Why Buy a Trike Motorcycle?

A Harley-Davidson® trike is unlike any motorcycle you've ever seen. It starts with the extra wheel, which affects everything from the bike’s aesthetic to its performance. Whether you are new to the motorcycle lifestyle or an old pro, a trike motorcycle could be the perfect fit for you. Below we cover the reasons to pick a trike. If you have any questions to want to look at Harley trikes for sale, head over to Green Mount Road Harley-Davidson. Our dealership is located in O'Fallon, Illinois. We also proudly serve those in St. Louis, MO, and Belleville, IL.

Impressive Rider Comfort

A Harley trike is designed for long-distance riding, which means rider comfort is a priority. After all, no one wants to cut their ride short due to aching muscles and joints begging for breaks. Trikes are created to be easy on the body in order to promote enjoyable, comfortable endurance trips. These models don't require the same physical exertion to control and steer like two-wheeled motorcycles do.

Trike motorcycles also use a more natural riding position. The wider frame and comfortable seating make it easier on your body to ride for extended periods of time. This is especially helpful for riders who suffer from back or joint pain.

Increased Safety

The extra wheel on a trike motorcycle allows it to be much more stable. It's almost impossible to tip over a trike, which makes it easier to safely navigate winding roads or windy days. Enjoy a stable, safe ride when you cruise around town on a Harley trike.

Another safety benefit of a trike is their size. These motorcycles are much larger than their two-wheel counterparts. A large vehicle is easier for other motorists to see, which makes it less likely that another vehicle will swerve into your lane not seeing you. After all, there are plenty of distracted drivers on the road. They might be texting while driving, driving drowsy, and so on. Anything you can do to increase your visibility helps to keep you safer on the road.

More Storage Space

Trike motorcycles come with larger frames, which means more storage capacity. This is especially helpful when you embark on longer rides. You'll need somewhere to store all of your cargo, such as your clothing, food, toiletries, medications, and other items needed for comfortable overnight trips. 

Room for a Passenger

Many trikes are able to comfortably fit a passenger. The seat can be designed to accommodate two riders without either of you feeling squished and cramped. The inner workings of the trike are designed to handle the weight of two passengers without it negatively affecting the motorcycle's performance. 

The Ideal Trike Owner

Anyone can enjoy a Harley trike, but it's especially beneficial for those wanting to go on endurance rides. Maybe you want a more thrilling way to commute to work. Maybe you want to go on road trips to explore the country. Either way, you will love the comfortable seating and extra storage space found on Harley trikes!
