Harley-Davidson Fat Bob and Sportster Forty-Eight shine with high residual value

According to Schwacke led the Harley-Davidson Fat Bob tops the residual value list with 75.2%, followed by the Sportster Forty-Eight with 74.6%. Followed by the Ducati MTS 1200 with 66.8% and the BMW R 1200 GS with 65.5%.

The runners-up are not at all comparable in terms of model type and the fact that BWM is in fourth place with its top dog, the R 1200 GS, is somewhat surprising, as it is the model with the most new registrations in 2012. Buyers may prefer to buy a new machine rather than a used one, the difference of almost 10% less, compared to the best Harley, is pretty hefty. 

Harley-Davidson Fat Bob

Harley-Davidson always takes a close look, and it's often worth talking to Harley dealer, New machines are always attractive when the used market price for the model you want is very high. Supply and demand always regulate this, and with these two Harley models, demand is always very high! It is fair to say that especially the Sportster series have developed enormously in recent years, really great models that even look perfect off the shelf. The 1200cc engine is very powerful, the compact design of the Sportys and the good handling are the outstanding arguments of the popular Harleys.

Perhaps the Fat Bob and Forty-Eight models are particularly well cared for and nurtured by their owners!
