I was gonna trade my 92 Fat boy for a 2016 Road king but quickly backed out.

Like your decision. Just curious what were the deciding factors?

My thoughts exactly. Although, with 200,000 miles on the clock and some minor crash damage from last fall that I can't repair myself, I'm wondering how much longer I can hold on to the old bike.

I have a 2016 breakout, and love everything about it. However, I took a really clean 2011 Road king Classic with less than 5000 miles in trade at my dealership. I really think it might be fun to have both.. It's winter time in a snow state, I couldn't get good money out of any bike stores, so I kept it for my used inventory at a Ford Store. Looking at this everyday could cost me
