1983 xls value
Depends on where you are, and if you can find a buyer. Where i am people selling bikes have not yet clued into the way prices have dropped in the last few years. You can get a brand new Sporty for, what, about $8000? And guys are asking that for their 5 and 10 year old bikes.
Most guys do not want an ironhead because of the high maintenance required. Or they might buy one unwittingly. So you have to find a buyer who really wants one, or who thinks it is just another motorcycle.
What it is worth and what it will sell for are not the same. I am certain that mine is worth $5000, but i doubt that any buyer would be willing to pay more than $3500. And i would have to work to find that buyer.
