- streszczenie wydawcy:

There are lots of books about Harleys, about their history, performance, lineage and the minutae of their specification, but none of them will tell you what to look for when buying one second-hand. That’s what this book is about – it aims at being a straightforward, practical guide to buying a used Harley-Davidson. It won’t list all the correct colour combinations for each year, or analyse the bike’s design philosophy, or consider its background as a cultural icon – there are excellent books listed at the end of this one which do all of that. But hopefully it will help you avoid buying a dud. Point by point, it takes the reader through everything that needs looking at when buying a Harley, plus spares prices, which is the best model to buy for your needs, and a look at auctions, restorations and paperwork

"This book tells it how it is. Harley's are nice bikes but there are bound to be lots of duds, junk and even fakes on the market. Don't get stung for the sake of spending L10 on this book"– The Burton Mail

- przykładowy tekst:

If you’ve decided you want a Harley-Davidson, then you are unlikely to change your mind. It’s probably the most aspirational bike in the world, and wanting to own one often precludes any more practical considerations. That said, there are some things to think about before going ahead and buying a Big Twin.

First of all, these are big, heavy bikes that need careful manoevring at low speed. They’re not actually that difficult to ride, but smaller people do need to bear in mind their sheer mass when parking. If you think the weight might be too much, look at the Sportster instead, which offers much the same Harley experience in a smaller, lighter package. On all Harleys, the clutch is heavier than on smaller machines, the gear-change slower and more deliberate – they respond to a different riding style to that of the average 600cc supersport.

On the other hand, as 250-300kg bikes go, the Big Twins are relatively easy to manage. They are big and wide, but the seats are very low – little more than 600mm on some Softails, to a maximum of 700mm. And the V-twin is very forgiving, happy to chug along at low speed for as long as you like. Fuel-injected bikes have the most seamless manners of all.

Big V-twins vibrate, there’s no getting away from that, though the rubber mounting system used on all Evo and Twin Cam Harleys (Softails excepted) works very well over 2000rpm, effectively quelling the vibes. You’re left in no doubt that there’s a big engine shuddering away underneath, but it’s all in the background. The Softail does without the rubber mounts, and in 1984-99 Evo form, does deliver serious vibration. The Twin Cam Softail from 2000, with its balance shaft engine, is far better. 

Motorcycling folklore insists that Harleys don’t handle and have terrible brakes. It’s true that the steering is slow, while cornering clearance varies from model to model (most FXRs and some Dynas are best, Softails are worst), but it’s all adequate at normal cruising speeds. Ride a Harley hard on a twisty road, and these deficiencies will start to show up, but the bottom line is that they handle as well as other cruisers. Evo (pre-1999) brakes really aren’t up to the performance, though many bikes will have been upgraded over the years. Twin Cam (1999/2000-on) brakes are fine. 

Harley-Davidsons are not fast – Evos muster only around 52bhp at the rear wheel, and 88/96 Twin Cams about 62bhp, which isn’t much for a 300kg bike. On the other hand, they have plenty of torque, and will effortlessly move around in top gear – that makes them a less stressful bike to ride than one with more power, but which demands more gearchanging. Many Japanese and European bikes encourage you to ride fast, but a Harley does the opposite, which in an increasingly frenetic world is a nice character trait. In standard form, most have a top speed of 95-105mph, though cruising speed is more dictated by the riding position than anything else – a Road Glide will be comfortable at 80-90mph, but hanging on to a Fat Boy with no screen at that speed takes a lot of determination!

If you insist, there are plenty of tuning parts to boost performance, including Harley’s own Screamin’ Eagle brand as well as countless other suppliers. The sky’s the limit: everything from simple stage 1 kits – a more free-flowing exhaust and air filter – to radical big-capacity kits. Whatever the stage of tune, if the bike you’re interested in has it, ask who did the work – a Harley dealer or independent specialist is good news – but really it’s best to steer clear of radically tuned bikes. The Harley V-twin is a strong engine, but given sufficient abuse the crankcases can eventually crack.

Mechanically, these are simple bikes, and quite easy to look after. A few (all of them early Evos) use chain drive, but the vast majority are belt drive. The toothed belt does not need lubing or adjusting between tyre changes – just keep an eye on it for stone damage. Oil and filter changes come up every 5000 miles (Evos need a minor service at 2500) but there are no valve clearances to worry about, thanks to the hydraulic tappets. In standard form, these engines are understressed, so they last well, with 100,000 miles possible before major work is needed. Expect 7-10,000 miles from tyres (or less if you do lots of heavily-laden high speed miles) which is pretty good for a bike this heavy.

The Evo and Twin Cam are far easier to live with than earlier Harleys – more reliable, far less likely to leak oil, and with the vibration tamed in one way or another (Evo Softails apart). Some riders are still turned off by the negative associations of the Harley-Davidson badge, but you don’t have to join a backpatch club, and some riders really do use them as all-year round transport, so they can’t all be dismissed as Sunday-only rides. Either way, you will need to keep on top of the cleaning – these are naked bikes with lots of nooks, crannies and chrome, and they don’t take kindly to cosmetic neglect.

If you really can’t decide whether or not to take the plunge, then try before you buy. Harley dealerships offer a range of test bikes for demo rides, and many will even rent you one for a couple of days. That’s the best way to find out whether you will get along together.
