Road King Classic Seeks a New Home on the Open Road
Garage-kept with 20,000 miles on the odometer, 2007 Road King’s $9,500 price tag is a steal of deal for Harley fans.
Life has plenty of twist and turns for the Harley rider. Sometimes, that may mean adding a third wheel to the two-wheel extravaganza. There are reasons for this, from wanting to have a ride that won’t totally freak out anyone riding in back, to continuing to fly the Orange & Black well into retirement, despite one’s body not being what it used to be back in the day.
The latter is what has led Rick Craig — my dad — to sell his 2007 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic on Facebook Marketplace. He’s picked up a trike to ride around his old Kentucky home and beyond, and is looking to give his fine two-wheeler a new home on the open road.
This Road King has 20,000 miles, is kept in his garage when not on the road, and is in overall excellent shape. In fact, he put a fresh battery on the Harley only a few days ago, plus added fresh synthetic fluids, so no worries for the potential owner as far as near-term maintenance goes.
Other upgrades he’s made since buying it used from his local Harley dealership in 2013 include detachable windshield and backrest, French headlight ring, Rinehart chrome exhaust with black tips, braided cables, and an upgraded ECU. All of that, plus the miles of chrome and red, all rolling on a pair of wire wheels wrapped in whitewall tires, makes for one hell of a bike.
The Road King has seen so much since my dad bought it back in 2013, from toy runs to poker runs to long-distance treks to see friends and family. While it’s sad to see it go, it can be a happy time for the new owner. He’s asking for $9,500 or best offer. In the meantime, my dad will ride historic upon his MoCo trike for the rest of his days, enjoying all of the freedom three wheels can offer.
