That bike does catch your eye so good luck, maybe it won't sell and lower the price some.

Also have to chime in on finding bikes in far away places that can save you a thousand or two. Shipping or traveling to get the bike eats into the savings as well. Plus the fact that you damn near have to buy the thing without seeing it in person. Not worth it in my book. If I knew some yahoo was flying to see my bike I can assure you it would factor in my negotiation stance.

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.

Totally agree with ya here!!!!

OP in the end we are just looking and speculating on a picture and what someone trying to make $$ is saying about it. Anyone who has been around realizes how good/different things can look in a pic rather than in person. How long has it been for sale? Has he lowered the asking price on CL once already? Go check it out. Hope it works out for you!

There are things to factor in. Like it is a color that you like. It looks like it has been well cared for. Personally I would pay extra for a carbed EVO over anything else. If it has close to new tires thats a few hundred right there. And those whitewalls are not cheap. If I was looking for one like that I would jump on it and maybe offer $8,100 and see where that goes. Good luck.

I got my 95RK for 5,500. clean and worth every penny. I put 500 miles a week on her and all shes needed was gas and oil. Prices in AZ seem to be a bit lower on bikes so maybe looking in other places is a good idea. But if its what you want get it. Still cheap miles and fun you cant put a price on.
