About The 2009 Wolf™

Wolf’s striking lines produce a look that is both powerful and radically elegant. In one continuous sweep, the distinctive 4½-gallon tank, seat pan, and rear steel fender are integrated, flowing from one component to the other, giving the 9½-foot long bike its unmistakable stance.

Its front centers around the chrome, sleeved 41mm front forks stretched out three inches and cradling a chrome 23” wheel. A new, exclusive headlight lights up the style even more. The rear is marked with a new radical swing arm giving the bike a more active suspension and the operator a smoother, more comfortable ride. Its drive side brake allows for an uncluttered view of the stunning 20” chrome rear wheel.

Several design details are equally striking, namely the single down tube and several chrome components: brake calipers, rotors, forward controls, handlebar controls, and struts as well as a digital/analog speedometer with a unique “floating” mount has amazing day and night visibility.

Matching its design is ample power born from an all-new S&S X-Wedge 121 cubic inch engine and the award-winning 6-speed BDM Balance Drive. A Big Dog Motorcycles exclusive engine configuration, the 121 size is equivalent of nearly 2,000cc. The 56-degree, electronically fuel injected tri-cam engine has a bore and stroke of 4¼” x 4¼”, a 21% reduction in vibration, 30% fewer parts, and 22% more fin area making it a smoother, quieter, and more durable v-twin design.

Big Dog Motorcycle translates the full-polished engine’s power into motion in typical BDM style and design: the 6-speed BDM Balance Drive. The proprietary system gets the Wolf up to speed quickly – taking it from a standstill to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. But even with these performance statistics, the engine boasts a very modest thirst, needing only a gallon of gas for every 42 miles the rider travels.

Other standard engine and performance components include 2:1 double-barrel exhaust; exclusive coil cover design; and PM 4-piston brakes (front and rear) for unrivaled braking control.

Riders can make their Wolf more individual with a choice of nearly twenty base colors, a comprehensive choice of graphics, and an extensive line of aftermarket accessories. These include passenger needs; made-to-order custom seats; oil coolers; decorative accessories; storage options; and more. Big Dog Motorcycles also supports the riding lifestyle with a selection of clothing, riding gear, and collectibles.
