WHY BUY A HARLEY-DAVIDSON® MOTORCYCLE?

When you look for a motorcycle, you nearly drown in a sea of options. There’s not just one motorcycle for everyone – there are hundreds of motorcycles for everyone! Whatever your riding level and riding style is, you’ll be able to find option after option. So where do you start?

A great place to begin weeding out choices is by focusing on one brand. When you go with a trusted brand who earned their good reputation, you can rest easy picking any of their motorcycles. You’ll know it’s built to last, comes with a fair warranty, and will last many years to come. That’s exactly what you get when you buy a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle! We put together a list of our top reasons to buy a Harley bike below. For all your Harley needs, visit Redwood Harley-Davidson®. We proudly serve those in Eureka and Redding, California.

The Ride Experience

The ride experience differs on touring motorcycles versus cruiser motorcycles. But when you ride a Harley motorcycle, you can rest assured that you will get a top performing ride. Most models use the Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin engine. It can accelerate much faster than comparable engines, up to three motorcycle lengths quicker even!

When you ride Harley touring motorcycles, you ride machines built for comfort. Most use effective heat management strategies to keep hot engine air from roasting your legs. Many use an ergonomic design for their riding position. Bring along a buddy to help you navigate and pass the time. Touring motorcycles are your ticket to comfortable endurance rides (or commuting each day).

When you ride Harley cruiser motorcycles, you ride machines built for cruising down the highway. Their goal is to tear up the concrete jungle. Enjoy the quick acceleration you need to go fast once that red light turns green. You’ll be darting in and out of traffic, which means you’ll need a responsive motorcycle able to navigate around other motorists. The powerful engine propels you down the road and the easy handling makes for a stress-free ride. Cruiser motorcycles take you around town in no time at all!

Customization

Harley fans want to go off the beaten path. They live a life of freedom, attitude, and standing out. So why shouldn’t their motorcycles be unique too? Harley-Davidson creates numerous custom packages for their customers, which lets them tweak their motorcycle to their preferences.

Touring motorcycles are already built for top comfort. But this usually comes at the cost of style. If you are looking to upgrade, consider a new paint job or colored LED lights. These aesthetic features help you express more personality on your ride.

Cruiser motorcycles are already built for style. But this tends to come at the cost of comfort. Consider getting upgrades that make your ride more enjoyable, like an ergonomic and adjustable backrest. If you are tall or short, you can get upgrades built with you in mind! These adjust your handlebars and seat to be more comfortable for those who aren’t of average height.

Regardless of the type of motorcycle you ride, you can always benefit from adjustments to how the motorcycle rides. There are plenty of customizations that boost the motorcycle’s power, acceleration, or fuel efficiency. The more often you ride, the more worthwhile of an investment those upgrades will be.

Ownership Perks

Owners of touring motorcycles and cruiser motorcycles alike are all apart of the same group when they buy a Harley motorcycle: they join the thriving Harley community.
