Narrowed down to two Road Kings
Narrowed down to two Road Kings
Working a deal on two different bikes right now and not sure which way I wanna go.
First is a 2013 RK Standard. Crimson Red Sunglo bone stock with cruise - $16.9 OTD
Second is a 2011 RK Standard with 9500 miles. Black with Heritage bars, true duals, Python slip-ons, hi-flo, power commander and a few other small extras. $13.3 OTD
Neither has ABS/security. 2011 is out of warranty. So the big difference would be the jump from 96 to 103. Love the power of the 103 but it has been a while since I rode a 96 so can't really remember if it was that much of a difference.
Also of note I rode a 2014 RK and in all honesty I did not see much of the difference in the ride, handling ad performance between it and the 2013. So not even a consideration.
I could prolly swing the 2013 but the 2011 would obviously be easier on the wallet. I'm sure I would be happy with either over my 2004 RK Custom.
The big problem is I really don't want to trade because they are only offering $7k on my trade. Which would leave me at $6101/$9650 respectively with my trade. I just paid $10k for it several months ago with lots of accessories. I know it is always better to sell. But it is really getting harder and harder to sell a pre-09 with two major upgrades to the 09-up models. And it is only gonna get worse as prices go down.
Thoughts???

Not an option. If I do anything it will be on the new frame. Not really worried about running circles around anyone. More having a more nimble, stable and planted ride.
Haha. I knew that was coming.

Try to sell it on Craigslist first or see if the dealer will do a consignment sale for you. Don't wait too long; it is getting colder out there.
