I had a fault code appear on my Low Rider. I called The service Dept at Powder Keg HD and spoke with Elliot Vanderbosch. I was concerned they would not be able to look at it. The Service shop is full and they are Busy. Elliot had me bring it in so they could read the ECM. So glad he worked with me. I came in that day and they easily found the issue and took care of it. I love riding my bike and did not want to leave it there:) Powder Keg is well served by the expertise and customer friendly service offered by Elliot V. Thanks Elliot!! and Powder Keg HD read more

I got VIP for my bike, I had some issues with my bike so I was not able to get in for service as much as I would have liked to since I did not get the mileage on the bike. In three years, I ended up using one service. The program cost over $2000. I went to get my 10K service and had missed my program by ONE day. I do realize this is my fault, but would think they could do something for all of the money I spent. The other issue is the offer that I received for my trades. I have two bikes and wanted to go down to one. I ended up with a second bike because of a crazy situation and thought I could trade them both in for just one payment... I have a 2020 sportster and a 2024 softail standard. They offered me $8000 for both of them. I found that to be a bit ridiculous. They told me I could put down $16,000 and still have a payment in the $500 range! Like, absolutely not. read more

Don't come here until you want to spend thousands over what other dealerships want. High pressure salesman.

Worst dealer ship in ohio, low ball offer on a bike they built , buckeye paid 7000 over what powder keg offered , second time they done me crappy , shoulda learned the first time , I will never be back read more

purchased a bike from Lexi Minion and was given a promise and noted in the contract that we were to be given a new seat as the one on the bike was broken and was asked to come back the next day to pick it up...she ran and hid when I walked in the building and I was approached by a man in an egressive manne. I was promised to get my hand grips back from the bike I traded in and when I got them they were broken and they were well over 200 and was told that they would not replace them. This is the worst experience I have ever had at a dealership next to High Stakes. I definitely do NOT recommend doing business as they are shady!!!! read more

Full of sh!t , lies and nothing but snakes in the grass. If you value your money and your bike don't go here. Cause they will cheat you, promise you everything and once you ride out. You will find the only gift you get is sh!t stacked head high. And they will not hold up to their word. Even if they put it in your CONTACT. If you go there and deal with them its on you. I learned the hard way. Save yourself the trouble. Don't go. Cause they said I was going to get a seat even wrote down on the contract go back this morning first I didn't get met by my sales person. She ran and hide. They some want to be important person tells me that they broke my old handgrips that were custom built. And then tells me he doesn't care what was in my contract or what was said to me. But I wasn't getting what what I was told before I signed one paper. read more

This place is full of liars They tell you one price to get you in the door, and then yank it up by another five to $7000 more. They try to sell one bike of what you're interested in and then get you in the door and it's no longer available even after you put a deposit on it This facility is a joke. And their online sales representatives are complete assholes ! read more

Went to test drive, and they wanted to run credit first. Offered $700 for our trade in., and STILL couldn't test drive. Went to CinCity HD and got 3K for the same trade in, as well as TOP NOTCH customer service. To top it off, the sales rep STILL calls to see if we are looking for a bike. Don't waste your time here. Head to CinCity. read more

I have been coming to Powder Keg for many years and bought 4-5 bikes from them. The dealership is not the same. Went in to discuss purchasing a 2025 Road King--salesman said they are trying to "give them away." Asked for numbers with my trade in. What a joke. They were offering $12,500 for my 2021 StreetGlide Special Artic Blast paint--1 of 500 made. It has low mileage, ape handle bars and slip ons with tuner that they put on the bike when I bought it. I could sell outright for $22000+. They offered no discount to the MSRP for a bike that is new, yet a year old. They have six and clearly are not giving them away. When asked, she indicated that they could possibly give me a $1500 card for the additional $3000+ things I would want to add to the Road King with no discount on the price they list on the internet. I hope that the 2021 has not really lost that much value. If so, I am concerned about the other two Harleys I have. I was loyal to this dealer and their service department, but time to look elsewhere. read more

Completely unprofessional. Sale guy over the phone agreed what our trade in value was worth and we drove 3hrs to get there to be insulted. They valued our bike 4500 less than both local dealers were willing to give us on trade in. Lies Lies and more Lies. They wouldn't even show us the service records of the bike we were looking at. read more

The new ownership at this dealership has forced me to take my business elsewhere. Not to mention the horror stories I've hear coming from this place. There are 4 other HD dealerships in Greater Cincinnati that I would recommend you take your business to. Steer clear of Powder Keg. read more

