Why Buy a Harley®?

Thinking about getting your own motorcycle? We think you should get a Harley®. Okay, so maybe we're a little biased, but we wouldn't invest in something we didn't believe in. No doubt you've seen opinions all over the internet, both good and bad. And you've probably also seen something like, "I can't explain it, I just like Harley®'s better." Well we're here to fill in those blanks for you. We've provided some of the top reasons people choose Harley®'s time and time again. But to see one in person, swing by Durango Harley-Davidson®. We proudly serve Durango, Colorado near Cortez, Alamosa, and Montrose. We also serve Farmington, Bloomfield, and Aztec, New Mexico.

Heavyweight Advantages

Harley®'s are known to pack a little extra weight, with a few exceptions. Sometimes this makes riding them difficult for novices, but there are lots of advantages to owning a heavier bike. It's all about practicality and functionality. Lightweight bikes let you take tight curves faster, but they can also get pushed around in windy conditions and they don't hold up as well over long distances. Heavier Harley®'s, like our touring models, provide stability and durability. You'll stay upright without fighting the forces of nature. And, contrary to popular belief, they're quite athletic for their size. All that grounded confidence helps you master general high-speed maneuvers faster as you won't be worried about falling over. And if big touring motorcycles just aren't your thing, then check out the Harley® Street Rod®!. This street bike is light, fast, and exceptionally agile.

Massive Engines

Part of that weight comes from the hefty motor you'll be packing. The standard engine for Harley®'s are V-Twins, giving you unbridled power and immense torque to propel you down the road without worrying about losing control. And since they're built for large motorcycles, you'll have more horsepower than you realized you wanted. It's just more layers to your confidence and control over your bike.

Lasting Value

With over a century of experience, Harley-Davidson® has spent countless hours making sure your bike is going to last. While all the hardware is hearty enough to last, part of the trick to motorcycle longevity is in our infamous customization options. While we like to advertise them as a way to personalize your bike, they're also nice if something breaks. You probably won't have to special order a replacement part; odds are there's one nearby. Your bike is made to last so you can get as much out of it as you deserve.

Easy Maintenance

Because we've made these bikes to be rider friendly, this also means they're easy for you to work on from the comfort of your garage. While all vehicles require regular maintenance of some kind, Harley® maintenance is relatively easy. For example, the belt-driven mechanism is lightweight, hard to damage, and easy to replace. On top of that, you'll get automatic valve adjustments, an easy-to-clean carburetor, and affordable parts.
