Would You Buy a New Harley Trike?

[tourman]

I'd never own a harley, even the thought of it is shameful

 

[BKtrike]

You should never shop in a supermarket when your hungry....But does that work when you stop in a Harley Dealer and they have a few brand new shiny Trikes sitting there...And the 114 engine has a lot more get up and go than the previous engines 'And right out of the box to boot.......

drop in the 447 Torque cam and hold on!

I made a mistake today, happened to stop by the dealership for some refreshment and bathroom break. They had several 2021 trikes on the floor, my buddy Greg who was with us goaded me into asking for a test drive, what the hell, why not. My 15 is the only trike we've been on and we like it even after 6 years but the '21 we took out was fantastic. Shifting was so smooth and the power with the newer engine was great and there was a lot of torque. We wouldn't have a problem with a new HD trike, 6 years and only 2 minor problems, my 1 year old SUV has been in the shop 3 times in 1 year. We shall see what develops, lol.

Here's the voices Gary. "not the cvo,get the Tri".:xszpv:

 

[Bouncer]

Nope.

I personally don't want anything to do with ABS brakes on a Tri Glide.

That's basically the main reason I'll stay with my 2017

 

[rhino 2]

No… This I the last trike no matter who the manufacturer is… The dollar cost for fun at my age is not worth the price.

And that said I just last week bought a new Honda Side By.

Ie; Fun on a different playing ground..

 

[ROAD DOG]

NO NEVER

 

[headheaded]

No. Want nothing to do with ABS or that traction control setup on a trike.

 

[Coastie]

100% air cooled for me. Don't want electronics other than occasionally a radio or CD. I'll stick with my '12 Tri Glide.

 

[Halfnormal]

I am going to put my money in some wild modifications to my existing trike when I can afford it. It will be all mine!

:Agree:

 

[NHBAGGER]

Yup, bought a 21 cvo last fall. The clock is ticking for me and decided I should have one more brand new bike. Last new one was a 2001 Classic I had for about 13 years.

 

[Evets]

I did just that

Would you buy a new Harley Trike, Why and or why not?

Bought a new 2021 Freewheeler in October 2021.

Why?

1. Legs are not always there when I stop a two-wheeler

2. Balance is not always there when I roll a two-wheeler down the ramp from my shop

3. 3 wheels eliminate those embarrassing moments

4. Because the wife can use the trunk as a coffin when she buries me and my bike

 

[Mykneesbehurtin]

That would be a big NO. If anything I would look for a low milage Twin Cam Road Glide and have a trike kit put on it.

 

[srhart71]

NO. Bought a deceased friends' 2015 Tri Glide from his daughter who let it sit outside for 4 years. Have completely enjoyed redoing everything on it, love riding it. Will never grace mother Harley with any more of my money if there is an aftermarket solution. Learned lesson when it took 5 months to get manuals.

I did just what you stated. I bought a 2001 Roadglide from a good friend of mine in 2007. It was well maintained and had about 40,000 miles on it at the time. In 2016, I had a Champion trike kit installed and now have nearly 100,000 total miles on the bike and never regretted it.

I was in the market for a new Harley trike - had just purchased a new 2021 Ultra. Dealer wanted almost $10,000 over MSRP for the CVO - and said my bike was good for wholesale.

As I thought about our earlier GoldWing trike with the MotorTrike conversion, I decided to look at converting my 2021. TriGlide uses the Lehman platform - straight axel whereas CSC used an independent action. Also looked at the CSC for the rake kit plus, added the running boards

 

[Wmitz]

Maybe….. I think the only way would be if they come out with an IR suspension. Then I might really consider it, but as I get older, maybe a FW.

 

[RickDeVon]

If Miss Mysterious ever goes away it would be for a Freewheeler...

 

[PosseRider]

If I need a new bike,HD is the one for me. :clapping:
