Default From Virago to Road King...

Hi everybody,

A couple weeks ago I became the proud owner of a 2013 Road King. If the attachment in this post works, you'll see that it has a custom paint job but I think that's the only thing different about it. It has one mile on the title and it is currently being shipped to my location.

I travel a lot for my job. I spend a few moths in one location then move on. So far this year I have lived on the Atlantic, in the Midwest, and I'm currently in Arizona.

I'm trying to decide between selling my car and keeping the bike or just selling the bike. I have no idea what it's worth with the paint. I guess that would depend on if someone really loved it.

All I have with me for work are my clothes and a guitar which can all be shipped. Would y'all be so kind as to provide an opinion for my situation? Is this a good bike to use as sole transportation from coast to coast?

One thing for sure you won't have any problem finding that bike in a crowd.

Nice bike-I personally wouldn't want a bike as my only transportation though.Was in that situation for awhile when I was a senior in high school,I remember having to ride in the rain and having a puddle of water pooled between my legs,soak and wet.Bikes are great,but they have their time and place.

you just bought it a couple weeks ago, and now you are asking what it is worth? What did you pay for it, that would be what is was worth to you at the time. Then go to KBB.com and look up since once it is titled in your name, it is no longer new, must be sold as used.

You shouldn't bid on something you don't really want. You didn't say where in Arizonia you live but I assume that it will be a warm dry winter. If so, and you can't afford a car and bike, sell the car and try the bike only thing for the time you are there.
