I really don't know much about V-Rods. From looking at this search, I think Beatz is close.

I would start at $8,000. You can adjust depending on how bad you need to sell. Personally I like to price low, so I don't have to sit through a bunch of buyers lowballing me.

In another month or so, it will be a much harder sell.
He only needs one person to like the Black/Silver Anniversary colors. It is still popular.

i ran the bike by the guy i always buy my bikes from. he sells all over the country and the world. he sent me black book(which is what a dealer uses) to trade a bike. the hard numbers from black book are as follows auction-4270, clean trade 4075, and fair trade 3460. he would buy a bike like that for 4-5000 and he would ask $7999 and take as low as $6500...take it for what its worth. he's a friend of mine and always shoots straight from the hip. so if you can get $7000 you're doing good

That sounds about exactly rite. How fast it sells will really come down to how well you write your ad, and photos. Be honest, but Really emphasize how pristine and unmolested it is, catch phrases like "Showroom Perfect", "Not A Scratch", "Older Gentleman Owned" "Temp. Controlled Storage", etc., can really hook some people. Don't use the photo you posted here. Take it out in some good indirect sunlight, get as low as you can and shoot up. Bike like this you are probably looking at one of two buyers, either a first time Harley Owner or someone moving up from an 883.

Be careful about "Buffing" the bike. The clear coat that Harley used is not that thick. The silver anodized finish is not paint but true anodized aluminum. Buffing anodized aluminum will ruin the finish.
