So do you all prefer evo's over the newer engines?

You showed me some great examples of road kings...they are all gorgeous considering they are 13-15 years old

Complete ready to go and needs nothing price @$8500 or get a cheaper bike that can take $2000 to $3000 to make it your own, I would get the complete bike that is a standout rather then the cheaper RK that looks like a daily commuter, they have way over $8500 in that bike. Harleys are a escape from the daily grind, no better way to escape expecially riding a kicka$$ bike so I'm on the other side of the fence.

RK's are flexable, can look sleek solo or load them with wife, wifes junk and run distance with some comfort. Evo engine adds soul to a RK and you will notice that right away. Will take a Evo RK over a $23,000 103" Street Glide any day, have rode both and a easy decision.

Bottom line is, that bike is gorgous - is it you.

Just looking into the future really. Won't do it until my house is paid off but that RK really caught my eye for sure.

That is a beautiful bike. You have to take Kelly, Nada, Black Book with a grain of salt as they don't get in to add-ons or color or condition. If that bike looked nice in real life and it passed an independent inspection by a dealer or Indy I would buy it in a second.

Black Book Powersports:
$5,665 - Finance Advance
$13,475 - MSRP Value
$8,285 - Avg. Retail
$6,385 - Auction Wholesalse
$6,075 - Clean Trade
$4,695 - Fair Trade
