Fantastic experience: This was an awesome experience. Too bad the museum is moving to Las Vegas
Fantastic experience: This place is so cool! Many vintage Harley motorcycles on display. Even a Harley snowmobile (who knew?). Many bikes from 1940's. Must see when in Topeka!
Positive experience: Cool location and history. Small swag shop, no 75th Anniversary T-shirts.
Positive experience: Nice little dealerships. Friendly people. I did not time for the museum.
Fantastic experience: Bought a used Road Glide from Dylan. Would recommend If you are looking for a new motorcycle. He made everthing quick & easy!
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best place to visit in Topeka! The staff is kind and patient. The museum is amazing. Visit it before they move to Vegas.
Fantastic experience: Dillyn got us the best deal! He did everything he could to make the deal happen and he's a great salesman that got us everything we wanted. Went above and beyond what he needed too! We are so happy and excited about our new bike!
Fantastic experience: Stopped in to take an opportunity to visit the Evel Knievel Museum. Touring the museum brought back many memories. The sales staff in the apparel section was very friendly and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Evel keneval museum and this Historic spot will be missed!!
Fantastic experience: Dave Larson... The Dude Thank you
Fantastic experience: Nice place for museum n store. To bad they are closing an moving to Vegas...
Fantastic experience: Great experience today trading my old bike in for an upgrade. No games, no hassle, in & out in an hour!!! Hats off to Bruce, Eli, and Dillyn for a great purchasing experience.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful dealership inside and out. The Evel Knievel Museum is a must see. The staff at the dealership were friendly and knowledgeable!
Fantastic experience: What a great experience getting our first bikes!! I came in earlier in the week and they were so nice and helpful, answering all my questions and then welcomed me back with my husband Saturday to finish our purchase. Dillyn was especially helpful, walking us through every step of the purchase and test drive.
Fantastic experience: Eli and Dillyn did a great job with my trade process! I was in and out in less than two hours and part of that was me just making up my mind! This is my second bike purchased from Historic and I love my new one!
Fantastic experience: Nice people and great work on my bike.
Positive experience: There is a pretty cool small museum
Fantastic experience: I took my MSF course here. Has two amazing instructors Schwartz and Piper. Would recommend anyone to come by to learn how to ride here!
Fantastic experience: This is a nice dealership with a museum of older Harley related items in the downstairs. The staff were friendly and personable.
Fantastic experience: I went to see the Evel Knievel Museum and was pleasantly surprised that the location was a 75 year Harley location with its own free museum. The location is clean and well lit. Staff was friendly. I enjoyed the Topeka history of 75 years or Harley and all the amazing artifacts. It’s a super nice collection. There is also a Evel Knievel Museum attached to the building in Topeka Kansas FYI - I understand it will be moving to Las Vegas soon. Growing up in the 60s and 70s I enjoyed Evel on Wide World of Sports. The jumps were amazing fraught with danger and excitement. Many years ago I was in Las Vegas and visited Caesar’s Palace and the Concierge showed me where the jump was made and gave me a hologram card. Current buildings set where the fountain was. I also visited the Snake River site in the 1980s. The tour through this museum is certainly a time warp. Clean, well lit inside and out. Nice staff. The displays were educational through various mediums. The artifacts bridged several decades and were placed in chronological order. Motor Cycles, Collectibles, Pictures, Film , Clothing Worn, Snake River Collection , Tour Bus - and much more. Fun stuff
Fantastic experience: I took the rider academy class. Will and Jeff were very informative and helpful. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: My Sons took me to the Evel Knievel museum for Father's Day. It was a great experience. Great people.
Positive experience: But pricey but a good place to window shop if you're into motorcycles
Fantastic experience: Update: I did return and found the perfect bike for me. The guys were all very helpful and there was no pressure in buying or suggestions of something different from what I was looking to get. So on the sales side of this place, I had to add a star and give this place one of my very rare 5-star ratings. Schedule a test ride and let these guys set you up for the best ride. Original post: I was presently surprised by the atmosphere and the selection of actual motorcycles and not ATVs, mowers, or watercraft. The prices of the bikes I'm interested in purchasing are set fairly reasonable for today's market. Will return in the future to possibly make a purchase.
Fantastic experience: By far the best service experience I've had at ANY dealership or mechanic's shop! The Service Advisor was friendly and the tech had great attention to detail (I noticed they even fixed a few small things I didn't mention when I dropped the bike off.) Seriously, I'll be back.
Fantastic experience: Come in and check out the gorgeous motorcycles and definitely stop and see the Yesterday's museum. It is great to see the history and how much motorcycles have changed over the years. Hurry in before they move to their new location!
