2006 Harley-Davidson reviews

I purchased an extremely well maintained Harley with 10,000 miles from an individual in Texas. Looks new and rides like a dream. I paid less than dealer retail. Very smooth transaction all the way around. I hired a local motorcycle transport company in Houston (Marx Motorcycle Moving) to go to Dallas and pick it up and deliver it back to me. Show less

JUST PURCHASED BIKE USED WITH ONLY 3000 MILES SO FAR IM IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER AND OVERALL BIKE . YOU CAN DEFINATLY TELL THEY PUT MORE QUALITY INTO THE SCREAMIN EAGLE VERSION BUT THE HARLEY SUSPENSION IS CRAP . ALSO KNOW ILL BE CHANGING THE CAM CHAIN TENSIONERS BEFORE TO LONG AS THEY WERE JUNK BACK THEN. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THAT SINCE THEY KNOW THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. NOT TAKING CARE OF MAJOR ISSUES LIKE THAT IS MAKEING SOME DIE HARD HARLEY GUYS LOOK AT INDIAN AND VICTORY Show less

It was really great to see how lovely this motorcycle is. Show less

I've had several different motorcycles in my time but I think the Heritage Softail is my favorite. It looks good, handles like a dream and most of all, my wife loves to ride on it with me. Show less

I've had this bike since new and have had no problems. It still looks great. Like I said, she's my girl and I love to ride her. Show less

I traded a 1989 883 Sportster. What a difference - smooth, can see in the mirrors, ride 300 miles and feel like I got out of a car. My feet are flat on the ground with a 28" inseam. There's plenty of power for my wife and me. The low center of gravity makes it easy to handle. Everywhere I go, people compliment the bike's looks - white/blue pearl. I get 42/52 mpg. I plan to add an oil cooler. I wish it came stock with one. I wish it had key fob security like the newer bikes. I get a lot of boot marks on the heat shields of the pipes...only complaint.

I took better than six months for me to find a pre-owned Road King Classic, and I found my '06 in vivid black (looks just like the pic) with only 3K miles in cleaner than new condition and all the right mods alreaady made for me: V & H slip ons and re-chipped, HD backrest, plus all HD upgraged chromed grips and lower controls...the bike is pure eye candy. I've ridden sportbikes since 1984, and still own a 2000 Hyabusa. But my sixth grade son says the Busa scares him (it scares me too!)...so I finally made the jump. My boy and I always go out together riding on the Harley, and all I can say is that you just can't stop smiling while you're on it. It is the most comfortable riding experience and really lets you enjoy your surroundings in a completely different way than on a crotch rocket. I have yet to try out the cruise control. If I ever do get rid of my '06 Road King Classic, it'll be for only one reason - to get into a newer 103c.i. version! Show less

I purchased it in 2007 with 1500 miles. I have ridden the bike locally only with some 200-300 miles put on here and there. It has always been a pleasurable riding experience. I did have the bike bottom out a couple of times and set the adjusted shocks to full stiffness which alleviated that problem. I was pleasantly suprised to find the bike had a power commander preinstalled so when I went to dealer to have the V-Rod injectors installed, they couldn't spank me for the 100 dollar remap! I went round and round with the seat upgrade for the passenger. I ended up with a factory P pad, It keeps the original seat stance and comfort. It's a great bike so far. Show less

What a great bike to get for a first Harley. The ride of this bike is awesome. Runs smooth down the road. Gets a lot of attention where ever I go with it. Will never own anything but a Harley the rest of my life. Vivid black and chrome all the way. Looks great! Show less

I bought this fine machine after a lifetime of second hand Harleys. I wanted a bagger but didn't want all the radio BS so this was perfect. The two years didn't see many miles due to a busted leg but 2009 proved to be the true test. I rode from Michigan to the florida Keys 2 times and to LA once and numurous 3-5 hundred mile weekend rides. The only problem I have is the seat because of my large body and boney butt. I love this bike. It even was a small part in the reason for a divorce :) Show less
