I'd like to buy a Harley Davidson, but I don't want to re-finance my house. Any suggestions?

Question:
Somebody suggested a Honda VTX1300 because it's a better bike, and I can can get it for half the price of a Harley Softtail.

Answers:

First time bike?

Yes. Don't do it. If you want to feel important, buy the Harley. If you want to be smart, buy the Honda. Don't get a Harley because of the identity you feel it will afford you, because the folks who ride them don't care, and they make entirely too much damn noise for the miniscule amount of cool they offer these days. If you do get one, get a damn old one and don't be pretentious about it.

Suggestions for additional motorcycle lighting, LED or non-LED?

Go with the Honda or a similar bike. The Harley will be there when you can afford one. I commend you on not re-financing your home for a bike.

Motorcycle storage problem?

You want a Harley so nothing else will do. Take out an equity loan on your house. That's not like re-financing it and the interest rate will be lower than anything else you can get. Or maybe join a credit union for a loan, I hear they have pretty low interest rates. Anything you get besides a Harley, well, it ain't no Harley, now is it? Go for it. I've always wanted a Harley too, but I settled for a Suzuki Intruder. It has a V twin engine like a Harley, but as somebody pointed out that was driving by in a car while I was washing and polishing my bike in my driveway, "It ain't no Harley." Point taken.

No matter how much Harley improves their bikes they continue to be unreliable.

The Honda is FAR superior as is the Yamaha Star. The jap bikes are so good that Harley tried to patent the SOUND so they couldn't compete. (They lost their court challenge and couldn't patent the plop a plop a exhaust sound.

What bike would you recomend ???

I have ridden with a guy with a 1300 Honda and it is very nice.

Ninja 250?


Beyond a doubt, you will ride more and repair a Honda less than a HD.

My son has a belt drive go cart and i am havin to tighten the belt all the time becouse it streaches and slips

if you think the cost of the harley is bad, wait until you have to repair it or do anything to it. Its twice or more what other bikes will cost you. They have to pay for their advertising somehow dont they? Get a Honda or Yamaha and spend your money riding. They are very dependable.

I have a song that is stuck in my head but i don't know the name of it are how sing it?

Harley Davidson does their own financing from what I understand.I own 4 and have never had any of them financed.I figure that a motorcycle is a luxuary and if you can't afford to buy one out right then you can't afford one.

Why are vespas used so much in italy?

Okay, I'm dating myself here, but I remember the Hogs as road oilers and about as reliable as a used car salesman. Today ain't much different man, buy the Honda or a Kawasaki. If you just cant live without the Harley, sell the wife, the kids, the car and cash in your life insurance, then you'll be a fat, broke, lonely Harley owner, but at least you'll have that hog to keep you warm on those long cold nights.

Where is the battery on a 2000 Vino 49cc.?

You could get a used Softail in xlnt. cond. for 12-14 k, you don't have to barrow to buy a Harley ,just go into the sock drawer and grab a handfull of your "Mad Money" and get your Softail.
You probably know you can spend 20 on a nicely set up new one but I personally like the Evo better than the Twin cam anyway.

How to keep going on wheelie for long??

If you have your heart set on a Harley and you can't afford new, buy a used one. It will be a little cheaper, depending on the age and condition and just may fit your budget. I believe in spending my money on things I know I really want. Something else will only be a temporary fix. If you buy any other bike, you'll end up still wanting the Harley but riding something you really didn't want. Is that spending your money wisely? Save up, shop around and research interest rates. Where there's a will, there is a way. Search for it.

Does a motorcycle with a 250cc engine have enough power to get around town?

You can pick up good shovelheads all day long for $6000 to $8000. That's for one in primo condition. Or buy one that needs work and start chopping. I've been into HD's for 40 years and that's what I've always done. Plus you will be showing lots more class and heart than riding some lame brand new twinkie like a rubbie poser.

How long does it take to get your motorcycles license?

How too start a 81 yamaha seca motorcycle?

I ride in a mixed (Harley, Jap, European) riding club. The HD break and fill up more often - see it on every ride. Save your cash on the purchase price, lower your insurance, lower gas cost, and ride a lot more. If you want to train to become a mechanic and own shares in Haliburton buy the HD.

HARLEY question?

Your first statement was "I'd like to buy a Harley Davidson". This goal is obtainable with out refinancing your home. If you can wait, wait until October-December, this is when the new 08 bikes will be in the showroom. As dealers try to make room for the newer models they will discount the previous year models for quick sale. Since this is also the time most people trade in and trade up, dealers don't have the room for all the bikes taken in on trade and often discount the used bikes quite a bit for a quicker sale. You have to be ready to buy since these go fast. I saw a 2003 Electriglide that was traded in and the dealer wanted $10,000. Two days later when I went back to show my wife it was sold. Another place to get a good deal on Harleys is at a car dealership that also sell bikes, they are usually flexible in their pricing and also have more financing options available. You can check out www.HDTrader.com where you can see many bikes some within the price range I believe is affordable. Even dealers use this website so once again you can negociate the price. The nicest thing about this website, you can sign up for email alerts when the bike you are looking for is added to the site. I have even seen some "repairables" listed if you know how to do this kind of work, I saw one Electriglide on there for about $7000, but I am not knowlegable in this area so what looked like minimal damage may be major expense.If you are willing to travel, I am in PA and saw some good prices in FL. You can have what you want but jHarley is ust like a new cadillac, it is very expensive, you can get a very nice used one for alot less if you do your shopping around. If you really want a Harley, follow your dream you will be happier in the long run. I did the car dealer route, and now I am ready to trade up. Harley does have a good resale. At least the ones I have called about were sold almost as soon as they were listed. You won't find a better support group than "HOG" Harley Owners Group, I am really happy about choosing my Harley over a V-Star or Boulevard I was looking at. Good luck!!