Do not insult customers by pretending to offer a reasonable price for their well-kept Harley Davidson motorcycle. It's a waste of everyone's time. read more

beware of this dealership When I bought my motorcycle there I brought in 500 cash to add to my down deposit it's nowhere noted on the paperwork they stole it They lied and said their VIP maintenance program I was getting 12 full services but it was only 6 full services & 6 simple oil changes & must be used in 2 yesrs, total rip off, buy used or buy GoldWing, it's what the state patrol rides The bottom line is Harley Davidson doesn't make money selling motorcycles they make money financing them through their eagle mark Nazi bank do not buy Harley buy used and never finance from them I made a huge mistake that I regret but there is no way out when you sign with them they're very much like the devil read more

I wanted to give a shoutout to Powder Key Harley-Davidson's Tim Ballard. I called Sunday with a bit of a problem. We could not remove the oil filter from our Heritage Springer while performing a fluids and filter change. I called Tim to explain the situation. Tim asked if I could stop up and let them have a look --- 45-minutes later the old filter was off, the new one installed, with all fluids topped off --- Talk about FANTASTIC SERVICE!!! Way to go, Tim -- I really appreciate your attention to good customer service and will be sure to sing your praises going forward. read more

Powder keg has been nothing short of a nightmare, 2 weeks they have had my bike and just now have ordered parts, blamed rain, short staffing you name it, I received no phone calls as to an update of what's going on with the bike or lack there of. I finally called today and put up a stink was told by service manager that they where getting ready to order parts and bike was at least another week out from being done as they took it off the lift to work on other customers bikes after all these phone calls I asked Ken in service for the Harley corporate number he told me to get it myself and hung up on me now they aren't answering my calls, corporate was no help nor could I get ahold of the store manager as he was miraculously in meetings every time I called this place is a nightmare and nobody should use them!!!!!! Buy a Harley they said...... never again read more

Powder Keg Harley-Davidson is an unscrupulous dealership, in my opinion. I'd not do business with them. I saw a bike for sale on their website, so I called to confirm that it was in stock and still for sale. The price seemed reasonable. The salesman told me they had the bike for sale for almost six months. He further said the price had been reduced due to the bike not selling. Further, they have a systematic method for mandatory price reductions for aging inventory. He verified the price, and I said I wanted to purchase the bike. He asked if I was interested in financing, and I told him I would finance part of the purchase price. He told me I would need to complete a credit application online. They sent me a link. I finished the application and was approved for the loan. Then the salesman said I needed to speak to the sales manager and transferred me to the sales manager. The sales manager said he needed to go. over the final details. He said there were some additional mark-ups regarding the price. They totaled appropriately an extra $3000. I told him that I was not interested in the additional mark-up items and wanted to buy the bike for the advertised price they had and still have listed on their website. It was Saturday and he said that he would have to talk to the general sales manager regarding honoring the advertised price and get back with me on Tuesday since they would be closed on Monday. When Tuesday morning rolled around, the salesman called me back and said they were unwilling to take the price advertised on their website. He further stated that the price would be the price they have on their website plus an additional approximately $ 3000.00. Who does that? It seems like some form of bait and switch to me. This Harley Davidson dealership is not above board when it comes to honesty. I will send a letter to the appropriate governing agencies regarding this misrepresentation, as I have the support documents to back up my claims. Powder Keg Harley Davidson, do better. If they misrepresent their prices on purchases, I'm confident they would also misrepresent other things. It's been almost a week, and the bike is still listed for sale on their website without the appropriate $3000.00 dealer mark-up. read more

The buying experience was on on par with expectations. Adam did a good job of taking my feedback and putting me in the right bike for me. Now after I made the commit to buy there was a lot of smoke and mirrors when it came to the purchase contract. felt very forced to pick up the additional service contract, warranty and theft coverages. Those items added roughy $3000 to the bill of sale or $60+ a month to my financing. They also had a $1500 of free accessories for the model I purchased they kept hidden and made it look like the small amount of accessories I wanted was "thrown in" to close a deal. Additionally I ordered parts to be installed prior to pickup. Was told they needed a well to get those in stock and put on. long story short I picked up the bike a week later and my parts had not even arrived..... once they arrived I had to wait a week to get installed due to service dept being booked out. So much for that VIP program I purchased to jump the line in service. Great selection of bikes, informed sales reps that listen, BUT once ya commit to purchase the poop hits the fan. With as much business as this place does you would figure they would focus on better post sale service to keep retention rates high. I live across the street from this place, BUT the next bike I buy will be from Queen City another close dealer. read more

