www.kbb.com is a good motorcycle value site. Most pay somewhere between trade-in and retail and make that handshake happen. I wish I had bought a used HD and saved a ton of money way back when! BTW, have you ever owned a black vehicle before? Just wondering about that...

Is this your first bike? If so, you might find it a handful, weight-wise. Have you take a safety course? Does the bike have maintenance records?
