Of course they would trade for your RK. Choppers are out and baggers are in. Yours is worth more now and will be worth more in the future. He's probably wanting to trade so he can have a bike he can actually ride. No way would I do it

Me either. I want a bike I can ride....and walk after riding it. I agree with scott, I think your bike would be worth more as well. I'm not a chopper fan. They look cool, but the ridability is limited.

yeah was thinking similar, not much versatility out of that bike. couple changes it would look neat

new bars with no pullback
new exhaust and seat

but it does have me thinking.

There is no way I would trade. However, the decision is yours to make. What do you use your Road King for? If it is just used for bar hopping, maybe I would reconsider. Otherwise, no.
