KBB values??
Sorry to say I sold my sportster
. It's been gone a week already and I'm getting antsy to ride. I'm looking at Roadkings and was wondering if KBB( kelly blue book) is about right what the going pricing is. I want to spend about 10 to 12 thous. Let use an example. 2001 RK approx 11400 value. It has 4000 miles on it. How much does the low mileage increase value?
500, 1000,2000?
Thanks

Agreed. I use the KBB Retail Value price as a "don't pay more than this" and usually a lot less. A good deal is halfway between the KBB Retail Value (high) and the KBB Trade-In value (low).

I think that you need to take both KBB who may be somewhat over inflated and NADA of which is somewhat under inflated. Add the 2 together, and divide by 2 and then add on some(10-15% for extras like low milage and custom stuff). I think that then you will have a very fair price of what the bike is worth, and it will not insult the seller. I heard that "they" say that 6300 is about average miles per year for a bike.

Heres an example on Craigslist.

05 Road King, low miles and about $2K below KBB.
$11,500 with some nice upgrades and not too far from Jersey.

Thanks for all the input. Well KBB and NADA are about a couple hundred from each other. The guy is asking more then the books are saying. But neither have any thing for mileage. With on 4000 miles on the bike how much value would it increase? Just a ball park.
Also are bikes selling around book values? I've been watching evil pay but bikes have not been selling and the ones that are, are not in my area.
