Harley-Davidson Softail description

I purchased this amazing motorcycle from Docs in mid April of this year.  I drove the Breakout, the Road King, the softail bagger this bike did something during the ride that didn't happen with the other bikes.  It was like the perfect fit.  To my disappointment, work and family schedules have made it impossible to get it out of the garage.  It is showroom perfect in every way. 

2016 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe

There aren't that many things left in this world that make a hard-working man or woman feel truly deluxe. This motorcycle is one of them. Roll into town and you can feel the eyes on the chrome and laced wheels, wrapped in whitewall tires. The full-skirted metal fenders. The big chromed headlamp and nacelle. The rich power of the new High Output Twin Cam 103B™ engine. The way living ought to feel is just a twist of the throttle away.

Iconic Engine

The air-cooled 45° V-Twin engine at the heart of every Softail model is a prime example of what makes a Harley-Davidson motorcycle more satisfying than anything else. Its clean, uncluttered shape fits perfectly in the downtubes of the frame. Twist the throttle and the surge of torque hits you exactly where it counts. The knowledge of what makes an engine truly move a rider runs deep at The Motor Company, and it's been put to particular good use to power the Softail family. We counterbalance the engine, which means we can bolt it directly to the frame. It keeps the styling tight at the center of the bike. It lets the rider feel the pulse of the V-Twin. Yet there aren't any vibrations rattling the fillings out of your teeth. What's good gets even better for 2016. The Softail family gets a power upgrade to the new High Output Twin Cam 103B™ engine. More power is always a Harley-Davidson tradition.

Technology

The beauty of the technology on a Softail motorcycle is that it never looks technological. That didn't happen by accident and it doesn't come easy, particularly when you consider that the inspiration for the family is the clean, wide-open lines of a vintage hardtail. Clutter it up with too many high tech doo-dads and you have a different machine entirely. Take a look at the anti-lock brakes now standard on many Softail models and available across the line. ABS gives you the control you want on a modern motorcycle. But our teams of industrial designers and engineers weren't finished until the whole system had a streamlined design. The same goes for the clean look to the handlebars, thanks to a new electronic throttle system on every Softail model. With each passing year, adding a little technology to the ride looks better and better.

Authentic Styling

Get an eyeful of a Softail motorcycle and you see more than some weepy-eyed exercise in nostalgia. You're looking at the kind of style that has the power to defy time. Honest. Uncluttered. Unaffected by the fad of the moment. There's a good reason for this. We've used our long decades on the road, riding, wrenching, talking to other custom bike fanatics, to discover what works. Then we stick with it, and use it to push the boundaries of motorcycle design ever further. Take a look at the horseshoe oil tank adorning our Softail models. It's the same one you'd see on a restored dresser from the '50s, or a radical Panhead chopper from the '70s. And you'll find it right now on future Harley-Davidson models that still on the drawing board. Other companies may be content to imitate bits and pieces from our long history. On a Softail motorcycle every part down to the axle nut cover comes from an authentic tradition. With a genuine reason for looking the way it looks.

Handling

If you've never experienced a Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycle, it's time to find out what you've been missing. The venerable Softail frame has logged untold millions of miles, and we've put every one of them to good use. The result: one of the most fun rides in all of motorcycling. We've spent the years making the frame stiffer, the geometry more balanced and the braking more precise. The dazzling wheels are wrapped in premium Dunlop rubber. The low seats give you a confident feeling of being a part of the motorcycle. Get out on a rolling stretch of backcountry highway and it all comes together. The crisp and responsive ride. The killer looks. As long as we build motorcycles like this having a good time will never go out of style.

Comfort 

The authentic look of a Softail motorcycle comes from the days before anyone knew much about building a suspension. The rigid hardtail frames of yesteryear had a pure, uncluttered look that riders still love. But the bone-rattling ride meant your grandpa needed to strap on a kidney belt to keep his internals intact. The Softail family uses modern technology to consign the kidney belt to the museum. We've kept all the modern comforts where they belong--below the surface of a rad bike loaded with authentic style. You get the classic lines of a vintage "hardtail" frame with the horizontal rear shocks hidden in the guts. It's a signature rigid look, and you'll only find it on a Softail model.

Best of luck in your search for the right bike - if this is it reach out and lets make the deal happen.  Please don't approach me with ridiculous offers.  It won't happen.  I do not need any help what-so-ever selling this bike, so don't ask.

--Thanks
