Harley-davidson Tri Glide

The Harley-davidson Tri Glide has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated; electronically limited), produces 93 hp and weighs 613 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.

De Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra werd in 2009 geïntroduceerd als de eerste in de fabriek gebouwde driewielige toermotorfiets van het merk, gebouwd op het Electra Glide-platform met een achteruitversnelling en twee achterwielen. Het is ontworpen om oudere rijders aan te spreken die op zoek zijn naar stabiliteit zonder de volledige tourervaring op te offeren, met een grote kofferbak en passagiersruimte. In de loop der jaren is hij geüpdatet met de Milwaukee-Eight-motor (2017+), een verbeterd chassis en moderne infotainmentsystemen, waarmee hij zijn plaats als paradepaardje van Harley's toptrike tourer heeft verstevigd.

Wat kopers moeten weten

🔧

Milwaukee-Eight Engine Reliability

Models from 2019+ with the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine are widely considered more reliable than earlier Twin Cam versions, with improved oil cooling and reduced vibration. Watch for oil leaks and lifter issues on pre-2017 models.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The Tri Glide holds its value exceptionally well compared to most motorcycles, often retaining 70-80% of its value after three years. Low mileage units with added accessories command premium prices on the used market.

🧳

Massive Standard Storage

The Tri Glide comes standard with a locking trunk and two saddlebags offering nearly 4.6 cubic feet of combined storage, making it one of the most practical touring trikes available. The trunk can also be optionally upgraded with a passenger backrest.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers

7.8/10
Het beste voor
Long-distance tourers wanting effortless two-up capability

"Serious mile-eater for riders done pretending balance is fun."

$18,000-$32,000 used

The Tri Glide is Harley's answer to riders who want serious touring capability without the balance anxiety. Used examples from 2014 onwards are generally solid, but check the Milwaukee-Eight upgrade happened in 2017 — those earlier Twin Cam units can develop compensator issues and primary chain slap that'll cost you. The reverse gear is genuinely useful, not a gimmick, especially on inclines. Suspension setup is better than you'd expect, though the stock rear shocks go soft early on high-mileage examples. Buying used, always check the rear differential for leaks and listen for clunking under load — it's a known weak point that dealers conveniently forget to mention. Infotainment on pre-2014 models feels prehistoric now. The 2017-plus bikes with the Milwaukee-Eight 107 hit a sweet spot of refinement and reliability. Storage is genuinely class-leading, and two-up comfort over distance is outstanding. Just budget for tires — three of them isn't cheap.
