2001 Harley-Davidson reviews

I love everything about this motorcycle way cruises the way it takes a long drive on the highway! I love the power it has and I love the way it takes those turns. I love how easy it is to maintain it myself by doing oil changes and modifications myself. Show less

First motorcycle.. was a basket case when I got it. Have pictures from the day I got it to the day it was finished. Very comfortable ride, many many new parts and upgrades. Looking to find something a little bigger and more reliable. Will to trade and add some cash. Really want a Softail or dyna. Show less

Harley produced the Deuce from 1999 to 2005. It remains one of their better designs with features that some of the top customizers use by choice, such as the front forks. Its tank, rear fender, tons of chrome and stance keep it current with all other models on the road today. As there are fewer of them, their unique modern design is still in fashion and popular.

I have owned this bike for over 14 years and never had any problem at all, I have owned a few Harleys and the Night Train has been the best, the most reliable machine I have ever owned, it has been all over and seen the country for years and when it comes down to it I would get on it before any other, dependable reliable and I have had more compliments on this bike everywhere I go, it’s a true Harley Davidson.

Been on Harleys since 1976 have always been an f l h guy Softails at 62 years old decided to try to ride a wide glide then bought one the next day funny of always made fun of these for the last 40 years now my old butt is it going to finish off on one also just bought an f l d Switchback so good my wife calls it comfy she says it's the best riding bike she's been on so two of us guess I'm a dino got now Show less

Absolutely love this sportster!!! I did not like the drag bars and changed them out. Also went to chain drive for different gearing for my personal preference. Bike is great for in town riding and is very quick. Like the forward controls for more comfort. Bike handles very good and can lean it down in the corners further than expected. I did install a Mikuni 42mm carb for just a little more performance. Great bike!!! Show less

I have had many Harley's throughout the years but have always been drawn back to the Nightrain. It's a great platform for customizing. Love the abundance of black on the engine. The one I currently own has had a few things done to it. High compression engine (96"), Mikuni 42, electronic mapping, D&D Bobcat exhaust, Chrome rocker boxes, Hagen Kustom paint, 10" bars, chrome fork lowers etc. This Harley is a blast to ride - extremely quick and responsive yet very reliable. Will get you there and back. Loving this bike. Adding Arlen Ness 3" extensions to the forward controls. At 6'2" it feels a bit cramped. Harley should design adjustable stock forward controls to accomadate taller riders. Don't know how many times I've had to add an extension kit. (money well spent for us tall guys - takes your knees out of your chest). The D&D Bobcat exhaust is fairly new to D&D's product line. I love the aggressive look and proformance. The sound is just loud enough when I'm on the throttle. Show less

My last Sportster reference was a '69 XLCH and it was pretty bad. I took this '01 in on a trade and thought I might ride it a little and then sell it, but it's a great little bike and I think I'm going to keep it. I don't understand where all the stories about horrible vibration, poor handling and lack of comfort are coming from. This thing is as smooth as glass at 65 mph and has only a very slight, very tolerable vibration at 80+ mph. I've ridden it at 80 for over an hour at a time. It's not a sport bike, but it will still go down any twisty road I can find in North Arkansas at twice the legal speed limit or better. I've got about 15 bikes in the garage and find myself throwing a leg over this one more often. Maybe this is just a good one? Show less

I own an 883 and a 1200 and I love the both of them. I have put a lot of chrome on them, they look good and run great. I agree in saying it is an awesome bike. Lots of power and the 1200 can go and keep up with thge rest of them. Great bike, awesome weight to power ratio. Show less

I have A 2003 Road king, a 2009 Ultra Classic, and also a 2001 1200 Sportster C. The Sportster may not be as smooth as a ride as the Classic, but I think it's a very good bike. Good ride, handles well, quick, and smooth. I added more chrome but still an awesome ride. For a 5 speed Sportster or even a 1200cc bike, it's at the top of the line. I give 5 stars. If you're looking to get a Ultra Glide ride from a Sportster, you're way off, but if you're looking for a good ride, and not so much money, and to stay with the Harley family, Sportster is the way to go. 5 Stars.
