I am not a biker so you can disregard if you want to, but those I know tell me the Harley is the standard. It is the American made standard of excellence they say. Harley owners would not have anything else.
 
It may seem like a dumb question to many of you, but I've heard greatly mixed reviews on HD bikes. Some people say they leak oil non-stop and always have trouble. Others claim that an HD will last forever as long as you take the time to conduct basic maintenance. So what is the truth about Harley Davidson? I'm looking for honest answers from people that have owned them. I'm not looking for some two word review without the experience to back up what you say - That especially goes for you, Bart S. In fact, don't even answer this question, Bart.

If your bike is great, tell me. If it's had its problems, tell me. I want the truth, HD owners.
 
For a while, years ago, Harley was owned by a company named AMF. During that period they produced a lower quality bike. Prior to and following that time they produced a high quality machine, and still do.
 
HD bikes are reliable as long as you don't get the lowest grade HD possible. My dad has a 100th anniversary bike, and its awesome, not many problems.
