Is it possible to buy one in Europe?
Any European rider out there who can inform me about the possibility of such a purchase or the proceedure?!
I have a Dyna Superglide Custom and i must say i regret finding out about Big Dog motorcycles only a few weeks ago...!
My ride DEFINATELLY would be something else!

Same thing happened to me Aris, I had a HD FXST less than a year before i decided that any HD was just not for me. Love em, but not like the dogs! Anyway good luck with your search. And of course give us an intro and tell us about yourself.

if you have the money, why not buing one from US? right now EU laws can't stop you buying yourself and register one, in Romania I saw a few Ironhorse(s), fully registered,

the transport from US (better be from the coast line) to Anvers for example must be up to USD 1000 for a full container

I recommend you to do the import personally (for a lot of reasons ...) in Germany or Holland because the guys there apply Custom tax (10% I knew) and VAT (or find the EU country with the smallest one) to the invoice amount (in Romania, the m....ckers are working with their self made, as for the new, price list, no matter the real invoice)

there are a lot of great deals for s/h Big Dogs with low miles, just don't look at the year, the mileage and the bike's shape are the most important IMHO

look at this beauty

YouTube - 2007 Big Dog K-9

it was sold in the spring on eBay for abt. 17 k, with 5-6000 miles on tacho if I remember well

you'll get an awesome and kind of a unique bike in EU for the price of a new ordinary Harley here, except the Sportsters ...


:cheers:

Very good advice from Thunderhead. There is also a few members on here that have bought such in US and had them shipped over, so hopefully they will chime in also.

Oh when you get a chance, please do a good intro and psot and pictures you may.

Another tidbit is that Big Dog is considering importing to Europe and the MiddleEast. Not sure of what the status is now, but you may want to touch base with the Facotory and see if something is coming down the line soon.

Welcome and good luck.

I brought one to England a couple of years ago. I found the bike on ebay, bought and paid for it and arranged my own shipping. I paid to pay 6% import duty on theprice including the shipping and then 17.5% VAT on top of that. I then had to get it through an SVA test to get certified for use in the UK. Not sure what you will have to do but probably something similar. Do your research and make sure you know what you are getting into before you buy.
