Hi all.

I am prepping to list my 98 Superglide for sale. My riding style these days makes switching to a Road King more practical.

I haven't bought or sold a bike in over a decade and am wondering how the Evo market is for a seller these days. If I list it for a fair price will I sit on it for months? What are you guys that have bought or sold a bike lately seeing?

Thanks much!

 

If I was in your shoes, I'd start by getting an offer from RumbleOn, just to set the baseline.

 

Thanks Omaha. Great info. I did not know about Rumbleon. I just sent in the request for an offer.

 

If you don't mind sharing what they offered you I'd be interested in what they have to say.

 

Well, it's a good thing I have thick skin or rumbleon's $1500 offer would have insulted me. That gives me an idea of what I can expect on a trade in price at a used bike dealer. Won't be trying that.

 

Too many factors for me to give you a guess, but I would look at Craigslist and other websites to see what other people are asking for similar bikes. It would give you a general idea. I will tell you here in Mid Missouri it is a buyer's market right now and older Harleys are going pretty cheap. Alot of EVO's are going from $4k to $6k depending on the bike. Sometime in the future I want to buy an old EVO as a secondary bike, just not right now.

 

Keep something in mind what you may consider a fair price the going market may not. I'd look for comparable machines and maybe ask owners how long they've been sitting on them at that price. Around here that's a $4500-5000 motorcycle and the bay area tends to be on the high side.

 

I hope this will help:

Thanks guys. Thanks for all the links 01Dyna. I figured list it at $4600 while looking to get $4K. I think that's reasonable considering what I've seen for sale out there. I'm looking for thoughts on what the market is like right now, especially for Evos. Are they desirable or is everyone going after the TC bikes? I look at an Evo bike as something special now. Like the way I looked at the Shovels in the late 90's. Not sure how many riders out there think or know much about Evos anymore being that TC bikes have been the norm for 20 years.

@ 01Dyna Yeah, I like that Fatboy. I really like this Heritage, though. https://kansascity.craigslist.org/mc...879533417.html That's gorgeous.

I am hoping to snag an early TC88 white carbed police Road King, but I could live with other colors. I can even live with the RK not being a police version, but I want hard bags and a carb. I am seeing bikes that fit the bill with low miles in the $6K range.

I've been mulling this over for a few years. I almost feel guilty planning on selling this bike. As if I was planning on breaking up with a loyal, loving girlfriend so I can go out slutting around looking for something better.

 

If you get rid of that EVO for a Twinkie 88 then you are definitely not looking for something better!
It might be newer but it ain't better!!!!!
