Well, I write this post with eternal sadness in my heart. I made a promise with my old lady years back that when we have a kid I will sell my Harley.
She's due in 6 weeks and is cashing that check.
Looking for honest answers. I'm in central Texas so riding season has a lot left this year. What can I ask and expect to get? Posting on Craigslist unless someone has better advice.
Thanks in advance!!!

Sorry for your lose. You shouldn't have any trouble selling that. That's a good lookin scooter. If you have a local dealer ask them for an appraisal. Congrats on the upcoming birth of your child.
From experience in dealing with the bloodsucking dealers I know they will low ball you. They don't care about accessories and will give you a line of bs about it being 2 years old and how they have to change the oil and run it through their bs 60 point inspection and all that horse ****. I say list it on Craigslist or even on the classified section within this forum. IMO if you can get 15K even for it, that's a good sale. Good Luck.

Presume that all the extras you installed add nothing at all to value...Unless you find somebody that wants all that and is willing to pay for it.
Market it saturated with used bike right now so be ready for low ball offers and/or sitting on it for a while...It’s @ buyers market right now, not a sellers market, unfortunately for you.
Sweet looking bike, hopefully your bike market is better than ours.
Will you return when they are older (or have you approached that subject) I did (could not stay away).?
Congratulations on the up and coming birth of your first child, kids are wonderful.
I am in the grand kids stage of life and loving it.
Sorry you're having to give up riding for the next 18 years! But congrats on being a new daddy.
Perhaps you should trade it in on a minivan? Go back to being the cager!
I get it, though..... riding is inherently more dangerous than a car, and your wife wants you around to help raise the young 'uns. I was lucky, didn't start riding til I was 44, with a wife 10 years older than me....and the kids are moved out with kids of their own. Phew.
Yea the wife is in the medical field so she is convinced of my inevitable demise should I keep the bike. The Harley's paid off, but we could always use the extra cash and the monthly budget space not paying for insurance will free up.
I most definitely will return some day. I'm in my early 30s now. I'm thinking late 40s I'll be back.
I would also say that $15K would be a good sale for you, given the glut of barely used bikes out there. You will have to wait for the right buyer to get that much though, so you might have to hold it over the winter. $13,500 should be a price that would allow for a pretty quick sale, if you are willing to let it go at that price. I know, it sucks when you HAVE to sell.
