Change Roadster 2010 to HD Road King Classic EFI 1999

[goncallf]

Hi guy,

I have 2 Roadsters, one of 2010 (48000kms) and one 2015 Roadster X. I pretend to sell old one and stay with the X.

I was contacted by a guy with a 1999 Road King Classic 88 Inch EFI with 35000km whether I want to make the change because he can´t follow his friends on tour lololol.

Want do you thing?

It's a good deal?? It's easier to sell the Road King than the Rocket?
Here some photos of the Harley:

I'm not sure about the value in Portugal, but maybe it is a good trade if the RK is in really good shape. Yes it is older but the resale value tends to be better on a Harley than our beloved Rockets. Take a good look at it first.

Im partial so other then the price of short iron I see no use for a road king.

Thank you guys for the replies. I have read and talked with an Harley expert about that this model (1999) and everything point some issues in this year.
So I would stay with the rocket.

Yes indeed. Harley did not get the twin cam right until about 2009.

Twin cam 88 came out in 99.

No it actually appeared in 1998. Was released as a 99 model.

I wouldn’t go any older than 2009 on a RK. A major frame change in that year was a big improvement.

one of my work mates has one of these...we did a bike swap fo the ride home some time ago...he came off the rocket with the biggest smile on his face. I couldn't wait to get back on my bike....all I remember is shaking like a leaf at the traffic lights with the vibration. I'd hate to spend the whole day on that!
