    La calidad es impresionante. Mi papá tiene 2 harleys y sus ambos funcionamiento impresionante. Y también depende de qué modelo usted consigue. Mis mamáes son un sportster. Y es perfecto. Pero haga un cierto paseo de la investigación y de la prueba algunos.

    Harley was very poor quality for a number of years when the company was owned by AMF. The employees bought the company in the late 80s and quality has been very good ever since.

    The new Harleys are great! Dependable and really hold their resale value.

    A friend of mine has a 2007 Road Glide and it runs very well.

    I used to own a ’78 Superglide I bought new and I never had any problems with it at all. Sold it back in 1982 and I wish I still had it.

    By the way, mine was made during the AMF years and didn’t leak a drop of oil.

    TOP QUALITY !!! Except for the AMF years. All the crap you hear about frequent repair and leaking oil is true of the AMF years, but not now.

    Sure, you will pay top dollar…..and part of that is for the name Harley Davidson, but you will not be disappointed.

    Other bikes are good, but if you already have ur heart set on a Harley, the others just wont do.

    The batteries even averaged about yrs all replaced was tires and never had to replace anything that includes brakes light bulbs etc the last bikes had over 60k mile and never had each had to replace anything that includes brakes light bulbs etc the.
    The batteries even averaged about yrs all replaced was tires and have no problems what so ever with little maintenance they should last forever the batteries even averaged about yrs.

    ?Sheeesh el su realmente pedir ?l! ?Apenas la espera hasta los sospechosos generalmente considera esto! Los m?s nuevos harleys est?n muy bien. Era el 70' s unos que dieron a Harley tal mala fama.
    ?Guau no una respuesta del basher todav?a, c?mo es eso posible?
    They' el ll est? a lo largo pronto de i' m sure. Venido en Joe i haven' t ten?a una buena risa todo el dia.

    Amo mi Harley. Tengo 2008 de lujo e it' ?s impresionante! Comenc? en un Sportster 2005 883L y negoci? hasta un Sportster 2007 1200L despu?s de a?os de 1 1/2. Entonces despu?s de cerca de 1 a?o negoci? para el de lujo. Nada mal con el Sportsters, pero yo quiso algo un poco m?s grande y con un tanque m?s grande. (El marido conseguido cans? de m? que ten?a que parar para llenarse despu?s de solamente 90 millas cuando ?l todav?a casi ten?a un tanque del 1/2 de gas). I' VE ahora ten?a esta bici por cerca de 9 meses del 1/2 y estoy guardando ?ste. ?Tengo que decir que estoy teniendo una r?faga! Esta bici es grande y manijas como un sue?o. Va definitivamente el intento uno hacia fuera. Muchas las representaciones tienen alquileres que usted pueda sacar para un 1/2 d?a o m?s. Divi?rtase y monte la caja fuerte. Oh, de nuevo a su pregunta: haven' t necesit? cualquier reparaci?n con todo con cualquiera de mi Harleys ……….. No incluso trabajo de la garant?a.

    Harleys son tan buenos como los que recibe.

  • I think they are probably built pretty well.

    But part of quality are a bikes qualities or performance. As far as performance the harley is 70 years behind the times. Designed at the same time radios had vacuum tubes and there was no such thing as TV or jet engines. A modern bikes is a snake in the turns and has a rocket engine, a Harley is a heavy, slow two wheeled tractor. It is the worst performing bike in the worst class of bikes.

    A Harley’s qualities are pathetic.

    Jim W….this is embarrassing….The Harley friendly page only gives that thing 63 horsepower. at $20K, whew. You wouldn’t be competition for an 1980 CB 1000. But I’m sure your bike makes tons of noise at the stoplight and you look really cool in you assless chaps and doo rag.

    You are right, you can’t really compare Harley to any other bike. Nothing else has such low horsepower, is so overweight and yet costs so much money. I think no other bike is using that gay belt drive any more either.

    Calidad, arriba de la línea de ingeniería y maestría para no mencionar buscando HOT! Mi BF arroz de propiedad de los quemadores, a continuación, BMW's, a continuación, ha ascendido a'08 Street Glide y no dice nada se compara. Es una inversión!

  • Jim W says:

    Ninebadthings Hey, voy a poner mi 88Cubic Inch 2001 Harley Night Train contra cualquier cosa que usted propio cualquier día de la semana (y voy a robar a su novia con él también! Pero shes taaan feo … No importa) estoy a 33000, millas con no se preocupe. Tengo todas las motos de propiedad de mi vida, y nada se compara con una Harley Davidson.

  • pomfer says:

    Just fine But Im staying with my 63 Pan
    My next will be one of those kit bikes With a up to date Stroker Pan Engine

  • bluff mike says:

    AMF tried to introduce quality control back in the 70s, but since the employees bought it they continue to have issues and problems that he oldest motorcycle manufacturer shouldn’t have. Lots of times the dealership won’t admit a bike has a problem until it is too late. We are talking major repair at 15-20,000 miles.

  • dingram1 says:

    Amazing Joe B hasn’t popped off on this one? As far as quality? HD owners say the quality is #1. Others say they are terrible for leaking and cutting off. I personally never owned one so I don’t know much about them. I can say that I priced one and it priced out at twice the money I paid for my Honda Shadow. I guess if you can afford a bike that costs as much as a Harley does you can afford to fix it when it breaks? I will say this, they damn sure sound sweet and look good though!

    Obtener una grave moto, comprar una BMW.you 'll nunca mirar hacia atrás. Mi amigo se 25yo, 260K en el reloj y sigue marcando como un reloj.

  • Bad Company says:

    One thing I can say nice about Harley is they have top notch quality and parts availablity.

    They dont handle, or preform like other machines, so I guess you can have everthing.
