Question I am selling my Harley

I have a 2009 FLHTCUI , Hot Sunglow Red & Smokey Gold. I will be selling it when I buy a new 2016 in August. It is in great shape, new tires, Vance & Hines stage one, with Fuel Pack. I still have one year left on the extended warranty that the dealer said can transfer to new owner.
My question is how much can I sell it for? I am the original owner. My problem is that I have 112, 000 miles on the bike.

May as well keep it as a backup with those miles on it. I'm not so sure it'd be worth selling. Can't hurt to list it and see what kind of offers you get, though.

You are correct.. There are lots of them out there that only have 30K or less and people wanting to upgrade. All I can say is run it for sale at what you want for it and know what you will take. Price depends on area...

I would trade it in if you can. Tough sale with that many miles.

This but then you might take a big hit with that many miles too.

A 6 year old bike with 100K miles is a tougher sell considering there are probably a dozen garage queens you will be competing with. Take it from me, what you think it is worth and what people will offer you will be pretty different (you will probably think around $12K, offers will probably be $8K). But at least be happy you have a new one on the way!

Whatever you end up getting for your bike, at least you know with that mileage, you really got your moneys worth out of it.

If you trade it in, the dealer will wholesale it out because they can't offer an extended warranty on it (over 75,000 miles). A private sale will be tough because there are so many out there with far less miles.


In my opinion, if you can afford it you are better off keeping it than accepting what someone else is willing to pay for it. Helps to keep the miles down on the new bike too.


It's tough having two of the same model bike, maybe you can make a trade / deal with someone for a Dyna or Softail to have something different to ride.

I'd keep it for a project bike. Would make one hell of a cruiser when you strip some of the stuff off of it.
