Per VINdown's modeling, the Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard retains an estimated 74% of its value after five years, ranking #246 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $15,199 it falls to around $11,216 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,983, about $2.18 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Harley-Davidson FXST Softail Standard bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
