Default just said good-bye yesterday......

to my 2000 Rk. I bought an 05 UC in August and finally sold the RK yesterday. Even though I got 13,500 for her which I thought was pretty good it still left a twinge in my stomach to see her go off down the street with another guy on her.....Seems I always hate to see my bikes leave!

Getting 13,500 for a 200 RK should make you feel very good!

I agree,$13,500 should have you dancing the jig as he rode off.Those guys don't come along very often

I had my Heritage listed TWICE before I finally sold it. I kept going out to my garage and starin' at her... Couldn't let her go, then I had to leave it at my dads place in Montana and sold it while it was up there... Never saw it go, but still miss it every now and then...

I had a good feeling seeing my 1200 custom leave. I sold it to a soldier in Italy, his dad showed up with the money, and off he went to put it up till this past November when the soldier came home. We talked via email, and it was my best selling experience.

I know the feeling, when I watched mine go down the drive and leave out of state. At least it went out of state, and I only lost 1K over what I originally paid. And the replacement even though I was without a ride for a month, is shall I say FANTASTIC. I am, so far not missing the original.
