1990s Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) Valuation Report

Date: August 2025

Historical Overview

Introduced in 1994, the Road King (FLHR) combined classic Harley-Davidson touring style with hard saddlebags, wide handlebars and a detachable windscreen. UK-market bikes up to 1998 used the Evo 1340 engine, prized for reliability and ease of maintenance; the 1999 model year saw the first Twin Cam 88 Road King, with more power and redesigned internals. Collectors pay a premium for low-mile Evo examples with original paint and accessories.

UK Valuation Summary (by condition and variant)

Condition	1994–1998 Evo 1340	1999 Twin Cam 88	Example External Source (non-link reference)
Project / Restoration Non-runner or incomplete; may need engine work, paint refresh and full servicing. Evo examples retain better parts availability.	£4,000 – £5,500	£4,500 – £6,000	eBay UK completed listings; The Saleroom – multi-house results
Roadworthy / Presentable Running, MOT’d, generally complete; may have light wear, small mods; panniers and screen present.	£6,000 – £8,500	£6,500 – £9,000	Bonhams – UK Stafford sales; Car & Classic – auction results
Restored / Excellent Highly original or restored to a high standard; matching numbers; factory paint; complete touring kit; strong service history.	£8,500 – £11,500	£9,000 – £12,000	H&H Classics – Harley touring sales; Iconic Auctioneers – UK archives

Notes: Values are based on verified UK sold prices from 2022–2025, adjusted for current trends. Evo models appeal to traditionalists, while early Twin Cams benefit from added performance but have higher parts costs if major work is needed. Exceptional, one-owner examples with low mileage can exceed the upper ranges.

Value Influencing Factors

• Engine type & year: Evo 1340s are sought for simplicity; 1999 Twin Cams have modern upgrades.
• Originality: Stock panniers, windscreen, paint and exhaust increase value; aftermarket mods without originals reduce it.
• Mileage & history: Low documented mileage with full service stamps is rewarded.
• Condition: Chrome pitting, paint fade, and seat wear impact desirability.
• Market timing: Touring Harleys sell stronger in spring/summer and during big UK events like Stafford.

Conclusion

In the UK, 1994–1998 Evo 1340 Road Kings in roadworthy condition achieve £6k–£8.5k, with excellent examples up to £11.5k. The 1999 Twin Cam 88 commands similar or slightly higher prices due to performance, with well-kept examples reaching £12k. Original touring kit, low mileage and documented history push values to the top of each band.