Fantastic experience: Dillyn was absolutely amazing. He made the buying process so simple and quick. Coming from out of state i was nervous we would get down there and the bike not be what I was told, however it was exactly what I was told and more! Definitely would recommend these guys to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Riding academy is awesome I would recommend for any new motorcycle riders or anyone thinking about riding. Also when you buy a bike the salesmen are really helpful and fast and make the process painless.
Fantastic experience: No buyers remorse here. The purchase experience was Professional and Friendly, without a single issue or surprise at the end of it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful historic building. Worth a visit just to see the area
Fantastic experience: i literally cannot be more satisfied with my purchase, 10/10 for the staff and employees who helped me in buying my bike, and 11/10 for the actual product, could not be more happy, thank you historic H-D!!!
Fantastic experience: I had nothing but a great experience with Historic Harley. I filled out an online inquiry and was contacted pretty quickly about my trade. My salesman, Bruce, and Dillyn (finance) were extremely pleasant and user friendly. 10 out of 10 in my books! I’m lovin’ my road glide.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful bikes, really nice people and a great little museum. Interesting history and some really old and rare models.
Fantastic experience: The people there are golden very helpful and polite. The tech was great went out of his way to make sure our scooter was fixed correctly. Overall was just a great visit and will be back even though we have a dealer here in wichita I will still go to Topeka every time Thanks Historic Harley Davidson
Fantastic experience: Staff is always friendly and very helpful. I have trust in them when it comes to taking care of my Ultra and Softail custom, excellent mechanics. The preferred place for me to purchase my Harley and get serviced.
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely time shopping there and service department is wonderful great people. Dillyn the fiance Manger is really good guy worked with me on the new purchase and an awesome guy. Even if you aren't shopping stop on in and say hi and look around.
Fantastic experience: I worked with Eli and Dillyn. I've purchased Harley's all my life and I can confidently say that these guys and their dealership was the best experience I've ever had. No pressure sales tactics like I've witnessed at other dealerships. I highly recommend giving them a look. They made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
Fantastic experience: When I owned a leathers shop, I had a philosophy that “A happy customer tells 3 people. An unhappy customer tells 23 people.” It is obvious that Historic Harley Davidson of Topeka has the same philosophy. They have earned my trust and respect
Fantastic experience: I have been interested in purchasing a 2nd Harley for last several years. I have used the internet, visited out of town Harley-Davidson dealers and of course the Historical Harley-Davidson store in Topeka. Last week some friends and I went in to the Dealership on 21st and Topeka Blvd, to purchase clothing with Historic Harley-Davidson of Topeka emblems. While there I did my usual tour of available bikes for sale. Surprisingly, I found a Road Glide that screamed let's ride. Well the next couple of hours went rather quickly. The knowledgeable men and women answered all my questions concerning all my purchases. That evening I hit the street with my new motorcycle ready to hit the highways as my heart leads. I have always enjoyed my shopping at this local Harley-Davidson dealership. From when they were located just on 6th street, to their current location on 21st street. I am now looking forward to their new facility as they once again look towards providing a new and greater shopping experience for future riding enthusiasts.
Fantastic experience: Eli and Dillyn were great to work with! Easy process and road out within an hour on a new bike!
Fantastic experience: Dillyn made buying a new harley painless and easy. He made sure I was happy with my purchase, walked me through the bikes found one I liked and got me in and out. Definitely will recommend anyone to go in and check them out. Lots of knowledge and great people to work with. Solid choices of bikes as well!!
Fantastic experience: 9:44 AM You sent I just want to say that buying my Triglide from you was a most satisfying experience. Dillyn Sears was easy to work with and everyone was so helpful. I asked for the price out the door and it was provided immediately without all the back and forth game that the other Harley Dealers like to play. Small inexpensive items I needed added were thrown in with the deal and they delivered the Trike way out here in Western Ks where I live. The delivery guy spent quite a while going over the controls and buttons as a lot had changed from my old 2017 Triglide. Thanks so much for all you guys have done and I would highly recommend your dealership to anyone wanting a HD motorcycle
Fantastic experience: The people here are amazing...they are the only dealer that was helpful when I was trying to find a obsolete part(tsm) for my 09 superglide... They went above and beyond to get me information and part
Fantastic experience: Always have had great chstomer service and amazing dealership
Fantastic experience: Passing through visit. Liked the folks, atmosphere and products available. Talked with the service folks for some information, have not had a service done there yet. I will not doubt down the road.
Fantastic experience: Great Service. Kept me up to date on everything. Thank You!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at this dealership is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I walked in just to browse and go through the museum and walked out having purchased my first Harley Davidson. 10/10 recommend these guys!!
Fantastic experience: Attached to the Evel Knievel museum. A must visit for sure.
