Nice bike. Red or bronze with chrome is always a great looking combination!

If I may, the pre-2018 Heritages are "heavy" bikes. I would recommend not taking the bike for granted. Seems obvious but I'll throw it out there anyway. Meaning take the extra time; go to an empty parking lot and practice turns and maneuvers. Practice parking. Practice starting out on hills and taking mountains. Really get to know the bike.

The seats are old and generally hard. In a few years, it may be well, worth it to upgrade or have the seats re-done.

As many have said and I'll certainly agree....ALL Heritages are great bikes. Enjoy!

Congrats! My 2 sons ride, as does my son-in-law, daughter in-law and wife too. Went on a Sunday afternoon ride with my two boys and a friend of theirs yesterday. Good times.

There’s not much more joyful than watching someone ride a motorcycle for the first time especially when that motorcycle is their first Harley!!!!!
Dad’s looking forward to many rides with this new Rider!!!!
