2000 Harley-Davidson FLHRCI Road King Classic reviews

The bike is dialed in and fun to ride. Shifting is smooth and power constant when getting on the throttle. It was tuned and dyno'd by the best mechanic on the west side and ready for a new home. Personally, I'd repaint it and ditch the monkey bars. A straight bar would serve the bike well and with only 7k original miles, it's a deal. Ride it like you stole it or go easy and cruise. Tons of fun. Show less

I have had no issues with mine., other that brakes and a brake line leak. It has been very dependable. My main dislike is the seat leaves something to be desired. We have been riding since 1976, started on a Kawaski 440 LTD. Way to small for two people. Went to a 2002 Springer and moved to the Ultra. Weight takes some time to adjust to, smooth on the road, never bogs down on a hill. Will chug long all day long. Show less

I received this bike for Father’s Day from my grandson’s other grandfather. He didn’t ride anymore and he knew I’d always wanted a Harley. He called and said, “Come and pick up your Harley. Happy Father’s Day. He’d bought it new for $19995 in 2000 and ridden it just 2800 miles. He kept it garaged (an air conditioned garage). He told me to pick up a battery in the way. He hadn’t started it in a while because the battery was dead (apparently they don’t last 22 years). We dropped in the new battery and by the third crank that baby started right up. I dropped it off at an independent Harley / Chopper shop for a once over, change the 22 year old oil/tranny/primary fluids, and put on new tires. It’s like the bike had been in stasis for two decades. Runs like new. Show less

I sold an FX in 1982 and waited until 2010 to do it again. I love it. The Heritage has the best of everything - bags, windshield, foot boards. It's a great short trip cruiser and you can spend the day in the saddle. I really like the low seating - you're in the bike not on it. Show less

Had a mid-life crisis, told the wife, I needed a Harley. Got the bike and can't stay off it. Road my brothers bike 30 years ago, finally got my own. Everything is great. Ride, sound, maintenance, reliablity, whoaaaa! She's a dream. Should'a bought her years ago. Although she is used, the previous owner/s took great care of her. She's Aztec Orange Pearl, just like the pix, except Fatboy slotted rims. Wife and I ride 2up on weekends, planning bike trips everywhere, praying for more daylight. Show less

I bought the bike used. With ALL the miles and hours I've spent in the saddle.....I can't say I've EVER had a discouraging moment. I get 44mpg---the acceleration and drive is GREAT! Comfort is Superb! It corners very well. My previous 6 bikes were liked....but NOT like a Harley. I've been driving for 35-yrs and can honestly say......IF there's anything wrong with this bike.....well I'm not aware of it. YES---it's heavy....and that takes some getting used-to. But when that learning curve's done and over with....SUPER BIKE!!!!!! Show less

I had a '97 Sporty as my first bike (you get what you can afford before you get what you want) but I have always liked the looks and comfort of the King. I only have two complaints!First is Harley's handling of the camshaft bearings (mine is okay for now). Second is the noisy transmission, this thing sounds like it is coming apart when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I love my ride and it will be part of my life for a long time to come! Show less

What a bike. It does everything I ask it to and more. My 9th bike in 20yrs. and truly the most functional and fun. Show less

I have riden many metric crusiers, and have owned two softails. But the roadking takes the cake in handling,looks,and performance. It is absolutley a blast to ride.I find that the roadking is built solid with the highest quality factory parts.If you ever get the chance to rent or own a roadking you will not be disappointed.Thats a promise.
