Why Buy a Harley Motorcycle?

Few names are so synonymous with the motorcycle industry as Harley-Davidson. Their popularity kept them afloat through the Great Depression, the Great Recession and World Wars. They are the brand of choice for many celebrities from Elvis to Cher. The company built its reputation atop of quality, innovation, and style - a reputation they maintain to this day.

In the following article, we dive more into what sets Harley motorcycles apart and makes them such sought after motorcycles. When you are ready to check out Harley models, visit Texarkana Harley-Davidson®. We proudly serve those in Texarkana and Omaha, Texas.

Performance

Start up a Harley motorcycle. That sound you hear is raw power waiting to be unleashed. Most recent Harley models are fueled through the Milwaukee-Eight® V-Twin engine. It leaves the competition in the dust with its unparalleled acceleration (up to three whole bike lengths faster than comparable engines). But this power won't come at the cost of excessive engine heat blowing on your legs. The heat management system bounces the engine heat away from you. These engines are built tough so you can ride for hours on end without worry.

The unique frame of Harley motorcycles impacts their performance as well. They run big - just like your attitude. The extra weight does more than give you more motorcycle to love. It improves your stability, which helps you nail that tight corner with ease. You'll be a lean, mean, road-conquering machine atop a Harley bike.

Customization

A motorcycle straight from the factory is designed to appeal to a large group of people. That's how a company makes money after all! But what are the odds that everyone who buys the same motorcycle have the same height, weight, color preferences, riding abilities, and riding styles? It's safe to say the odds are zero.

Enter: customization. There are many upgrades that better tailor your motorcycle to your needs. Harley motorcycles are known for easy customization. The company even develops many every year. You can buy a customization knowing it'll be compatible with your motorcycle. No need to worry about an ill-fitting part causing damage or needing to be return. With Harley customizations, the process is a breeze!

Customizations affect many aspects of motorcycle riding. If you commute or take long-distance rides, look into perks to boost ride comfort. For example, an ergonomic backrest can help prevent an aching back. If you want to show off your personality, consider a paint job or adding colored LED lighting. If you are short or tall, there are customizations to adapt your motorcycle to your height. You'll be hard-pressed to find a customization option that Harley-Davidson doesn't offer!

Value

When you buy a motorcycle, you are making an investment. Either you invest in a vehicle you hope to ride until it dies. Or you invest in a vehicle you hope to sell down the road. Whatever your intention is, you need a motorcycle built to last and retain its value.

Harley motorcycles are a great investment. They are built solid and will last you many years. Get your money's worth by riding until it dies. Or make the cost of your next motorcycle cheaper by trading it in or selling it. Because of the brand's popularity, there are dealerships and mechanics familiar with the models everywhere. It's easy to find expert maintenance anytime you need, which also helps your motorcycle maintain its value.
