Popped in to my local dealership the other day on the basis that this poster has been a poorly lad for some months and has just got the all clear so figured that 'hey, I only live once!' and fell upon the most beautiful thing I have ever see which was a 105th anniversary edition of I believe is teh Road King, she was in a burnt orange gold colour with more chrome that I have ever seen on a standard machine, and she had the screamin eagle 1800cc engine.
Sat on her and I at once liked the slightly lower screen compared to my Heritage Softail Classic and I did like tha hard style leather back boxes as opposed to bags; the only think I don't like is the crash bars (or whatever the HD wording is) at the front, I liked the cruise control, fly by wire and teh ABS brakes and teh chrome wheels; the screen price is £20,995 which is around $40,000 and by the time I have white walls and passing lights fitted I shall be closer to £22,000, I asked what my 2005 would be worth as a part ex (she has 2500 miles on with tons of extras) and they suggested around the 9k mark which seems low!
There is not another one available in the South West and I know I ought not but I can't get this beast out of my mind, I'm not even certain I can justify the cost as I still love my HSC. Fired her up yesterday, warmed up and went off for a 50 mile cruise in +3 c degrees full sun and loved it, I have always fancied though the bigger 1800cc 6 speed SE model.
Utterly confused:bigsmiley5:
