Default Should I trade my deuce?


Hey guys I was wondering, I have a guy that lives in the next town over... He had a 1999 electra glide ultra with 63, xxx miles on it. Due to medical issues he can no longer ride that big of a bike, so he is looking to trade it for a smaller Harley, I have a 2002 softail deuce with 24, xxx miles on it, and I am looking for a bigger bike, but I am not to sure if I want to go older, more miles, carb etc. What do you guys think?

There are tons of low mileage twin-cam touring bikes for sale out there at steal prices.

Thanks guys, I am pretty sure I will keep the deuce, I just don't know the value difference between the two so it is very helpful

Well, been watching deuces in socal for 6 months. The guys asking too much and many are, are still for sale. Some going down slowly.
The market is flooded here with softails. When I started to look I made an offer on a few. They refused my offer and now they are asking less.
Guys here are asking 8 to 14 for '01s. Its insane and they will never get it. Low mileage 2001 to 4 here sell for about 7 to 7.5

while the touring bikes are nice and have their moments, keep the duece for putting around. you're gonna get tired of the big bike for short trips.

That's a nice Deuce, and I like the color combo. I'd definitely keep it.
