You never get back what you put into it.

Ask yourself if you may regret selling it one day. If you hesitate - just keep it.

You can rarely expect to recover the extras $$$. Sometimes the "extras" decrease the value.
A stealer would ask $8200. Trade in about $6000. They sometime go for as cheap as $6200. I would ask $7500 if you need to move it fast. Remember the extras may mean a lot some some folks and to some its just something else to change. Your there you have to read that.

Your are posting on the internet so you have the ability to look at Edmond's, NADA, Kelly Blue book and others to get an idea of retail and private sell prices.

Opinions here are just that opinion's. The add ons do not add to the price in most cases.

Decide on a bike for you and your wife and get an idea from a dealer what the trade in will be. Then with the private sell info, if you have a buyer and they make too low of an offer you will have the ability to say no.

The dealers in my area use Edmond's wholesale for the trade in price. With a cherry bike and set up they will nudge up a little.
