Harley-Davidson FLSL Softail SLIM keeps an estimated 78% of its value after 5 years — #124 of 1113 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Harley-Davidson FLSL Softail SLIM retains an estimated 78% of its value after five years, ranking #124 of 1113 powersports vehicles we track. That is 3 points above the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Harley-Davidson FLSL Softail SLIM sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $16,949 it falls to around $13,152 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,797, about $2.08 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Harley-Davidson FLSL Softail SLIM bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
