2020 Harley-Davidson Flhr Road King 1745 19 1.7L Petrol · GU20 JWD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward mechanical attention. In the most recent test on May 7, 2026, at 13,534 miles the tester noted a slight fluctuation of effort in the rear brake. This represents a departure from the clean record seen in May 2025, suggesting that the braking system is beginning to show signs of age despite the low overall mileage. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,256 miles per year. Between May 2023 and June 2024, the bike covered only 245 miles, indicating long periods of minimal use. However, a surge in activity occurred between June 2024 and May 2025, where 1,442 miles were recorded. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the long intervals between use can lead to fluid degradation or seal drying if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system, as it was flagged as noisy in both the May 2023 and June 2024 tests. This recurring fault suggests an internal baffle issue or loose heat shields that have not been fully addressed by previous owners. The recent rear brake fluctuation noted in the 2026 test requires a close look to ensure the caliper is not sticking or that the master cylinder is not contaminated. Given the low mileage, also check the tyres for flat spotting or age rot, which often occur on motorcycles that are rarely driven.
