Well Harley has produced so many "thrown together" bikes that it has become a buyers market. I bought a used 2000 wide glide with 1200 miles on the clock in 2001 for 18,900.00 In 2007 I bought a brand new January through march custom colored road king classic with 12 miles on the clock for 18355.00, but out the door was around 20000.00 and now I would be lucky to get 10,000.00 out of it, should my bike and I ever part ways.

EPA has an emissions exemption on 25 year old vehicles (though who knows how long that will last). So 1991 seems safe.

I've had a '15 Heritage on CL all summer. Currently listed at 13K with 150 miles on the odometer. I can't even get a call on it and I feel like I'm giving it away. The market SUCKS right now.

Why in the h*ll would you buy a bike and only put 150 miles on it? My buddy bought a Road Glide new in 13 and sold it this year with less than 500 miles for 13,500. I asked him the same question and he told me that he works too much to ride. What a shame to sell without enjoying it first.

Take it easy guys! It's my wife's bike (her fourth actually) and she has lost interest in riding her own.
