Background

Harley Davidson created the Heritage Classic Softail in 2007 to bring classic Harley styling into the modern era without all the annoying leaks, difficult startup, and poor handling. Designed to mimic the appearance of hard tailed motorcycles of old, these models actually contain horizontal twin rear shock absorbers beneath the engine to dramatically improve ride quality. The beating heart of this bike is a 1,584cc 96 cu in air-cooled, 45-degree, pushrod V-twin engine. The engineers at Harley took a look at every piece of the engine and either improved or modified it, and the sum of those tweaks meant that this engine was like no other when it initially launched, and generally every power figure was improved upon.

Exterior

This Heritage Classic is finished in a stunning, three-tone black, white, and red paintjob. Appraisers described the paint on this bike as being “near-immaculate” and we can see why. Flaws in the paint are virtually non-existent. The front fairing and gas tank are perfectly smooth and show no dents or dings. The rear fairing is well protected, surrounded by three gorgeous studded black leather saddlebags. That’s not where the studding stops either, as both the main seat and passenger seat also feature the same studded black leather for a uniform look throughout the entire bike. All of the chrome, and there is quite a lot, is straight and without any wrinkles. The speedometer is clean and the only parts on this bike that could use some polishing appear to be the chrome ignition switch beneath the single gauge, and the trim on one of the fairings is reported to have some slight oxidation to it.

Mechanical

We are pleased to report that the mechanical bits appear to be just as clean as the cosmetic ones. White wall tires are clean with a good to modest amount of tread left, and the chrome plated spoke wheels are in excellent shape, as is the single disc brake up front. The chrome plated V-twin engine reflects a clearer picture than a mirror, and the massive dual exhausts follow that trend just as well. The Harley-Davidson floorboards look almost as if they’ve never been steeped on though that’s obviously not the case.

History

This Harley was purchased by the seller’s father brand-new in 2007. Thanks to a scare while unloading the bike in the driveway, it was decided that the bike would be better off maintained and stored in one place, as opposed to being regularly ridden. This explains the excellent condition and practically nonexistent mileage. The Harley has been regularly serviced the entire time, but seldom ridden.

Summary

This Harley is in unbelievably good shape. This bike has barely been ridden over the last 15 years and it is blatantly obvious. The paint is in immaculate shape and so are all the mechanical pieces underneath. It is clear that the seller took great care in preserving this bike. This Heritage Classic has everything, stunning paint, a fantastic engine, timeless Harley performance and sound, and saddlebags perfect for road trips of any distance. If you want to get away from it all in style, this is the bike to do it with.
