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
