Once Harley's V-twins began to get larger, the company played into this more and more, and with the introduction of the overhead-valve 1200 FL series in 1941, touring was destined to play a major part in Harley's future. Touring FLs were integral to the range up to the present day; landmark models such as the Electra Glide playing a role, with engines changing over the decades. By 2010, tourers such as this FLHRC Road King Classic were equipped with all the bells and whistles, and powered by the new generation of 96 cu. in. (1585cc) Twin Cam engine. HD55 USA was purchased by the owner in August 2011 (purchase invoice on file). At its next service, in July 2012, the mileage was 2072. Serviced again, and MoT'd in August 2014, the mileage had increased to 2889. Thereafter, the mileage covered between MoTs appears to be only that needed for the test itself. It was last MoT'd in August 2024, and the present mileage is 3, 006. It has been kept in a very good environment throughout, and the present excellent condition is commensurate with that low mileage and careful storage. It is equipped with panniers, and all the accoutrements one would expect on such a high-spec. model. It has also been set up with the aid of a dynamometer, and is ready for use by a new owner. A duplicate V5C has been applied for, and should be in place by the time of sale. Other documents comprise some expired MoT certificates, the aforementioned service invoices and purchase invoice, the owner's manual, and sundry papers. The bike is presently on SORN.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
