    I bought my Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog to kerb my enthusiasm for balls out racing and hopefully to live a bit longer. I have done over 10,000 miles commuting and touring and it has been utterly reliable, totally predictable and I have never felt unsafe on it. If you buy one you should remove the restrictor in the carb and fit stronger springs in the front forks. I ride mine quickly and can generally keep up with the pack on the twisties but I am left for dead on the straights. It could easily pull an ...

    Bought my Bulldog 2 weeks ago after an 11 year break from bikes. I`m so impressed with my ride, it`s great in town as you`re sat upright enough to see over cars and enough power for me at the moment. Handling is spot on so ignore the reports of header pipes touching down in the bends, (at the end of the day,it`s not a R1 so don`t try and ride it like one!!) . I`ve got some aftermarket pipes on order, one of the first things I did, and I`m looking at different jets to sort out some fueling proble ...

    The Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog is a brilliant bike (mine is a 2001 reg) good fun,lovely to ride,not many about..Good looking,good handling. Plenty of torque,nice burble from exhaust,low maintenance,long time between re-fuelling,comfortable. Only bad point is could do with another gear.

    I bought the Yamaha Bulldog on an 04 plate when it was 1 year old.It has performed faultlessly from then till now and sailed through one MOT already without a hitch.There isn't a road you can't enjoy with this bike as the handling, brakes and low rpm power mean you can enjoy the ride without working too hard. The shaft drive delivers smooth power and maintains the nice style lines of the bike.Have done over 20,000 miles on my Bulldog and it just keeps on going.If you own a crotch rocket, give on ...

    Engine on the Yamaha Bulldog is powerfull enough smooth and lots of torque.
    Brakes have lots of stopping power.
    Went for a short ride one sunny sunday when i got back i had done 286 miles, I did not have any sore bits and i could have gone around again. the bike is reliable and is a pleasure to ride. The exhaust note is deep and I have noticed that when there are dog around they start barking back at the Bulldog.
    Its low tech and reliable, looks good, sounds good, and will still be going in year ...

    An excellent all-rounder. Just bought my 2nd one. Went to Andorra last month, didn't miss a beat. Gone from an 05 BT to a 07 BT with only 1800 miles on clock. Expecting more fun. Shame they've stopped making them. Also had BMW1000lt X2 Both buzzzzed at low revs. Also had Moto Guzzi 1000 Cali with faults before 1000miles.
    Yam BT 1100 no probs (13000m).

    I bought a used one on an 02 plate and it was great value - from new I may not have thought of it, but am very happy that I chose this over a Fazer/Bandit/Hornet.

    I have owned almost 20 bikes. HD,Triumphs (both Merriden and Hinkley) but the Bulldog is(along with the 1986 HD fxrs low rider sport edition)is one of the nicest bikes I have ridden. Unless you are a suicide jockey,who just cant seem to get enough HP, the bulldog is the perfect motorcycle for you. It stands out, at least here in Copenhagen. Because of the lukewarm reception it got from the press, you can have a bike like no one else. I feel sad for those poor suckers who choose to buy their bike ...

    I traded in a Ducati ST4 to get my Yamaha Bulldog and I've never regretted it. The Yamaha has comfort and poise a plenty, while having enough poke to make life interesting.
    My best trip so far was going to a school reunion in the Scottish Highlands, via the scenic route - up through Glen Shea and over the twisty mountain roads, to emerge elated and in one piece at Granton-on-Spey. The same route, done on the Ducati the previous year was an utter nightmare.
    I've had it for 5 years now and my Bull ...

    Moved onto a Yamaha BT1100 Bulldog from a Suzuki GSX600F and haven't regretted it! Rode from where I bought it 400 miles home and felt as if I could turn round and do the journey again, no sore wrists, back etc. Shaft drive very smooth and low maintenance. Low revving bike so no need to thrash. Bike press don't seem to like for some reason but I would never go back to a sports/sports tourer bike after riding this.
