2000 Harley Davidson FLHR/FLHRI

Pros: Made in USA, Unmistakeable Harley Exhaust Note, Plenty of Chrome (if you pay extra)
Cons: Underpowered, drab paints, expensive accessories most riders buy to be satisfied with appearance, overall overpriced.

For the people who want to buy American, we still have the Harley Davidson line of motorcycles. The Harley-Davidson Road King is truly a luxury bike for the big-twin enthusiast. My neighbor recently bought one of the 2001 models. Including chrome and...

Pros: Comfy seat, shiny chrome
Cons: Engine, handling, weight

So I have two mental lists. One of motorcycles to own before I die, and one of motorcycles to ride but not own. The Harley Davidson Road King has historically fallen someplace in the middle, since I have always been sort of attracted to its versatility...

Pros: A great versatile bike.
Cons: Brake pedal placement

Many moons ago, I wished that one day I would own a Harley-Davidson. I liked the Electra Glides but I didn't want the bulky dashboard. Then in 1994 Harley came out with the Road King. They did it before I could. Finally I decided to go for it and...

Pros: Great riding bike
Cons: Could be better finished

I am currently on my 6th Harley since 1992. The reason I buy so many is because I ride them a lot, I don't like to put more than 15 to 20 thousand miles on a bike in a year, it makes it hard to sell. At this time I own a '99 FLHR, and it is the bike...

Pros: Excellent styling, craftsmanship and cruiser performance.
Cons: High Price and dealer markup

I recently upgraded my older Sportster 1200, for a 2001 Road King.I had No Problems with the Sportster and believe Harley quality has come a long way.Ive put about 500 miles on the New Road King and so far it has met all my expectations. The windshield...

Pros: 100% resale value,Elbow-pulling torque, eternal class, people-magnet.
Cons: Not an entry-level purchase ($$$$$), an addictive passion, get wife's OK first!

I purchased an '01 FLHRI. Although still new, it has satisfied my expectations of quality, power, and value. I added a Stage II Big-Bore kit with SE203 cams, Hooker exhaust, SE air cleaner, PD handlebars, chrome controls, luggage rack and backrest, oil...

Pros: Cool touring bike that lives up to HD name
Cons: Doesn't take bumps too well

I was lucky enough to ride one of these Road Kings into the West Texas Davis Mountains and down through Big Bend. All said and done, I did about 1600 miles in three and a half days. This bike took the trip very well. The new 88ci is great! On a long...

Pros: Great price and affordable to ride. Cushiony ride. Just like a cadilac.
Cons: Little hard finding any parts for it because of its age.

Hey I ran across the deal of a life time. 5 Years ago my husband and I was told about a 1975 harley for sale for $4500. I said no way, it had to be a basket case or a real small harley-davidson. So for curiousity I said, set up a time we can go and...

Pros: Resale Value
Cons: NONE

This is my 3rd Harley in 3 years. Ride a Road King, you will be hooked. I prefer a carb model over fuel injection. There have been to many problems with Harleys fuel injection,(just check with your local Police Depts.)You can do more with a carbed bike,...

Pros: resale and riding
Cons: none that I know of

I love harleys I haven't riden one for a while now but I never had any problems that couldn't be fixed. One of the best parts I always loved about Harleys is I could sell them for what I paid or for more after at least 5 years owner ship. I have traveled...

Pros: Looks, braking, name recognition, nostalgia, nice garage ornament
Cons: Cost, power, handling

I rented a Road King for a long three-day weekend and put about 1000 miles on it. I had already rode most of the 1500 class cruisers in demo rides, but I have wanted a big Harley-Davidson for the last 17 years and was determined to buy a Road King. I...
