Having a lien on it should not matter when selling it. It also does not matter what you paid for it. You can advertise it free on here when you get five more posts (I think). There are several places to advertise free online. You can advertise it in the newspaper, etc. If you don't feel good handling the sale yourself, your dealer will sell it on consignment for you and you might get more than selling it back to him.
I do agree with will2002 that you should wait a few days and sort things out before getting in a panic and doing something that you might regret later. That bike is a 2010 and probably will not depreciate any more over the next six months than it has already. Good luck.

1st, bummer. My heart goes out to you both. Better times are on the way.
2nd, never take a personal check, EVER. I don't care who calls from the bank, Cashiers checks and Bank drafts are just okay. imo.
I've seen too many times a personal check, and sometimes even bank drafts, cancelled, after delivery. And then, whether it's legal or not, you have no money and the rider/mtorcycle is in another country. And an argument starts needing legal help, and the profit goes down the pooper, and blah, blah....
SO, there is NO WAY I would ever sell anything of real value, such as a motorcycle-car-boat that can be driven off into the sunset, without having a wire transfer completed.
Wire Transfers are currently the only safe way, or rather a much, much safer way of getting your money, short of CASH of course, which is really what a wire transfer boils down to. Once you have it, you have it.
(please, this is just my experiences with high ticket items, so.................)

I will have to come off this 2010 and most likley my 2002 flht, the drop in weekly income will run out our savings quickly, the only good side is we are all helthy.
Anyone with Ideas please post, I'm trying not to make any quick moves but looking for options.

If you have a 2002 FLHT (free and clear of liens), sell the FLHT at a reasonable price, pay off the 2010 and you should have some funds left over to put in the bank and still keep the 2010.

I agree with Cruise Carter. If the numbers work out at least you'll own the 2010, and then see what happens. Better to keep the bike with a warranty also.

If you have the time, a good option may be hang out at the dealership with a FOR SALE sign on it with a price listed. As buyers come out with sticker shock, they may see a new, used bike as a better option!
Look at their webpage and see when they are hosting weekend dealer events - that'll draw a decent sized crowd and maybe some lookers.
Good luck.
