I got little tempted yesterday to trade in my bike for newer model 
. Looked at black book but it says you have to pay.
Man that Whiskey Fire in black looks so good.
If I get a good deal....then may be....
2016 FLHXS with 65,000 miles.

um you are wrong- dealers use BLACK BOOK. Blue book doesn’t exist in a dealership.

According to Tcrafty you will get between 11-12 depending where you live and the gross profit in the new deal for the dealer. Good Luck.

KBB for motorcycle prices has "See Trade-In Value" or "See Typical Listing Price"... and they have in my experience, been historically higher than the others, and often by a large margin.
I usually go by Black Book Powersports, but I also check JD Power motorcycle prices. In most cases, JD Powers is usually a little higher, by like $500-$800, than Black Book. However, lately I have seen some HUGE discrepancies between Black Book & JD Power pricing on certain years/models. I don't have a clue why that is...
