Harley Davidson Ownership Costs

Here is a record of the running costs and ownership costs of my 2009 Harley-Davidson® Road King® purchased in July 2009.  I've just finished paying the second year's Registration and Insurances and this is included in the figures below as at 1 July 2010.  The total running costs for the first whole year were very close to $7,000.00

I'm also a bit of a consumer so I'll try to cost the extras like bits of chrome, engine upgrades separately so the costs of Harley bling are visible.   Too see the detailed costs involved in owning my last Harley for 7 months click here.
