Short answer, the more you ride it, the better you like it.


Only 2200 miles on mine so far and feel as if it is one of the best bikes I have ever had.

I am not a Harley guy, even though I’ve owned a few. Most of my bikes have been BMW, Ducati and KTM.

I’ve had my Heritage 114 a little over a month and I use it to commute most days.

This is a good bike. Not just a good Harley. Puts a smile on my face every day.

I’m now a Harley guy.

Another full cycle supporter. Also went from a few bigger touring HDs back down to softails. The post above is correct. The new Heritage is not just a good Harley, it's a good bike. Meaning that its not just good when compared with its predecessor or other Harleys. It's good when compared across breeds and to some extent across platform. Also the above post that says it just gets better and better the more your ride. Too True. YOU WILL LOVE IT. Another hard day for me and Olive. Phew! We don't know how we hold it all together some days

Put gas in it. Ride and enjoy. Repeat as needed. Regular services and the bike will take care of the rest. Congrats.

I used to ride an 07 Street Glide that was pretty modified. 96k miles when I traded it for the Heritage Anniversary 114. I love this damned thing. It's so damned fun to ride.
