Default RE: Bike Value?

...look at comparable bikes on cycletrader, e-bay and craigslist., that will give you a idea of about a realistic price..lot's of stuff for sale. I think harley sold about 300,000 03's so there are plenty out there. This sounds like a nice bike..but I'm always a little leary of a bike with performance mods and mileage..a lot of bikes with performance mods get run hardafter upgrades especially just before sale. My quess wouldbeask $17500..hopefully you will get $16500 or so. Look for someone upgrading,not buying first harley.

Yea, that's what he will have to do. I am trying to convince him to put it into the classified section here on the Forum but he doesn't have a bottom dollar yet.
Oh well, we'll see.
Thanks for all the feedback and opinions that everyone provided. It was very interesting to see all the different views.

If I were selling this, I would pick a bottom figure (say $17,500) and use that as a reserve price on Flea-Bay. If it doesn't sell, he can re-list it for no charge and hopefully have gotten more feedback as to value and lower the reserve or keep the bike knowing that he can't get what he wants out of it.

Well, he put it on e-bay so now we get to see what kind of $$ it will bring.

Should be interesting if nothing else.
Thanks again for all the feedback!

Default RE: Bike Value?UPDATE

Just wanted to let you know that it sold for $17,000.00.
Somebody in Los Angeles got a good deal on a good bike IMHO!
Thanks for the opinions everybody!

My guess is that one party is going to walk away with $ 15K and the other will ride away with a sweet deal.
I highly doubt that anyone will get this bike for 15k.
He is not looking to give it away![sm=WTFsgign.gif]
Helucked out!Typically $17K is high out here, worked used bikes seem to be a dime-a-dozen. I'm glad he got 2K over book.
