I can't think of a model that is "limited production" enough to increase in value.

I like the Boatail Superglide for a collectors bike.. Ugly and very rare if unmolested.

My buddy bought 2 35th Anniversary SuperGlides (I bought 1) thinking they would be collectable. Dunno why they weren't; best looking bike the Moco ever made.

Probably because it was a twinkie rehash of the original 1971 shovel superglide without the ducktail.

I'm hoping my 100 yr anniversary Fatboy is a collectors item one day. Probably won't be but I enjoy it every ride I take. I don't see many 100 yr anniversary models nowadays.

And what's with the 105 anniversary model? I never understood that one. It's not really a milestone year. And just 5 years after the previous anniversary model. I guess just a sales gimmick.

Of the three bikes that I have, my '98 Heritage Springer (FLSTS) 95th Anniversary Edition, will be the one bike I'll have 'till the end.
EVO (carbed) with straight Samson Fishtails and lots of chrome accessories she is a CLASSIC for sure.


I rarely ride it (it's got about 9500 miles on it) but I do occasionally take it for a short weekend ride.


I doubt that I'll ever be able to get what I have invested in it and I wouldn't be happy selling it for what most people would want to pay for it so she sits where she is.

Really nice trim on the worst year TC. The boattail would still be ugly...

My bike will be collectable. I saw a Silver/Black Gold Key Package, 100th Anniversary FLHTCUI, gleaming in the Sun, in Prairie du Chien. I thought it was the most gorgeous bike I ever saw.
Later that year, I was fortunate enough to find one for myself. Still my favorite bike.
