2001 Road King Classic what is it worth?

[RoadKingRon]

2001 Road King Classic Luxury Rich Red Metallic. 8 thousand original miles Looks like Brand New and has been stored when not ridden. What is it worth?

[05fatboy95]

$8-10k depending the market where u live. Around here (mn) the market is flooded with low mile bikes. Just my 2cents if it's even worth that...

[masstch]

I would say 10K. There seems to be a 'floor' at 10K for Twin Cam touring models. It seems like any of them will bring ten especially with those low miles. Softails bottom around 9 it seems. Evos will be 6~8.

using a west Houston zip code - KBB says:

trade in value: $6810

retail: $9315

Just for comparison, I had to lower the price of my 2001 Ultra that I sold last year, to $6,000.00. But it did have 78,000 miles on it.

Not one of the best years for touring bikes .
The  MM EFI isn't sought after . And neither are carb bikes . JMO

[dakota224]

about $8500 is maximum I would pay..

[Big Cahuna]

NADA lists it's sale prices to be between $6700 and $8800, but that depends on condition. Most would be willing to pay more for less mileage, but a bike that's been sitting can have issues. Bikes of that era had a mix of fi motors, which can be a limiting factor if you plan on doing Hi-Perf motor work. The carb versions are pretty much bullet proof. I've owned 2 carbed bikes, 1 MM fi bike, and 1 Delphi fi bike, and didn't have any problems with any of them. Minor oil leaks, replaced tires as needed, and a occasional battery was about all that they needed besides oil changes and plugs. If it's what you want, pay what feels right to you.,,

...........OH? Dang Gracie's (2001 FLHR)'s feelers are hurt! Lemme run out into the garage and grab my screw gun - maybe I can hook it up and try to dial back some of these 184,400 miles that are currently on her clock...........(no I aint claiming we haven't repaired a few items along the way hehehehehe)

I looked at a 98 R-King dealer had with a friend looking for good used bike . This one fit the deal. until i looked closer and seen it had the MM FI.  If it had a carb we would have checked it out more. So carb is king   for  both of us.

around here we would get about 10k for it,, the low..low miles will help fetch a premium,, there are a "Potty mouth" ton of used roadkings out there tho,, everybody is switching to FLHX's,, notice that HD is down to 1 RK model...

Tell Gracie . Nothing personal . It's just the way it is . Time marches on .

I have an'01 FLHRCi myself.... I converted it over to Delphi injection.

Stroker my post was totally for humor - but WHY do I keep reading about the '01s & '02s having some of the strongest cranks of the TC era?

And *slight digression* - I couldn't count how many 'bagger wobble' threads I've read and how to 'fix' them with this product or that product.............surely I'm not just incredibly lucky to not have had that problem? (except for when pulling my trailer at high speed which is of course a completely different animal)

I don't know why they are considered better . Maybe the Timken .
I don't see any crank problems . So it doesn't matter to me what year it is .
It more if a Internet problem .

I ride diff year bikes all the time . I can get em all to bobble / waddle .
Some at much lower speeds than others .
It not a question of do they waddle . It's at what speed / angle they waddle .
When I see someone say thy have never felt them waddle , I just assume riding hard to them is diff than riding hard to me .
I was joking about Gracie's feelings too . 

[BUBBIE]

I owned a early 1/2 year 2000 FXDS... Some (mine) had a bad heat treated crank pin and would peel off the Slivers...  Yes they seemed to hold up much better on the crank, Tough and Straight... Then the HD $$$ saving Drop of the Timken bearing... Not good in my book...

OH Yes,,, That Luxury Rich Red is a Beautiful color and if in good shape will sell better than most other colors...

signed....BUBBIE

If I were looking to buy it, it would be worth more to me if it had a carb rather than the MM efi.

[YFOPOS1]

Paid $7500. or $8000.  for my 02 RK last summer and it had about $3500. worth of extras with just under 11k on it.
I know trade in value that $3500 would mean maybe $500
Over time I would of done or had done everything that was on it. So that alone saved me close to that amount.
Chrome front end, mini apes, braided lines tach/speedo combo for starters...

Made me sick to sell my FB after my back surgery for what I had into it and only getting what I got... 
But such is life...

[sfmichael]

yep 9-10K

a dealer would likely get ten, probably a little harder for an individual to command top dollar.
sold a really clean '02 over a year ago for $9200 but with 38K miles...but it was mint and well maintained and had the stuff done that a bike with those miles should have

you buying or selling?

I did post a bit incomplete - I did have a bad wobble at about 40 mph early in Gracie's life..........replaced that small link in between the top of the cylinders and that was cured............first few years I've had Gracie I lived in Denver and 'carved' my share of canyon twisties (certainly NOT at 'crotch rocket pace' but plenty aggressive for a bagger up to and including throwing a few sparks)..........I would notice an occasional minor 'wiggle' if adjusting speed or line mid corner - but never an all out scary type of wobble...........only had those when being to abrupt changing speed while dragging my little trailer (scary stuff and the only cure I ever found in the moment was more throttle)

I had an '01 RK Classic a few yrs back.  Never had any problems with the M&M F.I. and all and all it ran pretty good.  Took me to the 100 yr. H.D. celebration in Milwaukee without a hitch other than the gel pad I had to get while up there cause my Corbin seat was killin' my azz.
