Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson Riding Academy

Negative experience: WARNING: PREDATORY TRADE-IN PRACTICES I came in looking to trade my 2023 BMW R1250 GS Adventure—fully loaded with the premium package, MSRP of $25,000 two years ago, not to mention several thousand dollars in upgrades: aluminum panniers, lights, accessories, the works. I expected to take a bit of a bath on it for the sake of convenience, but their trade-in offer absolutely floored me: $12k—and they actually subtracted $200 for an “auction fee.” The kicker? I still owe $13k on the bike. So after lowballing me, they wanted me to pay them $1,000 to “make the deal work.” Let that sink in: they literally expected me to pay them to take a bike off my hands that is objectively worth thousands more. I was hesitant to post this review at first—I thought maybe it was a misunderstanding. But no. There’s no way this wasn’t deliberate. My dad always wanted a Harley before he passed and his brother, my uncle, rode multiple for years in his memory. There’s real sentimental value here. I walked into that dealership ready to buy a Harley on the spot. Once again, Harley builds bikes people want—but it’s their dealership network that ruins it. It’s the number one reason I will never own a Harley.

Fantastic experience: Micheal and the team are excellent, I couldn't give them more stars or express how happy I was to take the msf course through them. As instructors, they exceeded my expectations for the class. I only have two small complaints about the course, and in no way does this reflect the instructors. The motorcycles used are a bit heavy. I was under the impression it would be a different bike(based on the videos, it should have been a 350. Instead, they had 500) . But again, this isn't a huge harley. It's just a little bigger for beginners. My second and more serious complaint is what's up with the online course? If you fail even by 2 percent, meaning i got 78 out of 80 percent and now have been waiting to retake it, which is causing a hold on me getting my m1 and moving on from this. At a price of 400, I don't think this is something students should have to deal with. Also, my 5 stars are solely based on how good the instructors are and how informative the riding portion of the class is.

Fantastic experience: Great and exciting place to become a rider for the first time and begin your riding experience, I will never forget where I first started and the people who got me to be where I’m at recommend to anyone who wants to first start riding.

Fantastic experience: Love this place and the people who keep it running always welcoming smiles and down to earth help always a pleasure to visit

Fantastic experience: First and Foremost I wanted To say Thank You to Micheal & Jeff for A Strong Structured class I attended @ Harley Dav. Even though I wasn’t skilled and didn’t know how to ride to pass I still learned alot from these Men . I am giveing them 5 stars for all they do to support New riders to learn to ride safe .. I also want to Thank Micheal’s Wife for having All the refreshments and Lunch for us . I am Forever Grateful ..

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Parts desk was very helpful. Thanks for all you guys are doing to stay open during these uncertain times.

Positive experience: Stacy is wonderful I love her way she made me feel right at home and not worry about anything she was spot on with help and getting me the financing and bike i have always wanted. I would recommend shopping here before all others.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience Andy, my salesman ask for him, while buying my first Harley Davidson. The rest of the dealership was awesome as well! Every time I go in there it feels like a family. Thank you AV Harley Davidson!

Fantastic experience: "They are always helpful and great customer service."

Fantastic experience: I sent an email for some parts and Don contacted me by phone a few hours later. When I went to pick up my parts, he was very helpful with any question I had.

Fantastic experience: "I brought my bike in for two new tires, 40K service and had an electrical issue with the speedo. I dropped the bike off early that morning to give the service team plenty of time to finish the job. When I arrived just before closing to pick up my bike they had completed the required work but they still weren't happy with the electrical issue the bike was still experiencing. Scott explained to me what the issues was and was not comfortable sending the bike on its way. They stayed late after closing to finish the bike and clear up the electrical issue. Their customer service went way above the what was expected to kept a customer happy and riding safely. Thanks again for the great work and attention to detail."

Fantastic experience: Very helpful service..Thanks You!!

Fantastic experience: Don was very knowledgeable with the parts that I needed to order and was very nice and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Matt made sure I was taken care of when there was an trouble shooting issue with my motorcycle. And Ron Martinez did an EXCELLENT job, detailing my motorcycle. A BIG Thank to Matt & Ron"

Fantastic experience: "Recent shopping experience was phenomenal due to help from Cat. The dealership was due to close soon, but she remained friendly and helpful. Another great experience at AVHD."

Fantastic experience: This is my 4th Harley-Davidson purchase from Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson, but it was my first time dealing with Stacie, Dave and Andy. All three did a great job from informing me as to the changes made to the FLHTK, getting me out on a test ride and the financing. No pressure and hassle free! I'm pretty sure that this bike will be the last one I purchase, unless I out live the bikes warrantee... But I'll always need service, apparel and an accessory here and there and Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson will always be my place to shop, where they treat you like family... Maybe better!

Fantastic experience: Buying my first Harley at Antelope Valley Harley Davidson was a given, it feels like I bought it from a family member the entire staff is so welcoming and helpful!!!! I have been shopping at AV HD for years everyone knew I wanted a bike but were never pushing they are always willing and patient about answering all my questions and concerns. THANK YOU AV HD

Fantastic experience: Dave was one of the best sales people I have ever delt with. No pressure at all. Let me ride two different Electra Glides to see the difference in years and how easy it was to ride compared to my 2010 Fat Bob. I was very surprised that a 300 lb heavier bike could corner better even with the floor boards.

Fantastic experience: "Always a pleasure to shop at AV Harley "

Fantastic experience: Best hd shop in so cal.

Fantastic experience: Always a great shopping experience great quality many products still made in the USA

Fantastic experience: Thank you from Two-Lifestyles, Inc. for your support.

Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had never ridden a bike before, ever! Charlie, my instructor, was fantastic. From the class room to the course she made sure all in the class was “getting it” and if she saw someone had any hesitation she’d address it and help them feel more confident. This class is great for the beginner or newer rider. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff! Classroom portions and range portions of ofiding Academy CHP CMSP MTC are at the Antelope Valley fairgrounds. Maintenance on the range bikes is top-notch, and classroom is really nice. Entrance to range is off Avenue G8
