Touring 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

This is an amazing motorcyle, best for any day and road. Try it and you will love it. Polyvalent riding in any conditions. Until you drive such a versatile motorcycle, you wont be ready to buy your next 70/30 city/highway motocycle.... Show less

This motorcycle has been a very reliable vehicle and has been well cared for. The bike runs well and looks good. The full windshield allows comfortable driving in cooler weather and helps keeps rain off of the driver. Crash bar covers are included which also help with wind and rain. I am selling this bike because I'm looking for a bike with more options. Show less

This is the 2nd GL1800 I've owned and sadly my last due only to age (for me, not the bike). Easily the best all-around bike I've ever owned, and definitely the king of long-haul comfort. Likes include a level of equipment and capabilities that still lead the pack compared to many later model touring bikes. Comfortable as an armchair and with addition of air wings, equally as quiet and comfortable for the passenger. With heated seats and grips, plus an adjustable hot air redirect to the feet, this is as comfortable as Winter riding gets. Dislikes are few: obviously, the wired intercom and sound system is dated nowadays and spare parts and cables are getting tougher to find. While the bike is very agile, even at low speeds, it still weighs close to 1,000 pounds fully loaded, and you'll feel every bit of that if it tilts over too far at slow speeds. I'm not going to deduct stars for this - heck, it's a 1.8L bike! If I was 10 years younger, and urban riding hadn't become so crazy where I live, I'd never sell - this is the only bike I've ever owned where I have never, not once, felt envy at the sight of another bike, other than the latest model Gold Wing.

I've been riding for over 54 years. From off road woods machines, motocross, hair scrambles, standard modified 70's street, sport bikes, adventure, and so on. I was introduced to the GS style 25 yrs. ago. Long story short; this is my 4th GS. This bike I picked up after having a 2014 GS. The 2012 is the most reliable bike that BMW ever made. It's the K25 engine that is bullet proof. The handling and performance are equal to anyone that wants to ride; not show. This machine is made for miles and really don't want to let it go. It will take you anywhere with a want to do it again. 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

I loved the comfort and security she gave me. The stereo system never kept me bored on a ride. I always got compliments on the color as well as the lights installed underneath. It is truly a smooth comfortable ride for both rider and passenger. Show less

This is a great motorcycle. I've had it a couple years. It's like a new bike. The owners manual and tools are still in the sidebar. Even the trailer manual is there. The new tires haven't been broke in yet. Nothing is wrong with the bike. It turns heads everywhere I've been. Show less

Absolutely gorgeous motorcycle. The ride is very responsive and very smooth. The motorcycle provides perfect balance of power and performance. The bike looks amazing and is incredibly athletic specially for its size. Show less