I came to Powderkeg on my birthday to pick out a bike. Salesman put me on a bike that I liked that just so happened to have been born the same year as me. The price on the bike was $7996. Dealership refused to negotiate because they "practically rebuilt the bike" so I'm thinking whatever. At least I shouldn't have any trouble out of it for a while. Final price ended up being $10,300. I paid 2k down. No where anywhere on the paperwork is my down payment reflected. Called hd financial services and the payoff amount is showing $10,300 as well. No idea why my down payment hasn't been reflected in the final price of the motorcycle. The circus doesn't stop there though. I had them deliver the bike since I lived roughly 2.5 hours away. They tell me the delivery cost is gonna be $250 and I say fine. They'll roll it into the final price of the bike. The bike arrives on time, however they forgot the keys and also, it's got a dead battery. They try telling me the "vibration from being transported" is what killed the battery. What a load of crap. Bike spends the whole first day on a battery charger charging. Fire it up. Surprise! Now it won't even idle without the enrichener being on. I tried letting it warm up as per the manuals recommendations. Didnt work still won't idle without the enrichener. So I tried riding it to see if that would warm it up. Still nothing. In fact, the thing is a death trap and died twice on me in traffic whenever the RPMs would fall below a certain mark. Still won't idle without the enrichener. Now this thing has a pretty major gas leak around the accelerator pump on the carburetor. Like, bike in danger of catching on fire kinda gas leak. I call HD and try to let them know the troubles I'm having. Salesman that sold me the bike quit. After multiple phone calls stretched out across a week I get in touch with a sales manager. First they try to blame me for not knowing how to start and warm up an older bike. I tell them all I've ridden up to this point are carbureted bikes, some way older than this one. Then they have the audacity to tell me they don't know anything about it being delivered with a dead battery. I tell them they need to come and get the bike and make it right and the guy says "well we only have 1 truck and we aren't going to drive 2.5 hours just for a '96 model. You're going to have to bring it in." I ask him how he expects me to bring it in without it being in running condition and he says "well you just told me you were riding it." Oh? I guess you missed the part where I told you it dies under 25 mph and leaks gas like a sieve. The sales manager says he's going to talk to the owner and find out a solution for me. I'm thinking finally, they're going to make It right. The solution I got was Harley Davidson will fix the bike for free but the transportation is on me. Right. A U haul would cost me more than fixing the stupid thing myself or taking it to a local shop. The best part though is when I'm on the phone with this guy telling him the carburetor has issues and he starts going through the list of everything that was done to the bike... Apparently "practically rebuilt the bike" means "we put some chrome covers on it, did the brakes and an oil change and sent it." Because he gets to the end and goes "well we didn't even touch the carburetor or the battery" well well well... You mean the two things I'm having issues with are two things you never looked at to begin with? Guy tells me "unless it's causing immediate problems we don't even look at it." It's been two weeks since I bought my bike. Battery has died again. Still don't have the keys. Still don't know where my down payment went. I would give negative stars to this place if I could. As far as I'm concerned it's a den of thieves and I'm highly contemplating legal action. BUYERS BEWARE #SHOULDVEGONEWITHINDIAN read more

Poor customer service. Rick in service was a total jerk. No compassion for people and their problems DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE. The restrooms were also trashed. read more

Went in to test ride a Fat Bob listed for $12,999, and before I could kick a leg over it, I was told we had to negotiate purchase price. It was explained to me that process is how it's done there and they want a committed buyer before they even do a test ride. In the end, I never got to ride the bike because I didn't want to accept that there is a mandatory $1k charge FOR ALL USED bikes for "setup" (routine checks and proper maintenance to sell the bike used). In my opinion, this should have been included in the listing price, which I was happy to pay. So, I walked. Now they won't stop calling and they've removed the price from the listing. Wife called them and asked about the the same bike and was quoted $18,999! A $6,000 increase in a week! Went to a different dealer and test rode the same model with only a driver's license and conversation within 20 mins of showing up. Even though they have the bike I want, this way of doing business is not one I'm comfortable with. Pros: they have an amazing selection, bar none. Some of the prices *seem* extremely good, but as I found out, they could change for no reason at any time. read more

While riding through Cincinnati, I hit something in the road which damaged both rims on my Road Glide. I was really disappointed that Powderkeg couldn't get my bike back on the road. I was told they would have to order rims. They gave me the option of shipping my bike to me once the parts arrive but it would probably be 2 months before I get it back. I bought a Harley because of the stellar reputation that their dealers have for taking care of riders (especially those who are far from home). I did not get that feeling from this dealer. I rented a U Haul truck and took my bike to my local dealer. They said I will be back on the road in a week. read more

I want to thank Jamie, the service manager, and Tony for assisting me with getting my handlebars adjusted on my Tri-Glide.

