Default Craigslist Priceless Collectors Bike of the Week

"Extremely rare Collectible Bike"

...as usual, it's not mine, don't know the seller, never seen the bike. Somehow I think the seller may be a tad optimistic.

I might think about it if it came with a cape and a cane

I'd pay 6k for it, but I'm an Evel fan.

So hilarious. What are Evel Knievel autographs going for? I looked around, basically $50 to $250 on the high end.

So basically this is an autographed bike. Take a standard 1998 softail and add $50-$250, thats what is worth.

"Piece of history", what a crock! He never rode a softail, and he certainly never rode this one.

As an EK fan I have to say that is cool. Never knew anyone created a series like that. Sounds to me that there are 49 more of these rare bikes out there!!!!

I also think it should only have about 100 miles on it to even try and expect a premium.

I would not surprise me if he finds a buyer at a price higher than most all of us would pay.

all the custom bikes (regardless if autographed or not) are losing value faster then anything I've seen! My uncle has a 2006 BigDog and he would be lucky to get 5k in todays market.

Sounds like another case of the wife unit wanting it out of the garage so he prices it over the top so it won't sell.

The bikes not worth much, if the Title doesn't say HD, the value is in the toilet. Add to that the bike is butt ugly, nothing I would want to own or ride.

If you want something from Evel, find something small that he signed to hang it on the wall.
