Why ?

Hi,

Could you tell me why the FLHRC Road King Classic costs more than the FLHT Electra Glide Standard in Europe ? ... and especially in Belgium ?

The Road King classic costs : 21.695,00 € (± 31.800,00 $)
The Electra Glide Std costs : 18.995,00 € (± 27.850,00 $)

Is there some reasons to explain that ?

Thanks for the info's...

More popular model, black & chrome motor and because people will pay more for it.

I'd go with the EGS and remove what I didn't need or want on it.

The RKC is more than the EG Standard in the US too. (Though for 2010 we can't get the EG Standard anymore.) The RK Classic has spoked wheels, black and chrome motor, etc. that cost more. The RK Classic is more expensive than the regular Road King for the same reasons.
