Default Harley Davidson Value=Cost

In your opinion, what year(s) did Harley-Davidson produce a motorcycle that was actually worth the money they cost? Let us know the year(s) and the model(s).

Might be a moot point. The concept of value is determined by the buyer. If the buyer feels the reward is worth the cost, a transaction will happen.

no such thing as a "bad Harley" they just need owners that can bring them up right. ;-)

It never happened in a logical world. In my own emotional world every one was worth every penny paid. 1974 FLH Police Special, 1979 Sportster,1984 Sportster, 1983 ?wide glide, 1981 Sturgis, 1974 Superglide, 2004 Road King classic,1987 Tour Glide, 2004 Road King Police.

If you break any bike down by parts and factor in labor all motorcycle are a great value. If you think certain Harley's are not worth there asking price the solution is simple don't buy them.

Considering you can buy a new auto that has 10X the amount of parts in it for the price of a HD... Id say none of them are actually "worth" what we pay.

Sometimes ya just gotta pay the price to get what ya want.
