USED Harley-Davidsons
If answering a "Harley For Sale" ad in the paper, there are things you may want to consider. Slapping down your hard earned dollars on that Harley Davidson (or another motorcycle) is a major step. There is nothing better than the feeling of owning a Harley, especially if it is your very first Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Unlike any other vehicle, a motorcycle is much more persona. How close a rider feels to the motorcycle stems mainly from the riding experience. Before you go out and buy a motorcycle, whether it is used or new, take the time to think about what kind of Harley Davidson or other motorcycle you want to own.
Motorcycles come in many different styles and sizes. I is really important that you match your motorcycle to your particular riding style. Harley Davidson is known for their cruisers and custom style bikes rather than for their sport bikes, although the Sportster foes fall under the sport bike category. Your riding style is important because it directly affects your riding experience. If the long road trip is what you are after, then buying a sport bike is not your best option. This may seem obvious but you would be surprised how many people buy a bike that just ends up sitting in their garage because it does not fit their needs or expectations.
HARLEY DAVIDSON Touring Motorcycles
The Harley Davidson touring family (dressers) include three Road King models, and five Glide models. The Road Kings have a "retro cruiser" appearance and most models are equipped with a large windshield. Harley Davidson Road Kings are reminiscent of big-twin models from the 1940s and '50s. Glides can be identified by their full front fairings. Most Glides sport a unique fairing referred to as the "Batwing" due to its unmistakable shape. The Road Glide has a different front end, referred to as the "Sharknose". The Sharknose includes a unique, dual front headlight. Harley Davidson touring models are distinguishable by large 
luggage, rear coil-over air suspension and are the only models to offer full fairings with Radios/CBs. Harley Davidson touring models use the same frame, first introduced with a Shovelhead motor in 1980, and carried forward with only modest upgrades to this day. The frame is distinguished by the location of the steering head in front of the forks and was the first Harley Davidson frame to rubber mount the drivetrain to isolate the rider from the vibration of the big V-twin. Although all touring models weigh in excess of 800 lb (360 kg)., they are remarkably easy to handle at low speeds and high, and give the most comfortable and relaxing ride of any Harley. The frame was modified for the 1994 model year when the oil tank went under the transmission and the battery was moved inboard from under the right saddlebag to under the seat. In 1997, the frame was again modified to allow for a larger battery under the seat and to lower seat height. In 2007, Harley introduced a the 96 cubic inch motor, as well the 6 speed transmission to give the rider better speeds on the highway. In 2006, Harley introduced the FLHX, a bike designed by Willie G. Davidson to be his personal ride, to its touring line and in 2008, Harley Davidson added anti-lock braking systems and cruise control as a factory installed option on all touring models.
For the 2009 model year, Harley-Davidson has redesigned the entire touring range with several changes, including a new frame, new swingarm, a completely revised engine-mounting system, 17-inch front wheels for all but one model, a six-gallon gas tank, and a 2-1-2 exhaust. The changes result in greater load carrying capacity, better handling, a smoother engine, longer range and less exhaust transmitted to the rider and passenger. Also released for the 2009 model year is the FLHTUCTG Tri Glide Ultra Classic, the first three-wheeled Harley Davidson since the Servi-Car was discontinued in 1973. The model features a unique frame and a 103 cid engine exclusive to the trike.
