2010 Harley Davidson Road Glide Custom

Although, the road glide custom is agile, partly due to the low center of gravity this is a 800 pound gorilla of a motorcycle!! Handles very well. Very smooth and reliable with all right upgrades you’ll be sure to have a pleasant experience every time. Very quick and nimble. Easy on the mind,...

This motorcycle has been a joy to own. Originally purchased from a family friend who bought it new and after deployment overseas decided when she returned not to ride anymore. I made extensive upgrades to it for light touring around Arizona. I had some wonderful rides on weekends when I was working and for a while before and after Covid when I retired.
I really want to ride more but I am turning 73 soon and I am concerned that my motor skills just aren't where they should be for safe riding. This bike still has many miles of wonderful riding experiences left in her. Anyone looking for a comfortable easy riding light touring bike for weekend trips will not be disappointed.

2006 883R sportster , professionally modified by Steve Shore , former builder , customizer for Iron Horse magazine . Mild custom , with many uograde components , all "top shelf" eg. Wiseco, Mikuni,Screamin' Eagle , SuperTrapp , Twin-tec , and more . Very agressive performer, always garaged and never ridden in wet weather . Must be seen to appreciate the beauty and functionality oif the long list of upgrades . Approx . 13,349 original miles now . Purchased from Harley Dealer formely owned by dealer head tech . A potential purchase you can feel good about all the way home ! As I pile on the years (on ME !) Its time to begin liquidating my toys . This is one of two pristine machines being offered for sale .

NOTE: This is a review of a Sportster 883 Iron (Not an option in the dropdown)
I've never owned a Harley before this one. I've always heard negative things about how Harley's are difficult to maintain and constantly break down... however, this is NOT my experience with this Sportster.
TBH... this was an impulse buy from a neighbor; however, it turned into a fun adventure! I hadn't ridden a motorcycle for close to a decade and it was a great return to the excitement of "flying" without wings. Prior to this bike I had a couple of Yamaha cruisers, a Victory, and had driven every type of bike possible. I've held a motorcycle endorsement on my license since 1998.
If you're interested in a Harley, Sportsters (883 or 1200) are a good initiation into the HOG. Well-balanced, plenty of power to move anyone (I'm 6'4" and 240 pounds) and fun to ride.

This motorcycle could turn a quick ride to the corner store into a cross-country road trip in the blink of an eye. The most comfortable ride ever...It feels like your floating. It has a light, nimble frame for easy handling. Detachable windshield and lockable saddlebags for the open road. The seat is so comfortable you can ride all day. And a low center of gravity coupled with suspension that lets you ride through tight city traffic and twisting miles of highway with equal ease. The best mountain drives ever....Fire it up and see where it takes you.
