Okay, so I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the value of older Harleys, specifically the 2001 Road King. So, I decided to dive in and do some digging of my own, figured I’d share what I found.
First thing I did was hit up some online forums. You know, those places where all the motorcycle guys hang out and chat. I started reading through old threads, seeing what people were saying about their own 2001 Road Kings, what they paid, and any issues they had.
Then, I checked out some of the big online marketplaces. I looked at completed listings to get a feel for what these bikes were actually selling for, not just what people were asking.
My Little Research Journey
- Browsed online motorcycle forums for owner experiences.
- Scoured completed listings.
- Compared prices across different regions.
After that, I started to notice some patterns. Bikes in certain parts of the country seemed to be going for more than others. Condition was obviously a HUGE factor. A pristine, low-mileage Road King was commanding a much higher price than one that had been ridden hard and put away wet, you know?
It’s all pretty basic stuff, really. Supply and demand, condition, location… the usual things that affect the price of, well, anything. I still need collect more information and have more conversations, I just share a preliminary practice and I wanna share something else in the next blog!
