My experiences with my 2011 TriGlide.

First of all I am unable to adequately hold up a motorcycle with my left leg as a result of a couple of medical issues. I traded in a 2009 Ultra on the TriGlide. I have about 100,000 miles on motorcycles in my lifetime.



Like anything new it takes some time to get used to this new type of ride.... After 100 or so miles I discovered the "Zen" zone and found that Trikes can be a lot of fun, especially in the twisties. In my opinion The Motor Company hit a home run with this bike. The ride is VERY ultra like. Harley ergonomics are the best in the industry. The cornering is quite nimble, but remember to take into account that the Trike is a lot wider than a Glide. I put a Pingle electric shifter on the bike and after a few problems we got it working amazingly well.

Pros: Ride is comfortable
Rake is well thought out
Tracks really well
Fenders come off easily to change rear tires.
Harley fit and finish
Cheaper to buy than to convert 2 wheels to a trike.

Cons: Gas Milage in the hi 20's - Low 30's
Because it's a trike, front tire wear
Really, Really hot!

Fantastic!

I bought a Triglide in April 2011, trading in a 2009 Ultra. I don't regret it, this bike is everything it's supposed to be. Also, a trike can be really fun on the turns, you just have to have strong arms. I am not physically challenged, I can easily handle a big bike. I just like the Triglide from... the day a came out and wanted one. I don't regret it. Read Full Review

Awesome

I have owned several bikes - hondas and HDs. Imagine setting in your lazy boy then put wheels on it. You just need to have strong arms for the turns. Can't wait to do the tail of the dragon! Read Full Review

Great Ride

This is my first Harley Davidson. My last bike was a Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Fantastic bike. With my injuries and medical condidtion it was tough on me to get on and ride the Star. I had my wife with me looking at bikes and she said we were going to get the trike. Next time and I going bike sh...opping and I am going to leave her at home, Ha Ha. She is a great woman. Well I bought the trike without a test ride. I knew it would be great. The dealer in Duluth, MN gives me great service. If the weather ever gets nice I may get a chance to ride. I love it.

Had it a month.

I just bought my Trike used. I love the ride and stability. The engine is very hot, but I am told that is a Harley for ya. I agree with the gas mileage being in the 20's range. I am having problems with the rear wheels screaching. The dealership blew them out but I still have the problem. Over...all, even though it sounds like I don't like the bike, I am very happy with the Trike. It gives me the comfort level to ride a "big girl" bike with more ease of mind. Read Full Review
