I am not a lover of organised tours but this one was fantastic. A real insight into how these famous motor bikes are assembled, their history and future. We had a great tour guide who was fun and knowledgable. I would highly recommend a visit if you have the time.

Imagine taking a HOG off the assembly line and taking a ride on the back roads - wind blowing in your face as you take the bike from 0 miles to a "few" mph over the speed limit.

I did this tour last summer. If you're a Harley fan you will find this very interesting. If not, maybe a little boring to you. I was part of a group of about 6 and it was a good size to ask questions. There are 3 types made here, Sportster and Dyna are 2, can't remember the 3rd. Everyone very... More

Very impressive robots take flat steel plates and bend them into parts such as fuel tanks or fenders. Other robots bend and assemble metal tubes into frames. Before bending begins, every frame tube is spun to ensure that each seam is in the correct position. Harley engines are also assembled in this plant. Even more robots weld parts together, sandblast... More

Knowledgable tour guides. Loved the information and the pace of the tour. So neat to "Walk the Line" instead of high above from an observation deck.

Even though there was no production on Friday, we still got to tour the facility and enjoyed seeing the plant. Wonderful guide. Plant was spotless and very clean; great impression on a well-run factory.

Even if you are not into motorcycles this is a great tour. Your get to walk around in the factory itself and the tour is terrific. Try to go Monday thru Thursday when the factory is running. Also have a great gift shop. This place is a must.

James is a great guide takes the time to answer questions. We have taken the tour before and it is getting better, hopefully one day they will let you see the paint process. If you are in town or have a lay over stop by its worth the trip.
