“The great ones don’t come cheap!” I couldn’t agree more. Harley Davidson has been an emblematic name in the motorcycle production industry since I was born. In fact, they’ve been, and continue to be, the sharks in the industry for centuries. But what keeps their ever-loyal customers coming back for more other than the good look, on-top-of-the-world feel, and the roar of a Harley engine? Well, grab a coffee and get comfortable as I disclose every reason you should get yourself a Harley.
The Massive Engine
If there’s one thing HD delivers well, it’s the colossal V-twin engine. Be assured, the massiveness matches the high power and torque for super performance. I’d call it a fair negotiation if I had one of these beasts and had to sacrifice speed due to the heavyweight of the engine. It’s a shot I’m willing to take.
To top it all, the heavyweight increases stability and cornering making them the ideal bikes for an adventurous owner. And of course, the V-Twin engine is an upgrade over the years and so is the performance. The engine’s roar is due to the engine’s computer chip that is programmed to run louder than usual and who doesn’t love a beast that knows its job!
However, while some may complain that it is not uncommon for their engines to break down, isn’t that what they do? After all, these are machines and machines have mechanical glitches, right?
Quality
Harley-Davidson OEM parts are built to last. Unlike other models, they are very reliable – but only with correct maintenance and complete servicing. It is garbage in garbage out relationship. You give your ‘baby’ crappy service you get crappy rides. Otherwise, with a proper maintenance record, proper breaking-in period, and no damages or oil leakages, a Harley would have extended longevity. Just like its name!
Simple Maintenance
If the first thing you thought was cheaper servicing, I hate to burst your bubble but nothing screams cheap on a Harley Davidson. Nonetheless, due to its engineered mechanics and durability, you can do the servicing all on your own if you don’t mind getting dirty. Ideally, it’s good to take it down to a professional, every once in a while, for a special check-up. Its belt-driven mechanism makes repair and replacement easy. They have easy to clean carbs as well as automatic valve adjustments.
