Considering Road King Classic
Well I'm looking at buying a RKC with about 1400 miles on it. Comes with transferable 5 yr. warranty, few other small add ons, previous owner put fish tail pipes on it (i really don't care for, he's giving stock pipes too).
I have a few questions. What are some things that I should look for when I go to see the bike? What have been the major problems on the 09's. The guy is pretty negotiable on the price, so I am leery something may be wrong with it. Lastly, what would you consider a fair price on the bike?

1400 miles the bike should look and act like new. Look at KBB. Somewhere between $12,000 and 16,000 is the range. 09s don't have many problems. He should tell you if there is something wrong and the warranty will take care of it.

What kind of pipes did he put on the bike? Some of the Screaming Eagle and a few aftermarket touring pipes have interchangeable end caps so you might be able to just change those out for $40-50.

Fishtails on the Classic look awesome. If I had a Classic fishtails and apes would be on it for sure. My uncle and brother both have RKC's and I was impressed with how much space they have in the bags.

Well I appreciate everyones responses. I missed out on the deal. He found an out of town buyer before I could make time to pick up bike. Not worried though, as PKEYLLY mentioned its a buyer's market and there's lots of bikes out there. I have a deluxe and wide glide to tide me over for the time. Will be putting them up for sale on here soon.

My brother picked up an '06 RKC with 2400 miles on it for around $12.5K. It has cruise, Rinehart TD's and slipons, a Thundermax Autotune, and a bunch of other goodies.
Definitely a buyers market!