Fantastic experience: Attached to evel knievel museum.
Fantastic experience: Great place to buy a bike. I had a nice and easy fun experience.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience buying my new (ish) motorcycle, Bruce and Dillyn were super nice to work with!
Fantastic experience: Great service experience on my 2009 Street Glide. Special thanks to Gabriel, Jake, Don, Kayla, and Rick for getting me back on the road again. Highly recommend this dealership for sales, service, parts, and all other Harley needs.
Fantastic experience: Awesome Dealership very nice indeed, great selection, service, nice museum too. I was the Marketing Director of TCHD in Stuart the Pirate Ship ⚓ Also MC sales. Love the No pressured Sales Approach at this dealership. Be sure and Check out the E. K. Museum
Fantastic experience: I was riding my 2022 Pan America from North Carolina to Vegas and back. On my way home going over Denver I got a check engine light and error code. I rode for another hundred miles or so without any issues but the light and error code were still there. I called the closest Harley to my hotel for that night and was told That Danny was the Pan-American technician and to bring my bike in, to talk to him. When I got there, Danny took care of everything, he was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. The whole staff was very courteous and kind. I wish I had more time to hang out and have lunch at their in-house restaurant or explore the Harley village more but I had 600 miles to ride that day. I will definitely be back to Putz around at some point.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and easy going. No pressure to buy anything. Would buy from them again.
Fantastic experience: Bought a new used trike from Eli and Dillyn. Took real good care of me. Paper work in out no hassles. Just a great all around experience.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service, products, and motorcycles. Ask for Dillyn Sears. Answered all my questions and has great knowledge of the products and services.
Fantastic experience: I had a breakdown on my way home to Pittsburgh and they where able to get me back on the road fast. Everyone there was very nice and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Cudos to Kayla and Jake my tech. Dropped off my Street Glide for an oil change and an air ride diagnostic/repair. Not only was I not billed for my air ride repair (told it only took 3 minutes), but my tech not only arranged the birds nest wires under my seat (I installed led lighting kit), he also properly mounted the panel atop my battery that I could never get right (sure many of you bagger riders can relate). Thank you so much Historic Harley. In closing I must share this. At my previous hometown HD dealer where for over 20 years I had purchased several bikes I never received the outstanding service I have experienced with Kayla here at Historic HD.
Positive experience: Cool bikes. Large selection. I wasn't dressed to impress and got a few looks I'd rather not have gotten.
Fantastic experience: The guys at historic Harley are greatest. Stayed late to fix my bike on the way to Sturgis. Took almost 2 hours to fix my bike and told me to have a great day and no charge I highly recommend this dealership
Fantastic experience: Great to deal with, went in for lunch and left with a bike. Not pushing, ask the right questions, lead me around new and used inventory and back to the first bike I looked at. Dillyn Sears is the best, thanks for the help and easy process.
Fantastic experience: Really cool museum. Awesome employees as well
Negative experience: Took ten months to get a GAP refund. Brooke promised me several times that it was on the way. Five months of waiting, I called to find that she was gone and replaced by Dylan. He promised it would be done in a week. Despite calling every two weeks, it still took another five months because Dylan kept forgetting about it. When the check finally arrived, it was half what Brooke quoted. I asked Dylan to check into it, but he again forgot and just mailed the check to me. Between them and the sales manager, Eli, I'm glad I don't live in Topeka anymore. The museum and merchandise department add the extra star, other than that, forget it.
We’re sorry about the delay in refund Dave. It’s never ideal when there is a role change within the department. Rest assured, we have great people on staff and if you would, please give us a call tomorrow when we reopen. we’d love the opportunity to credit you the difference, if given the chance. 
Fantastic experience: Always a good stop at a Harley store. This one has some cool historical things and evil kinevil stuff
Fantastic experience: Wow, glad i’ll Followed the way and stairs from The museum down to the shop! Stunning and amazing stuff what this guys are working on!
Fantastic experience: Low to no pressure sales approach, I was able to browse and ask questions with knowledgeable people. I was in and out of there with a new bike within an hour and a half.
Fantastic experience: Had a radiator issue on my 2021 UL, mad an appointment. Bike was fix in timely manner. Great customer service, friendly staff. They always remember my name. This is my 3rd bike from Historic Harley Davidson, I'm sure it won't be last from as well. Thanks Historic Harley Davidson!!!
Fantastic experience: Great dealership to purchase a new bike or have service performed. The sales people are friendly and helpful. The service dept and parts dept is very helpful and very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful museum. Very well detailed and documented. Well worth the visit !!
Fantastic experience: Had a great first experience with Historic HD. Bruce and Dillyn took good care of me. I will definitely be going back for future purchases before going elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: I have bought six Harleys from Historic Harley Davidson since 2009. They have the best deals and service after the sale.