See all

My husband and I have been to this dealership 2 times now. The first time was a complete disaster and we left and purchased 2 bikes from a far superior Harley dealership. We want to upgrade a bike and Powder Keg had one we were HIGHLY interested in but JUST WANTED TO LOOK. After much consideration we tried this dealership again. We politely told the first vulture that approached us that we were JUST LOOKING today. We could not even walk around the sales floor without being pitched a sales line of some kind. After another attempt to look at the bike we came to see, we were approached by 2 more in a tag team effort. At that point we left. When a customer tells you they are just looking I DO NOR WANT OR NEED a trained speech from the puppets clothes in H-D gear. We will spend our hard earned money out respectful dealership with our amazing sales rep read more

So been going here for years. Upgraded one bike here and bought another dresser here. Bought Jackets, helmets(today my goal was to buy a new one, $225), and much more. In February I bought a $60 pair of gloves to use with my touch stuff. I have not gotten out on the bike to use this but once and realized they don't do what the said the would do. Wanted to bring these back and find a replacement. None of the ones in the store do touch that are marked at lease moron my iPhone. The managers said so sorry too bad they were brought in February. They look and feel brand new but sorry about my luck. So, I did it but the helmet or a replacement pair of gloves. When telling them I would go elsewhere they basically waved. So go here if you want something but buyer beware. read more

Pretty underwhelmed with this business. I bought my first Harley brand new last year and haven't been satisfied since. I had parts ordered that were to be installed before delivery and they weren't. Talking to parts and service people you can tell they just want to get you off the phone. read more

BUYER BEWARE! I went in liked a T-shirt, but picked up the wrong size, I put it down and picked up the right size. Took it home (Not Local) and the front picture on the front was not even close to the center, stuck with it but it and it looks stupid. Waste of my money ! read more

as a first time bike owner, I thought my experience would be amazing, turns out the experience isn't what I thought. again as someone else stated. I was supposed to get $1,500 credit towards a purchase of accessories in store. I bought a brand new bike spend over $32,000. they assured me the bike was inspected with nothing wrong. pressured me into buying the one I bought. now with riding season coming to and end. they said they would have my bike 1 week for inspection/ oil change. here it is 2 weeks later and I'm told there is issues with a bike I bought a few months back and rode maybe 10 times max. I'm paying for a bike I can't even ride at the moment with riding season coming to an end. beware from buying from this company! take your time, money and effort elsewhere. how can you say a bikes been inspected then turn around and say there's issues! it's supposed to be under warranty as the other person stated. I paid extra for that. and now they want me to pay out of pocket. please don't use this company. the extras are money just wasted.!!!! read more

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with a Harley dealership. Was given a trade in price on my bike (after they looked at photos, Vin number, odometer)and a price on a bike I wanted to buy, "guaranteed". Rode 1.5 hrs in the rain to make the deal. Once I got there the sales rep and the management team acted as if the conversation never happened. They wanted more than double what we agreed to on the phone. Went through three sales managers to try to work it out. All three were rude and not willing to listen or help. The sales rep who made the deal over the phone with me blamed his management team every time they walked away for "the confusion on the math". Complete and utter waste of time. Worst customer experience I've EVER had. Tell everyone you know this place is totally dishonest. read more

This is only the second Harley Davidson store I've ever been too, but I was very impressed. The space is clean and well stocked. The staff was wonderful, very attentive, and friendly. As a non-biker I am primarily here with my dad or purchasing a gift for him. They have always taken time to educate me and help me pick the perfect item. What really pushes this place to five star territory is their community involvement. They sponsor and help many local charities host and organize events. In the summer it seems like there is always a charity ride or parking lot festival benefiting a different local charity. In the summer, on the weekends this is the place to be for some good food, good music, and nice community vibe. read more

I brought a perfectly running Electra Glide in for $425 10,000 mile service. Bike returned ticking and now a whining sound, clutch slipping and and it was returned 1 1/2 quarts low on oil.
