Don't trade it, sell it outright if you want the best money that you can get for it.

it's worth what someone is willing to pay, market price you would take a super big hit. ballpark I would guess 15k-17k but don't cry

"YOU CAN"T HAAAAAANNNDLE THE TRUTH!!!!"..( sorry, couldn't resist)...seriously...the way I see it is there are really 2 prices the bike is worth..one is QUICK SALE PRICE where you could get rid of it super fast...I'd say that price is around 12-13K...then there is the FAIR PRICE..where you put it in some local ads, and Craigs List, or even E-Bay, and take maybe a month to sell it and wait for a good offer that you like...I'd say that price is 15,500.....good luck, personally I would keep it and be happy...I am NEVER buying brand new again....even if I hit the lottery...so much out there at bargain prices, and already tuned, chromed, etc...
