It appears there has been some delay in release of the "civilian" Bulldog version, but if you ask real nice and have cash in hand, they can be purchased
Far as I am concerned it is the perfect DR bike, not a highway cruiser but it will go 70mph all day at 100 mpg
The suspension was designed for military use, as is the whole bike, so not even the super smooth roads of he DR will faze it
It only weighs around 350 lbs and 35 pounds of torque will haul you almost vertical, one heck of an off road machine
It is not the highway cruiser that Cobra Boy uses on his tours, but head of the paved road and I'll bet CB won't argue about trying to keep up. Should you run low on fule, find teh nearest tractor, loader or even distillery and the engine will be happy to accomodate

Ugly machine but 100mpg. I guess we can live with it.
