You didn't mention how much you got in it. If you got it cheap, you could do anything with it. get it running, throw on knobbies, do back flips, extend swingarm, hill climb. Stud the tires, ice race, on and on. Currently looking for one myself cheap to do just that.

I'm curious. Why would that be? They hard to come by in Canada or something? Wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference in values.
i wish it worked that way LOL if that was the case i could sell my sporty for $8k and buy the used dyna i been craving. unfortunatly for me it aint economical to sell this sporty, i got almost $8grand in it now includign initial buy cost. i migth get lucky to get $5 grand for it unless i conned some newb into buying my custom chopper for a steal of a deal at X dollars LOL

the biggest thign is the name on the tank. and and when guys buy new bikes or upgrade they are 15-50% more for the same new bike in the us. also some guys figure they spent $3k on the bike x numbeer of years ago and put $3k in chrome and upgrades of those years the bike should be worth $6k in there mind.
