What Buyers Should Know
Premium Audio System
The Roadmaster Elite features a 200-watt Rockford Fosgate Stage 2 audio system with 4 speakers, one of the most powerful factory-installed systems in any touring motorcycle. This is a standout feature that significantly contributes to its premium price tag.
Strong Resale Value
As a limited-production flagship model, the Roadmaster Elite holds its value better than most touring motorcycles, often retaining 70-80% of its value within the first two years. Low production numbers keep demand high among collectors and enthusiasts.
Watch Electrical Complexity
The Elite's advanced electronics, including heated seats, front camera, and infotainment system, can develop connectivity and software glitches over time. Always verify all electronic features are fully functional before purchasing a used example.
