2005 harley-davidson reviews

I actually own a Beautiful Custom Fatboy myself and this review is regarding my wife's bike. I have ridden this bike many times. In comparison to the many motorcycles and my bike included I have to say that this deluxe can't even be compared to any bike that I have ridden at all. It is by far the most comfortable and smooth easy handling and powerful bike that I have ever been on. It's Black Cherry Pearl color just shows this bike off even more, making it an eye catcher everywhere we've been. If it weren't for the amount of money I have invested into my custom Fatboy and the show look on her, I would most definitely keep the Deluxe and sell the Fatboy. But we don't need 2 bikes and will venture towards the next new Toy in our lives. Show less

In my opinion this bike would be a perfect fit for someone's first Harley. Looks good and runs great. Brand new fuel system and fuel gauge. Engine has great torque according to the tech from HD. Garage kept and covered. Most of the factory parts have been replaced along with additional chrome added. Show less

I've never had a Harley before - this is my first one. First impressions are: 1. Smoother than I had imagined. 2. WAY more character than I thought it could have. 3. Good suspension over bumps. 4. Very pleasant riding experience. One con is a lack of power. While it has good torque off the line, it doesn't pull particularly hard. This would make for a great first Harley for someone. I'm an experienced rider and have ridden sports bikes over the years so maybe got used to that power. But I honestly don't miss not having neck-snapping acceleration. This bike is about cruising in comfort and style and character. I really like it. Show less

I've ridden this Sportster for about 6 years now and it handles and performs beautifully. Whether you you want to cruise along at a steady pace or blast down the freeway like a sport-bike this motorcycle is happy either way. Although this bike has a double seat and rear foot-pegs the passenger comfort is fairly minimal. The exhaust note has a deep healthy sound that I love. The saddlebag capacity is fairly small, but there's room for some essentials. I recently bought a used Harley Trike, if there was room in my garage I would be keeping this Sporty. Show less

This is the best place to buy a motorcycle, Honest,fair price and they service what they sell. I purchased two bikes and would buy another one when I am ready for it. Best place to buy a Harley Davidson, They are great for service if you need it and at a fair price. If you need tires, batteries, or custom work. Thanks Show less

He keeps it in Immaculate condition and it's faster than all the other Harley Davidson Also he doesn't ride fast with me on it with him and I think he got 22,000 miles on it The Harley Davidson is in perfect condition Cover up the miles you could sell it as a Brand new Harley Davidson Show less

Seems these guys don’t know anything about the bikes there selling I called and ask how many owners the bike has and they can’t answer that simple question so I asked for a manager then they hung up on me Show less

The is an awesome motorcycle- owned it for 17 years and the performance and ride on this bike is outstanding!! Not to mention the handling of it, it’s a get up and go motor without compromising the size of the bike or motor - this bike looks and sounds incredible - I’ve added a Stage 2 motor kit to give you that extra power and Vance Show less

IV owned several Harleys over the years.After having a hip replacement I had a harder time with my 1997 Ultra Classic.So I sold it and got a 1998 fat boy,great bike lots of crime.After having it a couple years I sold it. Missing my love of riding I was out and about and came across a 2005 Soft Tail Deuse.Right away I knew it was calling me to taking her home.Iv had my 2005 with the much better EFI and have enjoyed my Deuse to this day I changed the stock seat to a custom seat that fits the styling if the bike slim sleek front end that has that nice flow toward the plump rear Its a very comfortable bike since I lowered it just enough to allow the rear fender swallow the gap that the stock setup had.The only complaint is I wish Harley had made provisions to allow to be able to add quick disconnects for bags.But a set of throw overs work well with my custom seat.And it would not hurt to be able to add a quick disconnect windshield.But I managed to fit a set on the front forks.Other than that my 2005 Deuse is a fantastic bike for the money.Mine only has just over 10400 miles.It worth checking the chain tensioners from time to time being a twin cam.Iv removed my cam cover at the 10k mark and the chain tensioners were still in good shape.But me being me I did upgraded my cam chest with hydrologic chain tensioners and a high flow oil pump.I only did the upgrade just because I felt it would be and is a bit better than the stock setup.I know if I took a 5 or 6 hour ride I'm more than comfendent that she is a no worry and dependable bike to take me on any journey without any issues.Other that those couple of upgrades and installing a new set of tires for safety I love to get on my Deuce and fill up the gas tank and enjoy my journey knowing my Deuse will get me there.Simply keep up with the maintenance and it's a trouble free bike as far as I'm concerned.Its a shame Harley discontinued the Deuse model in 2007.They had a winner from 2000 till 2007.Peace to all.Ride till you fill your to old.
