Default What is Wifes bike worth

My wife is considering moving to a Heritage.&nbsp\\; She has a 2007 1200 low sportster with 2000 miles on it.&nbsp\\; It has a Memphis Shade windshield with Harley frame and quick release. It also has detachable Sissy bar and luggage rack.&nbsp\\; It also has engine guard and Kuryakyn L.E.D. fast blinking tail lights.&nbsp\\; It also has a Sundowner and stock seat.&nbsp\\; It is two tone Black and White.
It is in great shape but aren't they all.&nbsp\\; In ideas of price will be appreciated.&nbsp\\; I am going to try and sell it myself instead of trading a dealer.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks &nbsp\\;

take the accessories off and blow them out on Ebay......they rarely if ever add value to the bike on resale.....

Thank you everyone for your replies.&nbsp\\; I think you all are right.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Bike needs to be between 8-9 K to make me somewhat happy.&nbsp\\; I live on a busy hwy and have had good luck selling things in the yard.&nbsp\\; I sold a 36 foot motorhome two years ago when the gas started going up so I guess I can sell this bike.&nbsp\\; Thanks again.

See what they would give for trade in , you might be surprised. going from a sportster to heritage.
remember too you only pay taxes on the difference of trade in and new bike.

I agree with the others that you should sell all the accessories on EBay. I would not hold my breath though to get $8,000 for the bike as dealers are selling used 2007's around here for around $7500 or less. Best of luck and try to see what they would do in trade in
