Switch to Harley Davidson Heritage Classic

[Gone in 60]

Ride what you love!

I miss the Progressive IMS shows when they passed through our county fairgrounds. Good opportunity to demo ride different brands of bikes. I got cruisers out of my system years ago, ending with a VTX1800, but I'd love to demo the Harleys. It's a very visceral feel, and I get the attraction. Looking at the prices kept my rides to demos only, but if I had unlimited space and resources, I'd have one.

Good luck on your sale of the Honda. How is HD support in Italy?

Thanks a lot! Actually, Harley is very big in Italy and the dealer network is very ramified and with lots of experience too: my local one i guess it’s open since the ‘80s, always been an official HD Dealer since then

Interesting! I'm not well versed on Harley support in other countries. I guess that makes sense, it's quite a popular brand.

... I wonder what kind of social scene. Initiation costs and acts of loyalty?

Over in Europe Harley ownership is more associated with affluent motorcyclists rather than "bikers", It's all very civilised.

Have you looked a Low Rider S or ST? The ST comes with panniers as well and two things both the S and ST have that I would prefer over a Heritage are tubeless cast wheels and twin rotors on the front.

I'll 2nd that, the Low Rider ST looks excellent.

really nice looking bike, but I have something for retro-looks on my motorcycles... this is why I ended up with the CB at first, and exactly why I chose the Heritage Classic.
also, it's way more suited for a pillion, my GF will thank me

My favorite rental bike for multi-day street rides with friends in distant places has been an H-D Street Glide. On our last ride, some years ago, the group came down to SoCal, so I rode my Yamaha FJR 1300. Due to a list of small things going south, I had an unplanned get-off out in Toolieville that involved five days in a hospital. I considered hanging up my jacket, but since it was my own fault, I decided that it could be corrected, and kept riding. Lesson learned, and so far, so good.

i got them both: a CB and a Harley, and I like them both in different ways. Nothing wrong with a Harley, if it’s within your budget.

I have the CB, and a '09 Yamaha V-Star 1300, which I am liking a lot!