Fantastic experience: Shopping at this dealership was a very pleasant experience. They had exactly the model of Nightster I wanted and I felt like they valued my business and didn’t waste my time or play any games.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy my visits. The initial purchase, service after the sale, and overall attitude is excellent.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, communication and professionalism! Each member of the staff treats you with respect and kindness.
Positive experience: The Evel Knievel exhibit is very interesting; the Mack truck is amazing. There are many videos showing his successful and not successful jumps. You'll see motorcycles, outfits, helmets, etc.
Fantastic experience: Dillyn sears sold me my bike. I would recommend anyone to go speak to him down at historical Harley Davidson if your looking for a bike. He didn’t waste my time didn’t try pushing any bikes on me real friendly. Eli held the dealership open hr late for me, made sure I was completely taken care of. I dont believe I would have gotten a better service anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: These people know how to treat a customer from out of town, they took my trike right in and fixed it and had me on my way in no time.
Negative experience: We drove from Texas to Minnesota and went out of our way to get to this store $20 in toll fees. We wanted a shirt and he found one and the lady said they weren't for sale yet because they weren't in inventory yet. Then she started to play with her phone. We walked around the museum and looked at all the bikes and came back. She was still playing on her phone and the shirts were still on the counter behind her. We were the only clothing customers the whole time we were there.
I’m so sorry that we weren’t able to provide you with the experience you deserved. We dropped the ball. I’m sorry Christie. Please accept our apology. If you would please reach out today at 785-234-6174. I’d like to make it up to you. We hope to get another chance to take care of you in the future! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They worked hard to find a deal that would work with my budget.
Fantastic experience: Went in to get some touch up paint and a tune in my bike, everyone was super friendly. Great advice on air cleaner selection upgrade.
Fantastic experience: Not a HD owner, but large dealership, service floor. A small vintage bike museum and nice apparel/gift store.
Fantastic experience: I recently tried to buy my first Harley from a different dealer. It was a terrible experience and I ended up walking away from that bike. I went here to see if they could order what I wanted and the experience was the complete opposite. No high pressure tactics, upfront pricing, and fair prices. I will never buy a Harley from any other dealer again. Thank you Historic Harley -Davidson
Positive experience: It's a great place to visit a lot of history in a Lil space appreciate the authenticity no replicas a lot of great stuff paid extra for the jump it wasn't bad wish it had been first person but was worth the extra $5
Fantastic experience: Awesome exhibit. Friendly and welcoming staff.
Fantastic experience: Love the concept of the museum and repair shop, plus you can also buy Harley clothes and merchandise..
Fantastic experience: What a wonderful walk through bikes of old and new!
Negative experience: The museum was great, as was the store, however the girl working the register in the clothes shop today was rude and all but refused to help. So I didn't make my purchases. Another employee noticed and said I should comment on here because it's an ongoing thing and management just lets her treat people like that
Gina, We're so happy you were able to enjoy our museum and dealership; however, I truly apologize for your less than perfect experience with one of our employees. Please know that it has been addressed. We pride ourselves in providing a wonderful experience for our customers and look forward to seeing you in the near future. Thanks Gina!
Positive experience: Get in there before the Evel Knievel exhibit moves to Vegas! Information, collection of memorabilia, and lay-out kept me there for hours. The virtual reality jump was overhyped though: automatic and short-lived.
Positive experience: Museum under a Harleu dealership...Interesting enough. Not super expensive and a quick side trip for a little history of both Harley and Evil Knieval
Fantastic experience: The best group of people at a dealership I have ever met. I knew what bike I wanted, they never tried to pressure me into a higher sale. Had a hiccup with the bike when almost home. They came and picked it up within an hour or two, took it back fixed it and returned it the next day. Historic Harley-Davidson took care of me like family. I will never go to any other dealership.
Fantastic experience: Learned a lot and saw some old photos I remember growing up. Was great experience.
Fantastic experience: Counter help lady very helpful. Went in to spent a won $500 gift card.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend checking out the Evel Knievel museum! Don’t miss the vintage Near the service department.
Negative experience: We went April 16, 2022 to purchase a jacket and ask a few questions. Within minutes of being there was totally disrespected. I told a few of my friends that love this place what happened. Apparently you need to be careful of which staff you ask for help. The only person anyone agreed on was some parts guys. Hope you have a better experience.
Hi Frank, I’m sorry to see you had a poor experience. We’re honestly not sure which department you were visiting but please reach out to us so that we can correct it. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Went for the museum and ended up shopping. Very friendly staff and great selection.
Fantastic experience: Nice place to look at bikes and eat lunch at the same time. The BBQ was great to eat
