What Is an H-D Certified Pre-Owned Motorcycle?
An H-D Certified pre-owned motorcycle is an eligible used Harley-Davidson that has completed the requirements of the H-D Certified program. These motorcycles are inspected and reconditioned by certified Harley-Davidson technicians before being offered as certified inventory.
The H-D Certified program is designed for riders who want additional assurances beyond those generally associated with purchasing a standard used motorcycle. A certified motorcycle must qualify for the program and complete a detailed review intended to verify applicable mechanical, functional and cosmetic standards.
Not every used Harley-Davidson is certified. Always verify the certification status of the specific motorcycle you are considering.
Benefits of Buying an H-D Certified Motorcycle
Current H-D Certified pre-owned program benefits may include a comprehensive inspection, limited warranty and rider-support benefits. Program terms, motorcycle eligibility and available coverage are subject to the official documents provided with the motorcycle.
110-Point Quality Assurance Inspection
Each eligible H-D Certified pre-owned motorcycle receives a 110-point Quality Assurance Inspection. The inspection includes mechanical, functional and cosmetic checks intended to determine whether the motorcycle meets applicable program standards.
If reconditioning is needed to meet certification requirements, eligible work is performed before the motorcycle is offered as H-D Certified inventory.
Limited 12-Month Warranty
Eligible H-D Certified motorcycles currently include a 12-month, unlimited-mileage limited warranty that provides specified engine and transmission coverage. Coverage limitations, exclusions, responsibilities and claim procedures apply.
Ask San Diego Harley-Davidson to review the written warranty documentation for the specific motorcycle before purchase. The warranty should not be described as covering every motorcycle component or every possible repair.
H.O.G. Membership and Roadside Assistance
The current certified program also includes a one-year national Harley Owners Group® membership with Roadside Assistance. This benefit can provide additional rider support and access to the Harley-Davidson ownership community.
Membership and roadside-assistance services are governed by current program terms and eligibility requirements.
Certified Pre-Owned vs. Regular Used Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
Both certified and traditional used motorcycles can offer excellent value, but they are not identical.
A regular used Harley-Davidson is a pre-owned motorcycle offered for sale based on its individual condition and dealership preparation. An H-D Certified motorcycle must qualify for the formal certification program and includes specified program benefits.
Key differences may include:
Formal H-D Certified eligibility requirements
A documented 110-point Quality Assurance Inspection
Reconditioning by a certified Harley-Davidson technician
Eligible limited-warranty protection
H.O.G. membership with Roadside Assistance
Certification documentation associated with the motorcycle
A non-certified motorcycle is not necessarily a poor choice. It may not qualify because of age, mileage, modifications or other program requirements. Compare the condition, history, equipment, price and coverage of each motorcycle before deciding.

How Does a Motorcycle Become H-D Certified?
Certification begins with an eligible used Harley-Davidson motorcycle. A certified Harley-Davidson technician performs the program inspection and identifies items that may require attention.
The process is designed to evaluate applicable areas such as:
Engine and transmission operation
Controls and switches
Braking components
Tires and wheels
Electrical functions
Lighting
Suspension
Fluid condition
Cosmetic condition
Roadworthiness-related functions
This list is only a general overview and is not the official inspection checklist. Ask the dealership for the current certification documents associated with the motorcycle.
Certification does not make a used motorcycle new. Certified motorcycles can still show normal characteristics associated with their age, mileage and previous use. Review the vehicle carefully and request complete information before purchasing.
Find the Right Certified Motorcycle for San Diego Riding
The best certified pre-owned Harley-Davidson depends on your experience, riding position, travel plans and budget.
For longer trips through Southern California, consider a certified touring motorcycle with wind protection, saddlebags and passenger accommodations. Riders planning local trips around La Jolla, Mission Bay, Pacific Beach or Downtown San Diego may prefer a cruiser or Sport model. A certified adventure motorcycle can be worth considering for riders seeking greater versatility.
When comparing certified motorcycles, consider:
Model and model year
Mileage
Seat height and riding position
Motorcycle weight
Passenger comfort
Storage capacity
Installed equipment
Service and ownership records
Certification documents
