Kauai Harley-Davidson Buell

We were here and rented a HD for the day in March 2015. The day that we were scheduled to go out was supposed to be a very rainy day. We called the evening before and they were more than happy to change our rental date. Staff was awesome and we bought a few tee shirts to take home. Our outing was touring the Waimea Canyon and it was breathtaking and being on the bike was awesome. Be sure to check out the Tree Tunnel along the way, as it is beautiful. We highly recommend and can’t wait to do it again. Thanks HD for the great service and amazing memories.

If you ride and want to see the islands spectacular beauty I highly recommend going in to see Bill, John, or Laree at Kauai HD. Aloha lives in this store which you will recognize at once. I suggest you call ahead for reservations however, even that call was pleasant for us. If your on a cruse from island to island or have limited time on the island and can’t pick the perfect weather day… not to worry they supply rain gear to keep you comfortable. We have rented here for the past several years and I have not written on Unilocal about our experiences and just thought I would after this trip. We have never been disappointed when renting a Harley from here. Thought all that read this post should know about this. Aloha and enjoy your ride.

Came in here so my girlfriend could buy a simple t-​shirt for her brother. Holy hell! Took three employees over 45 minutes and counting to rent a bike to a single person.
No one even offered to help us during the entire situation. No one even looked at us until we finally asked if we could make a simple 30 second transaction. After we spoke up they acted all pissed off like WE were the inconvenience. And still didn’t allow us to buy a shirt.
Not to mention the gift shop is garbage. Terrible selection, no correct sizes, the layout of the store looks like a stoned 16 year old set the place up.
… I’m writing this review as I stand in the store and they STILL haven’t finished with the bike rental. WOW. Dumb employees and a lame place to get a Harley shirt.
Hah! Now the computer crashed. Perfect.

I was just on Kauai for 8 days in late January 2015. Me and three friends rented bikes from Kauai HD and we had nothing short of a blast! I rented a street glide because that is going to be my next bike, and I was not disappointed. The HD staff at the dealer were awesome to work with and they made the experience painless. I want to especially compliment Marci, as she was a complete sweetheart when I turned the bike in and I discussed with her a long term rental for September, as I am returning to Kauai for a full month.
If you are a biker and visiting Kauai, you should definitely rent a bike from these folks. They are true professionals, and very customer service focused! Thank you Kauai Harley Davidson!

My wife and I were looking for 1 fun thing to do to finish off our kauai adventure. After looking at several other options we decided to rent a bike from kauai harley. Best decision we have made in a long time. There is absolutely no better way to see this beautiful island then from behind the set of handle bars. It was absolutely amazing. The service was excellent and rowdy did everything he could to make our trip even better. I plan on recommending this to everyone I know when they come to the island. We were given a 2014 street glide. Possibly one of the best bikes on the road in my opinion. The bike performed flawlessly and was a real pleasure to ride (and this is coming from an older street bike fanatic). If you are looking for something different from the rest of the cookie cutter tourist crap, rent a bike and ride the island. You will not be disappointed!

My husband was intrigued when we saw an add in Hawaiian airlines in flight booklet regarding harley rentals so we knew we had to at least visit the place once we got on island.
Located right on the side of the highway, we saw all these bikes parked outside a small shop and sure enough it was Kauai HD. The shop was small but very well kept. The staff always seemed busy, but never too busy to help you. They offered to answer questions and show us around which was very nice/​friendly of them. The store had a lot of Kauai HD merchandise in case you’re in to that. After chatting about the rental and only having one day left on island we opted to pass this time around but maybe next time!

Given that two of the other reviews on here were very negative, I was a bit apprehensive about renting a bike, but, seeing as they are pretty much the only game in town I decided to plunge ahead and hope that the negative experiences were an aberration. I stopped in on Sunday, talked to a young lady who took my info (and my money.) She took me outside and «Ratman» showed me a ’14 SoftTail Classic (?[I don’t really know from Harleys]) and they let me do a few figure 8’s in the parking lot. My cruiser at home is a Yamaha Stratoliner, which is similar in style, with a few minor differences in the controls. I reserved the bike for Monday, and, when I got there, it was gassed up and ready to go at 8am. The bike was in brand new condition. There was one tiny scratch in the paint that I didn’t even notice — but the guy doing the inspection (Trevor?) did, and wrote it down, along with minor scuffs on the floor boards. The bike runs a little differently than my Yamaha, and seemed to have a little less torque, but I had no complaints. Didn’t vibrate, overheat or have any other issues — clutch, shifter, brakes all worked perfectly, as did the signals, gauges etc. Did the usual run up to the Waimea Canyon Lookout, down the other side, out to the end of the road on the West side, back to Koloa and back to Lihue. Encountered a little traffic in and out of Lihue, but most of the ride it was just me and the highway. Rowdy checked me back in, in about 5 minutes, and that was it. No hassles, basically brand new bike, and beautiful roads and scenery. One note: if you like a faceguard — the rental helmets are all half-​helmets. The bike I rented had a good sized windshield, but it can get gusty on the island and if you are used to cruising in a ¾ or full face helmet (like me) it’s gonna be windy. After about the first hour of settling in, I put in my earplugs and the wind didn’t bother much (the motorcycle sounded/​felt better too!)
And finally, even though they are a Harley dealer, and I’m not a regular Harley rider, there was none of the Harley BS that you sometimes encounter — I think they actually sell some japanese bikes, there too. If I come out here again, I’d probably give them another go.

Mahalo to Rowdy and the entire group at Kauai HD. Top notch service, great bikes and excellent merch. I rented a 2014 Heritage Softail for an afternoon ride to Wiamea Canyon. It was an experience of a lifetime. I’d recommend a stop here for any Harley nut who visits this wonderful island.
