Heritage Classic looks, handles and sounds amazing straight from the factory, but where's the fun in leaving well enough alone. If you're going to be on the road a while, add a premium touring bag and premium backrests for rider and passenger. Heritage Classic has hard sided bags that are roomy, lockable and water-resistant. Whether you're going for a short ride around the Dallas area or a long ride across the nation, you've got room for whatever you need to carry. Heritage Classic still has a retro 70's look to it, and that's one of the things Dallas riders love. It's especially preferred by taller riders. It's the cruising bike of the Softail family. Heritage Classic has a great sound, and it's an extremely smooth feeling bike. Obviously, they're not as big and robust and they don't have the storage of a touring bike, but they can be a great middle ground for riders who want to both long-haul comfort and short trip agility. It's also lighter, so there's better gas mileage and acceleration. For many it feels more nimble and sporty than a true touring bike. It's no longer a nod to 50s chrome nostalgia, but it maintains a laid back look overall that goes back to its rock-and-roll roots.Ī lot of Dallas riders use Softail® Heritage Classic for touring and say the bike is very comfortable for the long haul. Harley® says the redesigned Heritage Classic comes "from the shady side of the family tree." With its blacked-out lights, fork, motor and windscreen it definitely has a sinister vibe. When you're touring, the windscreen improves comfort and reduces fatigue, but it detaches in seconds for a more streamlined look. Signature LED forward lighting improves night time visibility. Plus, the Showa Dual Bending Valve fork makes for an unbelievably smooth ride.
You have the option of buying a 114 from the factory or the regular 107. Heritage Classic also got the Milwaukee-Eight Engine in 2018. Now it has a mono-shock underneath the seat and the entire frame is lighter and stiffer. Before the bike had two shocks horizontally mounted beneath the frame. The bike got a brand new frame chassis, redesigned from the ground up. That being said, Harley® made some major upgrades to the Softail platforms in 2018. There's no change just for the sake of change. Harley® started with a bike designed and built like it should be. However, the basic concept and style haven't changed much. Over the years as technology has improved, Harley® upgraded Heritage Classic with belts instead of chains, fatter tires, the smooth-running Twin Cam and other components. The family has gotten bigger, but Heritage Classic stays just as popular as it was in the beginning. Since then, the Softail® has remained an integral part of Harley-Davidson's® family of models. The bikes looked like the rigid-based choppers of the 70's, but without the painful ride. We covered the history in Your Ultimate Guide to the Harley-Davidson® Softail. Harley produced the FXST Softail® in 1984 and it was an instant success.
All Harley® riders get pretty attached to their bikes, but Heritage Classic seems to inspire a special kind of enthusiasm. There's just something about the Softail® family that turns riders into committed devotees. HERE'S WHY SOFTAIL HERITAGE CLASSIC IS ONE OF THE BEST
