Default Used value for Street Glide - will it come down?

Hey guys,
new to this forum. Sold my Deuce a few years ago and want to get back in the saddle some time this year. Really like the Street Glide. What is the general consensus out there: With the economy being what it is, will we see values of used Street Glides go down or do you think they will pretty much depreciate (as little) as they have in the past? Thanks for your thoughts!

i went from a duece to Street Glide 07 and you will love the difference. as far as price, i am sure with economy the way it is you should be able to find a great deal on one depending on where you look and how far your willing to go. try craigslist.com for a local search.

thanks for the quick response guys. over the last few months it seemed as if the prices on ebay and craigslist were still pretty steady... around $15k-$16k for an '06. was wondering if anyone had seen anything lower than that...

The prices are steadily falling on 88 Twin Cams. I've seen some nice bikes trade hands for in the 10k range.

craigslist Connersville, IN 07 10k miles $13700.00

ebay 06 1K miles Buy Now $16000.00

ebay 06 6K miles Buy Now $14300.00

I would not trade my 06 even for 07, IMHO the 06 is a better buy. Do a search on troubles with 07.

Do not want to start a big deal, I am just saying my 06 is a GREAT bike.

I suspect the '06s are going to be worth even less by next summer. The changes to the touring line overall since '06 have been monumental, everyone is going to want the 96/6-speed, and the bigger tank, and the ABS, and the new frame, etc., etc.

I'd go with at least an '07 unless you don't care about resale.

+1 - the 6 speed and bigger motor is a must have.

You are correct and I have to disagree with these guys. I think they will hold pretty good value. I don't see them tanking. The MotorCo is producing quite a few less bikes to help keep resale up. Plenty of guys have the 88s and 5 speeds. Shockingly they ride just fine. I don't see them tanking either because not everyone needs a six speed and all the goodies. They just want a Harley and 1 or 2k price deferential is enough to get a lot of folks to jump on board.
