About the Bikes


What is the Rider’s Edge® About the Bikes Course?
About the Bikes™ – An Intro to the Motorcycle Models is an educational and interactive 2 1/2 hour course that takes place in our Rider’s Edge® classroom and motorcycle showroom. There is no riding in the About the Bikes class. It’s designed to bridge the gap between new riders and a new bike purchase.
Why does Illinois Harley-Davidson offer this course?
Graduates of our Rider’s Edge® New Rider Course have told us they are interested in increasing their motorcycle knowledge. This course offers us an opportunity to help.
How long is this course?
The About the Bikes™ course requires 2-1/2 hours on one day.
Would I benefit from this course?
If you’re a recent graduate of the Rider’s Edge® New Rider Course or even if you have a motorcycle already but would like to learn more, this course is for you. The About the Bikes™ course provides an introduction to Harley-Davidson and Buell motorcycle models, including features, specifications, history and modifications that will make your new bike fit you better.
Are you going to try and sell me something?
About the Bikes™ is not a sales pitch! It’s a non-threatening learning environment that aims to increase your knowledge, excitement and confidence about making your motorcycle purchase.
What’s the catch?
No catch. About the Bikes™ is offered free to our students and customers so we can help you make a better decision about buying a motorcycle.
