2000 Harley-Davidson reviews

Great comfortable bike the handles like no other. Has the power to keep up with highway traffic or just enjoy some back roads. The Fat Boy is a Harley Davidson Legendary Bike! You won’t go wrong with purchasing a Fat Boy! Show less

I bought the bike brand new in Quincy Illinois. It’s absolutely awesome and extremely fun to ride. I customize the bike myself except for the paint and welding which I had professionally done. Unfortunately I just don’t ride the bike any longer and it’s way too cool for someone not to enjoy! Show less

The bike is dialed in and fun to ride. Shifting is smooth and power constant when getting on the throttle. It was tuned and dyno'd by the best mechanic on the west side and ready for a new home. Personally, I'd repaint it and ditch the monkey bars. A straight bar would serve the bike well and with only 7k original miles, it's a deal. Ride it like you stole it or go easy and cruise. Tons of fun. Show less

I’ve owned my 883 for 23 years. I’ve had other bikes BMW GS, V Strom and a couple of others but I’ve always kept the Sporty. Have ridden it around Australia twice. Taken it on dirt tracks and up rugged mountains. It’s a great bike if you set it up right. Get a comfy seat, longer shocks and some saddlebags. If you’ve got little soft hands and a delicate bottom then well this bike is not for you. The 883 is a way better bike than the 1200 it’s better on fuel and cruises real nice at around 110kmph. Never had any issues. Change the fluids, and replace the battery every 5 years. The sportster is a great bike. Show less

I have had no issues with mine., other that brakes and a brake line leak. It has been very dependable. My main dislike is the seat leaves something to be desired. We have been riding since 1976, started on a Kawaski 440 LTD. Way to small for two people. Went to a 2002 Springer and moved to the Ultra. Weight takes some time to adjust to, smooth on the road, never bogs down on a hill. Will chug long all day long. Show less

This motorcycle is such a beauty. I ordered it as soon as it came on the market, waited for it, and never felt anything but excited about this bike. It's incredibly comfortable, and you can ride long days on the road without feeling fatigued when you get home. What I enjoyed most was customizing the few items I felt it needed (pipes, handlebars, grips, pegs, foot controls, mirrors. Plus, the fuel valve, gas gauge, and cap). It was a lot of fun shopping online, in the Harley store, and at different bike shops picking out all the perfect pieces to add. It came together beautifully. It shines, and the sound of the pipes is the most incredible in the world. It draws a lot of attention, and I love meeting new people. Sharing stories and making new friends while cruising around is almost as fun as riding. The only thing I didn't like was the solid back wheel, but I like the back tire's size a lot! This bike handles curves beautifully and accelerates up hills quickly. It's so much fun to ride! I recommend this motorcycle for its power and comfort and because it's unique from other Harley's. Everyone always has similar-looking Harley's, but the Deuce is special. Show less

I received this bike for Father’s Day from my grandson’s other grandfather. He didn’t ride anymore and he knew I’d always wanted a Harley. He called and said, “Come and pick up your Harley. Happy Father’s Day. He’d bought it new for $19995 in 2000 and ridden it just 2800 miles. He kept it garaged (an air conditioned garage). He told me to pick up a battery in the way. He hadn’t started it in a while because the battery was dead (apparently they don’t last 22 years). We dropped in the new battery and by the third crank that baby started right up. I dropped it off at an independent Harley / Chopper shop for a once over, change the 22 year old oil/tranny/primary fluids, and put on new tires. It’s like the bike had been in stasis for two decades. Runs like new. Show less

I've had this bike a few years now and I truly love her, she is a great all around bike. You can run to the store to pick up something for dinner, use her as a computer, cruise her to bike night, or just take off for a few days and go ghost. She's like the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. And you'll hear "get a real bike" usually from a bagger bro. But let's be honest. How many motorcycle models can claim the honor of being in constant production sense 1957. That says a lot about the loyalty to the Sportster line. I'm not a stone Harley owner, I also own a 73 Honda chopper. So I don't bleed black and orange, but for what I want her to do (witch is pretty much everything) she does it willingly. So don't let the name Sportster discourage you, will be pleasantly surprised. Show less

I sold an FX in 1982 and waited until 2010 to do it again. I love it. The Heritage has the best of everything - bags, windshield, foot boards. It's a great short trip cruiser and you can spend the day in the saddle. I really like the low seating - you're in the bike not on it. Show less

I purchased my bike two years ago. It was sitting in a garage for four years and had never been started. It still had the original battery. After putting the battery on a charger, the bike started and ran perfectly. I then took the bike on a test drive and fell in love. The bike has had no problems. It rides, looks and sounds great. Vibration is high on the highway, but other than that I have no complaints. This is the perfect bike for cruising around town and going on short trips. It is very dependable and I recommend it as a great starter bike. Show less
