Love my K9, wouldn't trade it for the world and it does take a different skill set to ride them, shift weight while cornering and time to slow down. I equate riding the K9 to driving a 18 wheeler, wide turns, heavier and good for long straight roads haha, great vid!

That is a badass looking (and sounding) bike! Love the paint job but not sure about that green ostrich seat. I also noticed the seat height was 24".....love that!! I was thinking it was something I would be able to ride, but looks like the maneuverability is something to be reckoned with. Also, if you will contact me on IG I would love to mail you out some stickers.

Seat height is low but the handlebars are WAAAY high. This bike is so big in both height and length! =) Riding a big chopper is hard, but every bike is something you can get used to. But... The feeling of a Honda Shadow 750! Hard to beat, imma right ;) Thank you for wanting to send me some stickers, really sweet of you. But the postage will cost you like 3-5 dollars and then there's the possibility that I would have to pay 9 dollars for the custom/toll service etc. And I'm not much of a stickers guy anyways, but the gesture and thought of you wanting to send them is very nice and I was super glad to read the comment. 💙You're the first one to wanting to send me stickers so I'll always remember that. =) Take care and thanks for watching!

wow you really had some trouble cornering it! Sure with practice it would be no problem...Did you target fixate on the car that you rode closer and closer to!? Nice video, great work my mentor :-D
@Darkvisor 5 жыл бұрын
Thing about this types of bikes is that you can't really lean too much with them. The handlebar is superhigh and its so long so high speed and a corner like that is very hard. So I had to lower the speed and really take out the turn. Target fixate wasn't really my focus, not tipping it over was all I could think about hehe. Try a huge chopper one day and you'll see how hard it is. Especially for smaller dudes like myself at 5'7'' I don't know what to say to the title "mentor" you probably have more years on the roads on 2 wheels then I do heheh. Thanks for watching Mr cattle!

@@Darkvisor "mentor" for making videos and sound and editing... I mean. And no cow bell also ;-) Yes, I know these bikes are a totally different ride! At the corner with car, It just seemed you focused on the car(and ride closer) = target fixation. Rather than focus on the farthest point in the curve to "ride where you look" hard to say from video, that's why I was just asking. BTW, got that editor you recommended and my first 4k video ever comming soon! (if everything works out;-) Greetz from da land of da swiss

@@cattleNhay I know what you meant but no. I was only close to the car because I had to use the full lane for that turn. The filmora I had couldn't do 4K videos. Are you sure that the one you got can? Also can your computer even be able to handle 4K? You'll need a powerful computer for doing 4K. Also you need a SD-card that can record 4K. The writing speed has to be high enough. I use SanDisk MicroSDXC Extreme Pro 128GB UHS-II U3 275 MB/s.

So I could fix the scooter but apparently the pc hard drive are broken :-( I got a new really fast labtop and it handles the large files wonderfully! Sir, a question: I tried uploading a vid to KZfaq using filmora export to KZfaq feature. When the vid was on KZfaq, the quality was only 360! Any idea why? Did you also use that export feature or did you save to pc, and then upload? Or you think this action is the result of filmora not able to edit 4k? Thanks for your time!

Man, that chopper really is something. I used to have a Harley. It was a 2012 FXDB... Make no mistake, it was a pile of utter shit. Always breaking down, rarely starting, handled like crap and performed like a Prius. But this video made me miss it. EDIT: Obviously, the bike you're riding here is in a way, way different league. The Harley is just my closest comparison. :)

My dream of consumption, but it's a shame big dog doesn't market this bike in my country, as close as I can get to one of these is to buy a BREAKout HD, install a 300mm tire, lift a little ahead and increase the rake angle , to try to transform on a Big Dog K9, well that Harley could market Chopper bikes.

They are hard to ride and expensive and I've heard so many comments from others who have bought them that they regretted it.

This one was the hardest bike I've ever ridden due to the length... That corner is very narrow and I wasn't used to riding chopper. (I only rode this bike once and had never before). Don't let this video scare you. However, Big Dogs are a special kind of motorcycles. They are expensive like hell and usually harder than most bikes to ride overall. And from reading comments from people who has bought Big Dogs (and regretted it) I would tell you to try some out before making up your mind. They look good but the feeling isn't top of the line. I have more videos with big dogs on my channel. Check them out and read the comments of those videos. Maybe you will get some good intel from owners/past owners. Thanks for watching!

LOL For me, the look of the K-9 is stunning, and the price ( for a used one ) is absolutely justified , the only complaint I've heard of, is the electric(ECU), other than that, it's a great bike ... it just scares me to see how it rides!
