Harley-Davidson® The Study Continued

Reduce Stress and Ride a Harley-Davidson®

Motorcyclists have long championed riding a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle as their main road to stress relief and positive mental health. Today, the results of a neurobiological study have yielded pioneering scientific evidence stating that they are right. The study found that motorcycling increased metrics of focus and attention, and decreased relative levels of cortisol, a hormonal marker of stress. This is huge!

Researchers recorded participants’ brain activity and hormone levels. The results were impressive. Riding a motorcycle decreased hormonal biomarkers of stress by 28%. On average, riding for 20 minutes increased heart rates by 11% and adrenaline levels by 27% – similar to light exercise.

Sensory focus was enhanced on a motorcycle vs driving a car. The changes in study participants’ brain activity suggested an increase in alertness. Like drinking a cup of coffee.

“While scientists have long-studied the relationship of brain and hormone responses to attention and stress, doing so in real-life conditions such as these is rare,” explained UCLA Professor and senior team member, Dr. Mark Cohen. “No lab experiment can duplicate the feelings that a motorcyclist would have on the open road.”

“The differences in participants’ neurological and physiological responses between riding and other measured activities were quite pronounced,” continued Dr. Vaughn. “This could be significant for mitigating everyday stresses.” Find your freedom and vitality on a Harley-Davidson® today.

Harley-Davidson Street® 750

New and Used Motorcycles Salem

Carve the canyons of the urban grid with a Harley-Davidson Street® bike. You get the power of the 750cc Revolution X™ engine and the confidence and quick handling of a nimble chassis and dialed-in suspension. The fun starts when the light turns green.

The blacked-out, liquid-cooled V-Twin engine is built to conquer the hot and heavy traffic of urban streets. You can count on smooth response to the progressive throttle when you want to get through any hole that opens in front of you.

The sophisticated, factory-installed ABS gives you confidence in the saddle. Knowing your bike’s going to behave when you need it.

Lifting the bike up off the side stand is easy, thanks to its low weight and low center of gravity. It makes pulling out from the curb feel as effortless as putting your thumb to the starter button.

The seat height is just 28-inches. And the frame and seat are narrow, which makes for an even easier reach. The advantages of a low seat also shine when the light turns green. It gives you a low center of gravity for confidence when you’re negotiating traffic or just slowly rolling through a parking lot looking for a spot.

This dark, aggressive, and custom look sports an all-black two-into-one exhaust, black cast aluminum wheels, blacked-out front end with a café inspired speed screen. Special to the bike is a chrome medallion made of steel on the fuel tank.

This is the bike that will take you places. Ride a Harley-Davidson Street® Today.

Riding a Harley-Davidson® Reduces Stress

Riding a Harley-Davidson® improves focus and decreases stress. According to a new neurobiological study. Of course, riders have known this all along. Wind in your face and worries left behind is only found on a motorcycle.

Researchers recorded participants’ brain activity and hormone levels before, during, and after motorcycling, driving a car, and resting. While riding a motorcycle, participants experienced increased sensory focus and resilience to distraction. Riding also produced an increase in adrenaline levels and heart rate, as well as a decrease in cortisol metrics – results often associated with light exercise and stress-reduction.

As stress levels rise, people are exploring ways to better their mental and physical health. Until recently the technology to measure the impact of these activities did not exist. “The brain is an amazingly complex organ and it’s fascinating to rigorously investigate the physical and mental effects riders report.” Said Dr. Don Vaughn, the neuroscientist who led the research team.

Motorcyclists have long championed riding as their main road to stress relief and positive mental health. Now it has been documented and proven!
