DO NOT BUY A NEW HARLEY! You are at your dealerships mercy and my dealership wasn't smart enough to stay in business! IS YOURS?
After saving for years I finally got my first new Harley and I loved it for a while. But there is NO joy in owning it now because it needs a little bit of warranty work and Harley expects me to ship my Harley back to the mainland to get my warranty work performed! I wish I would have never bought it!!
I CALLED HARLEY DAVIDSON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY JOHN THAT HARLEY DAVIDSON DEALERSHIPS WERE CLOSING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY! WILL YOURS BE NEXT?
Will you ship your Harley hundreds and possibly thousands of miles at your own expense to have warranty work performed? If You are not willing to do that then do NOT buy a new Harley or You will be very sorry!
I have a 2008 Harley that is still under "Harley Davidson Warranty" and the gas gauge doesn't work and the clutch reservoir has leaked since day one. But my local Harley dealership went under, (the losers), and now Harley will NOT fix my bike unless I "ship it back to the mainland" as per John at Harley Davidson Customer Service. Yes, John actually said that. He also said there was no manager that I could talk to. Apparently, according to John at Harley Davidson customer service, there is no one besides these phone jockeys to help You. It's like calling a foreign country!
Before You buy a new Harley try calling customer service and try talking to a manager, I'll bet my Harley the people at customer service will NOT let You talk to a manager. Then if You are smart You will realize that there is no Harley Davidson corporation standing behind your Harley, only your local dealership. Then if You are really smart You WILL NOT EVER BUY A HARLEY!!
Buy a foreign bike, You'll be glad You did!!
Anyone want to buy a slightly used Harley? I do NOT want mine anymore. I want a foreign bike!!
