The journey of a Harley-Davidson Originals motorcycle
POSTED: 29/03/2022
Original by nature...
Our Harley-Davidson® Originals are just getting warmed up. Although their story has already begun with a previous rider, the next chapter is yours for the taking!
We understand that even with a previously cherished Harley-Davidson® motorcycle, the expectations in terms of quality and performance are sky-high, so we ensure that every Original has been rigorously checked and certified to earn the Originals mark.
Scroll down to follow the journey of an Original, from rider to showroom...
At the core of every Harley-Davidson® Original, there's a story. Its story is written with rider adrenaline... from the ride-outs it has joined to how many heads it has turned riding down the street, amongst everything else.
The bike featured in the Originals journey below began with a 2015 FXDBC Street Bob LTD. The owner was part of a biker group that regularly met up for social gatherings. Keeping things real with no B.S., his Dyna chassis has no-nonsense, stripped-down Bobber styling and has been enhanced with Vance & Hines Shortshots and a Screamin' Eagle oval air cleaner - giving his bike that awesome boomy Harley® sound and feel. This bike takes part of its previous owner with it and its flame will continue to burn with its next owner.
The journey
It all starts with one Harley-Davidson® rider looking for their next chapter and their next adventure. Following an initial enquiry, customers will have a conversation with one of our sales advisors, to talk them through all the features of their Harley® that they are looking to sell to us. We love to know a bit about the history of the bike too - so we can share some of its history with future owners - what adventures have you had on your Harley®?!
Our appraisal is a quick and efficient way to record the condition of any vehicle. Taking lots into consideration such as history, rarity, market trends, mileage and space in the showroom! Following this appraisal we will let you know if your bike meets our criteria to purchase it from you.
After a successful appraisal has been completed, we take the bike into our workshop where one of our Harley-Davidson® mechanical experts can get their hands on it to give it a full and indepth review - continuing to take great care when handling the vehicle.
As part of the bike review, our engineers will look into the Harley-Davidson® Original from almost every angle, 120 angles to be precise. This can include but is not limited to, indicators, bearings, drive belts and tyre tread. Ticking off their checks as they go and recording any damage that may need repairing before bringing it back to sale.
Once the Harley® Original has been given the all-clear from our workshop grease monkies, it heads over to our cleaning station where it will undergo some TLC. Using the appropriate polish and cleaning materials, the bike is thoroughly cleaned from head to tail. It's almost ready...
Once the Original is gleaming, one of our awesome team members will take it to the showroom where it will find its temporary new home, ready to be priced up and labelled with all of its key features and enhancements.
Due to the high quialty of Harley-Davidson® Originals motorcycles, it will not take long before an Original's new owner takes it home to continue its journey.
Don't forget...
Whenever you purchase a Harley® Original from us, you'll receive a 12-month warranty, verified mileage check, HPI check, 12 months roadside assistance and H.O.G membership. You will ride away with complete peace of mind.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.
Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.
Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policiy and regulatory complaints.
