either one.

2005 EPA restrictions to be considered... restriction plates in the Intake, smaller Carb (E instead of G)... I think there are many differences... Search the Forum for more info and also I guess someone with more acknowledge than me in those aspects will shime in.

Buy them both, can never have enough motorcycles. Best of luck with whatever you decide.
