Heavyweight Advantages

If you’ve tested or owned a Harley, you know it’s a heavy machine. Heavy machines can be difficult to maneuver and control. Many first time riders are not skilled enough to ride them comfortably. But there are plenty of advantages to owning a heftier motorcycle. It’s not the most athletic or fastest bike, but they’re more stable, especially for long trips or windy roads. Lighter bikes can be pushed around and beat up in these environments, so in this case, faster isn’t always better.

Massive Engines

And speaking of long-distance traveling, you’ll be thankful for your big Harley engine when you want to travel for hours on end. Most Harley’s come standard with a V-twin motor, a big engine, but an essential for the demands of a Harley. These engines give you the kind of low-torque and enduring performance you need for your rides. Not to mention, an engine like that gives Harleys their signature growl.

Lasting Value

Harley-Davidson’s been around since 1903, so we’ve had plenty of time to perfect our craft. You’ll certainly need to take your bike for periodic repairs and leaks, but Harleys are more likely to last in the long run. You’ll save money overall by not having to buy new bikes as often as they break.
