09 RK good deal?
So I sold my 2008 Heritage yesterday. Ive been searching all over for a good deal on a low miles, 09 or newer RK with ABS.
Found a dealer who has a one owner 2009 RK, vivid Black with ABS, 5500 miles.
Here are the details:
$15,200 for the bike stock with a passenger back rest already on the bike.
Accessories I am adding which the dealer will install :
stage 1
Rinehart slip ons
sundowner seat
Heritage handlebars
grips
highway pegs
labor for parts install
Also, dealer will pay $250 towards shipping.
Total price including accessories/labor: $17,280 shipped to my house. (I will need to pay tax when i register)
Sound like a decent deal? Im trying to make a decision this weekend.
Thanks!

I think you can do better if you don't get in a hurry. There was an 09 RKC for sale here on the forums recently in vivid black with passenger backrest and 1800 miles for $14,500 but if you are happy with the deal, that's all that matters.
Edit: Just reread the post. I guess there's only $700 difference in the bike I just mentioned and the one you're looking at before the performance mods so no a bad deal if you really want the hard bags but the RKC does come with cruise control.

That is a good deal...I checked Kelley Blue Book because I'm getting ready to sell my 2009 RK with only 1700 miles...complete with Detachable Backrest, Luggage Rack, Stage One w/H-D Tuner Download, and cruise for $16,500...its immaculate. KBB retail is $16,875. I have three motorcycles and one scooter...something has to go.

I say it's not a good deal. You can look at KBB or NADA all day, but if bikes are selling on forums, trader, craigslist, and ebay for less... then KBB and NADA crap. The same goes for any vehicle. You have to check what they are actually selling for. The internet makes it a whole lot easier to do that.
Look around, because I see much better deals all the time.

Deal? Or No Deal!
Sounds about average until you add in performance mods. Have you checked out prices on 2010 / 11 leftovers? Sometimes you can swing a deal. Sounds like you are in the price range of new (less mods). In either case, nice choice of ride, enjoy!

BTW... KBB & NADA base their price guide on what is selling around the country...its only a reference guide that establishes a base line or starting point. Selling and trading is my hobby but if I was in the business to make money I would hire you in a New York minute to be my buyer...that is if you could distinguish the difference between a cream puff and a crop duster running maypops.
