You don't have a title? National advertising like ebay or forum classifieds won't get you very far! Like already suggested, if you want to expand your search for a buyer, spend the money and get a replacement title.

It's all about curb appeal, especially with an older bike. Park your bike with 10 others and watch people passing by, if yours draws attention then it will draw a better price. I had a citizen hunt me down at work last week wanting to know about one of mine, receptionist told them it belonged to the IT guy and they saw me with a PC.
People are lazy these days, want EFI, no maintenance, lots of bling and flash, old EVOs dont offer that so your buyers are gonna be guys who know bikes and they know not to pay too much, or people looking for second bikes-bar hoppers and they dont want to pay alot unless it's got motor work or custom options, or people with a tight budget and they certainlly want cheap.

But, the masses aren't with us and desirability for these bikes are at an all time low... Nick, here is what I would suggest [this is just one man's opinion, take it with a grain of salt] I have a buddy who has made a life out of getting more money for something than it should EVER be worth. So, if you got a little hot rod, in pristine factory condition, show it off! Tell the world WHY they want to buy this bike. If it sounds better than stock, do the video thing. Remember, the more agressive the sound, the more "manley" the bike. Then, if your not in a hurry, raise the price, get it up $6,500 or better. You know, a price to reflect the nature of this beast your trying to sell. Then...wait!
If that doesn't work for you, you have to fall back to marketing 101...If something doesn't sell, you have to lower the price!

. I assumed you had a title. That's going to hurt value as well. In MA you need a title, bill of sale not required. I still stand firm on the listing though. Write it to sell, make it stand out from the crowd. There's a lot of bikes for sale on nh craigslist.

I just looked up evos on craigslist and you have a ton of competition but it's all way overpriced or customized. You need to hit Boston Craigslist and maybe Worcester. Ma title law says 1990 and newer needs a title but I'm sure it will be fine if nh doesn't require the new owner will just get one when registering. Here's one more tip your listing is a week old no ones seeing it. You have to relist every couple days do it today with a nice write up then again Saturday morning. You'll get some hits

Most EVO's on CL here are priced in that range unless full molested and priced at owners ego. There are 2 FXR's for under 5k that are dang near stock. One is an 85 and another is a 93. I'm having a hard time resisting since everyone says they ride so great. But my Fatboy is no slouch in my own eyes. I figure 6k for mine but who know's in today's market.

Glad you got her sold. They may not be to popular, but there are old guys like me that could not afford them when they came out in 84, but fell in love with them. I bought my 99 5 years ago on ebay. Had to drive from Ks to Texas to get it, but greatest bike I have ever ridden. It only had 17,000 on it and now has 44,000.
