Which Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle is Right for Me?

Step onto a Harley-Davidson dealership lot and you'll see row upon row of motorcycles. This endless array of options is exciting, but it can also be a bit daunting. How do you know which one is best for you? A great place to start is narrowing your search to a given Harley family. Each category is geared towards a unique riding style and offers tailored features. We discuss the different families below. When you are ready to look at models, visit Texas Harley. We proudly serve those in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.

Harley Street® Family

Other manufacturers toss around the term "street bike" to describe a motorcycle that is ridden on a city road, rather than the backwoods. But when it comes to Harley motorcycles, street means a little something more.

The Harley Street family isn't your catch-all term for road bikes. They are machines optimized for tearing up the highway and leaving cars in their dust. They can be handled by a newbie but they also offer enough power to draw in a seasoned pro. They offer dark custom looks, so you'll be able to turn heads as you go. Their slim and light chassis combined with their optional High Output Revolution X V-Twin combine for a heck of a ride.

Harley Softail® Family

When people picture a classic American motorcycle, it tends to look like a Harley Softail motorcycle. They are the vehicles often found in iconic pop culture media. The leaned back riding posture gives off an unmistakable attitude. The lower ground clearance gets you close to the road, which makes for a unique ride. Enjoy the rumble of an air-cooled engine roar as you cruise down the streets.

Harley Touring Family

Some riders prefer to embark on long-distance rides. Sometimes, people commute to work on a motorcycle. Other times, people use their motorcycle to travel to new cities. Whatever the scenario, a Harley touring bike is the way to go.

These motorcycles are built with comfort as a priority. Enjoy an ergonomically designed riding frame with padded seats. You can ride for hours on end without getting sore. Bring along everything you need with a large amount of cargo space. High windshields help block out water, spray from other motorists, bugs, and more. It also blocks wind, which reduces wind fatigue so you can stay on the road longer. The touring motorcycles run off of some of the most powerful engines, which help get you to your destination without issue.

Harley Sportster® Family

When you want high performance, you want a Harley Sportster bike. These deliver the adrenaline rushes that speed junkies crave. Enjoy top speeds, unparalleled braking power, and responsive handling. You'll need to sacrifice ride comfort and fuel efficiency. But one high speed ride down the highway and we're willing to bet you won't care at all. These are designed to be high performing beasts of a machine.
