2002 Harley-Davidson reviews

This is my wife's bike which we have had since 2004, with 2260 miles when we purchased it. She has ridden it across the country in 2017 along with me on my Roadking. She has also ridden it on two previous 2000 mile trips. The bike has been well maintained by a local Harley knowledgeable shop. My wife had a mini stroke and is no longer riding. The bike has a number of upgrades. It's a fun bike to ride! Show less

The all-around performance I like about the Dana White glide the authentic Harley look The true Harley look The fact that Harley stuck with the actual Harley instead of all the fancy stuff and I like how comfortable they are and the maneuverability that you have the styling the fact that it would be very comfortable for long distance rides I wish Harley would bring back the Dana White glide. The Dana White light and the V-Twin 88 was what saved. Harley years ago and the fact that Harley is not a stunt bike. It is a cruising bike and is a luxury it is not built to do anything but cruise comfortably and the fact that it is an American icon and American machine and in some ways I think Harley is getting taken away from the American view of the Harley, the American part of being Harley Show less

I have a 2002 Dyna wide glide definitely rides different than my Roadking did ,my Dyna gives me more of the old school feel with a lot of power .. it’s not for long distances for me but it’s a blast to ride around and down to the beach 🏝️.. Show less

I have sent 3 emails ( no phone # provided) with no response. I have cash in hand. Been riding for 45 plus years. I believe that this is a scam! Contacted CycleTrader via phone call. They were no heip at all. Ugh!! Show less

I stand 6'2" tall and weigh 260 lbs. I bought a 2002 H-D Sportster 1200c because I always liked the Sportster and since I've had it, it's become my favorite motorcycle. It handles very well. It's a powerhouse of a machine that dos not like to take it easy. The Sportster has an abundance of chrome and classic styling that'll have heads turning. The forward controls help me find comfort on even long rides and best of all, the it's backed by a network of parts and accessories that will allow you to customize your Sporty any way your heart desires. I highly recommend this bike for anyone looking for an experience, not just a boring ride. A bike made for the most diehard enthusiast, you will be addicted after the first ride. Show less

Bought this bike with 22k on it. The 88ci is a little sluggish for the size of bike, even with injection. However, put 10k on first year, amazing ride, very comfortable. Over the years installed S Show less

After 4 weeks of riding, the engine just suddenly stopped while I was cruising at 45 mph, like I had pressed the engine's off switch. I rolled to the side, turned off and on the ignition again and it started like normal. It seems this is pretty normal for these bikes according to many Harley members on a forum. Even HD mechanics wasn't sure what it was since it's difficult to replicate the problem since it is happening rare and very random. Some said it could happen 3 times a month, others 1 time per year. The second problem with the bike is the riding position = the air filter and engine is so big and wide that your legs get spread out way too much, making it hard to reach break pedal. Another problem with this is wind during higher speeds: At 70 to 80 mph the wind will hit your spread out legs so hard that it feels you will lose grip on the foot-pegs. So you sort of hold on to the bike as you feel the wind will pull you off. Another issue with the bike is the dreaded fork "clunk" = every time you hit a small bump in the road or breaks a bit hard on your forward breaks your forks will give this metallic "clunk" sound. This is apparently something that is normal with the bikes and HD mechanics says it's just the way it's constructed. Also on forums many have various meanings why this sound occurs. All from lose gas tank, not enough oil in the forks, or some bolts not screwed tight enough. But none seems to be able to fix this. Also having 70 hp, the bike's torque and acceleration is very bad. Maybe it's due to it's heavy weight of 661 lbs or just old engine technology. My 1400 Intruder with it's 60 hp would smoke this heavy hog any day. Coming back to my Intruder after many weeks of riding the Harley I came to a conclusion = The Harley felt like something from world war 2. Noisy, shaky and unreliable with bad performance. The Intruder outperforms the Harley in every department. It even looks slicker and cooler. I am selling my Harley and will keep the best cruiser bike I ever ridden Show less

After searching for quite some time and riding season approaching, I investigated this Ultra; low miles, great condition, one owner, still has factory rear tire on it for a fantastic price! I rode it 70 miles home on a 40 degree day and it was AWESOME! Thanks Cycle Trader! Show less

I got this motorcycle in a trade with 270 miles on it bone stock. Got it to re sell it but with an air cleaner and pipes it woke the lil purple monster up. Needs Fwd controls for a taller rider but a great bike for begginners. Not a rocket but fun as hell.... would recommend unless the imports are your style /USA and "TRUMP" 2020 Show less
