Yes, I have the Low Rider. I owned a Road King before and wish I had kept it. Maybe why I'd consider trading. Haven't seen the RK in person, just pics, it's about an hour away from me, and was getting other's thoughts before I spend a couple hours going go look at it. KBB and NADA are "close" as to value although my Low Rider is worth more on both sites. Listing does say that the RK had "minor cosmetic damage" and has a rebuilt title.

 

If the RK had the newer frame or possibly a Rushmore otherwise no way.

 

The RK has a rebuilt title?

Nope, walk away......

BTW, I sold my '12 Low Rider w/12000 miles on it to a HD dealer for 9500.00...it just sold after sittin' on their lot for 5 months w/a asking price of 11000.00 and then 10595.00. I don't know what it ended up selling for, probably 10000.

I couldn't be happier with the '03 RK I purchased...it might be a keeper.

 

THIS ^ makes that a $5500.00 motorcycle. Trade??? Aw hell no.

I don't know you but my guess is you're in or at least headed toward the autumn of your life. Usually, that means 10K or less isn't hard to come by. Go find a 2009 or newer Road King as Baka suggests and buy it. I have a Super Glide and a Road King. Every time I ride either bike I say to myself "If I could only have one bike, it'd be this one". But I know what the truth is, if I were really forced to go down to one bike, the King of the Road would be on the road.

Having two machines allows me to never miss a ride for mechanical or service issues. I do major work to the King in the summer because I don't need the wind protection when it's warm (I'm about to pull the engine). I do my major work on the Dyna in the winter, when I don't want ride a naked machine in the cold.

 

Never buy a bike with a salvage title unless you are mechanically inclined and get a great deal!!!

 

no, according to KBB retail on both bikes FXDL = 12,125 FLHR = 10,690. The figures dont add up.

Edit ..... with a rebuilt title. Forget it. He should kick in about 6 grand ... or more.

 

No way! The RK is not worth the Low Rider's value. As others have said, a newer model (09 - 11) might be worth it. But this one...HELL NO!

 

The only way I'd make that deal is if I was the guy who owned the Road King

 

 

walk away hell run.
