Trade in
#11
New frame design, larger rear tire, increased load capacity... from 08 to 09. You probably researched all this already though.

Alright, you were right, I retract my statements on the differences on models. I rode a King with the new design and there is a noticeable difference. My apologies sir.

IMHO:
That's a great value for the trade.
Price on the RKC is a smidge high... but not out of line for a dealer.
You should keep the Fatboy AND buy the Road King.

I too have been looking at touring models so I have some experience. One other thing I would consider is ABS. Even if you have to save a little longer or shop a little more...

Just remembered a bike I have been considering, but am holding out for abs... If you dont care about ABS or do not need to do a trade in and can pay cash - this is a nice deal. Not a RK though, but a nice bike for a good price. Not a big deal, just fyi...

Well, the bike I rode today was a 2013 ember red sunglo and merlot RKC. They worked a similar trade value and came down on price with a stage 1 with a PCV, and Rinehart true duals which also includes a dyno tune. After my test ride it now has a whopping 11 miles on the clock. Wasn't looking at new until that one grabbed my attention.
