Awesome bike!! I can't wait to see some more pics.BDM may be gone but that doesn't mean that you can't get a similar bike. The guys at Kansas Motor Works that left BDM are continuing the bikes but these don't have the issues that BDM had. No EHC...... Oh, and I have always loved that exhaust pipe like I had on my 03 Mastiff. Not many like the 2 into 1's but I do. KMW Regulator
Check them out, they look kool. My favorite bike has always been the Chopper and they have one that looks just like it and I want one. Its called the Regulator.
Matt was a wonderful rep for Big Dog and a great guy! I wish him lots of luck. Good talking to him last month at the Park City Chill.

The 107" and 111" motors are very reliable and put out nice power. I would say probably the best S&S has produced... Great choice using the 111" in my opinion :2thumbs:

Well whoever moved this to ally Thank You. I thought we had new rules when that showed up in the general post as I was showing my kids the new bikes that Matt was building . :angry::
Raywood, any way you could change that to a PG pic so that this thread can be moved back to the General section where it deserves? I think KMW would benefit much more that way. Thank you!

Yes, I knew you were kidding, and that it was a typo on the ad, but being the butthead that I am, I thought it would be fun to see what the typo actually worked out to be. I never thought it would be that small.

Insert title here...
Matt... On your website it says you've been in business for almost 3 years but you haven't marketed the bike in the US yet? Just curious why not?
Also, where are the bikes being built? In Kansas or Belgium?
And lastly, do you have a showroom somewhere that one could check out the scoots?
Thanks!

Hi Dennis,
The bikes are being built here in Wichita, Kansas. We do have a showroom and manufacturing facility open to view the bikes.
The answer to your previous question regarding marketing in the US is much more complex and long-winded. I would be happy to discuss it over the phone with you. Here is the short version:
1.) We want to make sure our foundation in Europe is solid before we move on to other markets. Basically making sure we don't take on more than we can handle. Slow steady growth over greed philosophy.
2.) The price disparity between new and used choppers in Europe is not as extreme as found in the USA. Europe was not flooded with "custom" bikes like the US and, therefore, the used market retains a much stronger value.
3.) The certification process in Europe is very extensive and takes a long time. We needed to get the ball rolling over there.
4.) The product liability laws in the US make it very difficult to sell a product like ours in the States. The insurance to sell here in the States is exactly 12 times what I pay in Europe. Europeans shake their head at us for everybody suing each other all the time. The EU government knows who pays their bills so they protect businesses from unjust lawsuits.
5.) Retail and wholesale financing is easier and less risky in Europe.
