To answer your thread title, yes.
Listing it for $9500 will do two things:
1. Turn potential buyers away from inquiring
2. Give you a great deal of room to come down on the price (30%)

Being a Springer instead of a Softail Custom or Softail standard adds value.
$9,500 is probably around fifteen hundred to two thousand too much with current market conditions.
Put it in the classified section of this forum.
Also list it on eBay with a reserve price.

I put $9500. Knowing that's hi-balling it and , in reality , expecting ( hoping ) for a couple K's less . Buyer feels like they got a deal and I can live with it . I came up with that number because it's what I would buy the bike for myself...( the 75 not the 95 )if that makes sense...

9500 on a springer around here is fair. 2 dealer withing 25 miles sold 1 in the fall at 11k. Its also a horrible time to sell one.. IMO 7k is the soft blow it out number

Why don't you just list it for a reasonable price, say $7700, and when they call you about it you can come down $500 on the price. They'll still feel like they got a decent deal.
Do you want to sell the bike or not? Let me rephrase that. Do you want to sell the bike in the next couple of months when you can get $7000ą or sell the bike in a couple of years when it will be worth less?

Theres a guy in my area with an 81 FLH asking $9500, bikes been up for sale for over a year, I asked him if he thought he should lower the price? He seems to think it will be a collectors item & stands firm.
well see how that works for him? I know guys with Evo`s that think they`re worth a fortune too - they might have worth but not for the prices I'm seeing.
The used bike market is over loaded & GREAT deals can be had, maybe price it where it will get interest - but wait until Feb or March? as was said tax returns might help you. Good luck

Just a casual FYI
I bought this 2001 chromed out Springer in April with a rare HD windshield and tons of extra parts such as seats and OEM wheels, etc for $5500. Never seen rain before I got it.
The price of older Harleys have really dropped off lately. 4 years ago you had a $10K bike.
