New or used 2014 F6C?

I had a 98 and a 99 Valkyrie great all around bike better looking than a 2014. But you have 6 carbs that you have to worry about if you drive it offen and store it right no problem. If you don't you have to clean those 6 carbs which can cost $1000 if you take it to a shop. Plus the other problems that come with a older bike. I love the old Valk's.
The new Valkyrie is new, it's a better bike than the older ones and no carbs to worry about.
It rides and handles better, better MPG, the new will have a 3 year warranty.
I would go new unless the used 14 is a lot cheaper. These bikes at less than $10,000 is a great deal.
If you want more of a show bike buy the 2003.

I remember when the 2014 came out . I quickly warmed up to how different it looked, but NEVER liked the look of the rear fender as seen from the side. I knew it would need hard bags so it's not an issue. It pretty much blows away the older valk in all things performance. I decided I wanted ABS , there are a few out there new. I lucked out and found one with two years left on the warranty with 2100 miles at a great deal . The fact that I only had to drive fifty miles to pick it up sealed the deal. it was in immaculate condition as the PO was very picky. So look around ! Every so many years a deal will pop up on new leftovers. These bikes are the best deal out there on a Big bike period !

Thanks for this valuable info. I'm torn between the 2003 based on the looks of those carbs but leaning towards the new 2014 for practical reasons.

It's a bike. Don't let the practical reasons get in the way of your choice mate. I will say one thing though, ride both. If you have the same feeling I did I had bought the bike (2014 Valk) in the first 100ft of that test ride and it had little to do with looks.
