Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic reviews

I purchased this 2019 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic a few years ago. I've always loved working on my bike, adding accessories, adding cams for performance upgrades and otherwise fully enjoying it. I've invested over $8,500.00 beyond the original purchase price to make one of the best performing and most beautiful motorcycles I've owned, 13 motorcycles in 50 years. I've been at it for quite some time. The new M8 engine from Harley was quite the technical upgrade from the Moco and the only down side was the exhaust note. There wasn't any. I purchased and had the shops best and most senior mechanic install the S Show less

I bought this Road Glide new in 2008 and had the dealership add many "extras". The bike is older schoolHarley with vibration at Idle which is classic HD. Road trips are fantastic with cruise control, great sound and plenty of storage. The Fairing is fixed (shark nose) and allows good air flow and protection. Floor boards allow ample movement and the seat is comfortable. The King tour Pack my spouse really like it a lot when she rode. The tour pack gives security for the rear passenger with a large back area for support. The reach seat has great padding for the passenger and is good for firm support at stop sign and red lights. Overall this has been a great bike but just don't ride it enough to honor it. Show less

In my opinion this bike would be a perfect fit for someone's first Harley. Looks good and runs great. Brand new fuel system and fuel gauge. Engine has great torque according to the tech from HD. Garage kept and covered. Most of the factory parts have been replaced along with additional chrome added. Show less

Excellent motorcycle, extremely reliable, comfortable ride with forward controls and mini Apes. Always kept up with maintenance. This bike made it to Sturgis 2012 and back to Seattle. Helping my mother in CA selling the bike there. Have title and will have bill of sale for the buyer. Bike is located in Milpitas CA at the moment. Will sell for 6000. Show less

I've never had a Harley before - this is my first one. First impressions are: 1. Smoother than I had imagined. 2. WAY more character than I thought it could have. 3. Good suspension over bumps. 4. Very pleasant riding experience. One con is a lack of power. While it has good torque off the line, it doesn't pull particularly hard. This would make for a great first Harley for someone. I'm an experienced rider and have ridden sports bikes over the years so maybe got used to that power. But I honestly don't miss not having neck-snapping acceleration. This bike is about cruising in comfort and style and character. I really like it. Show less

Love riding this bike. It's a really comfortable bike to ride. Some days, I will ride through an entire tank and not be sore at the end of the tour. Big, heavy, and reliable. Love the classic, retro look of the bike, especially when I remove the windshield. Show less

This is an older HD, so obviously not quite as comfy as the newer models; however, it has held my wife and me in good stead through long trips from SoCal up to Wyoming and Victoria, B.C., among others. With the upgraded Performance Package installed in 2012, the overall power increased by about 15%, and that was a worthwhile addition. I just turned 70, and my joints are starting to fail on me, so physically it was time for me to admit that Father Time has gotten the best of me, at least when it comes to riding a bike. But I've loved my HD from the day I purchased it, and although over the sixteen years that I've owned it, it's got a few bumps and nicks, it's still a solid bike, and if I was ten years younger, I wouldn't consider parting with it. Heels up, and keep it between the ditchs!! :) Show less

Excellent touring bike, fast off the line and cruise about 95-100 mph easy. Comfortable and handles well. Apehangers make it easy to ride. El Ray backrest included. Helmet also included size large HD Helmet. Show less
