My 82 year old friend just bought an 06 SG w 95" 510 cams, and lots of extras for 12k so you did great. You have to add in the fun factor and your way ahead.

Yep...in this economy, just finding somone with $14K in cash to throw around for a used bike is doing something. It ain't the price so much as finding the buyer IMO. Good for you!

As it turns out, I put the bike sale yesterday, and today the guy brings me 14k in cash for my 2005 RKC with loads of goodies.
The guy couldn't wait to complete the transaction, and has me wondering if I gave it away?

What do you think?[/QUOTE] You were smart not to look that gift horse in the mouth.

A friend in real estate got some advice from an old pro, "you will never go broke making a profit" (don't get greedy).

You did great especially considering the time of year and economy, I sold my 13,000 mile '04 RK with close to $10k of extras back in March for $13.5 with no regrets.

OK, 19 responses in a matter of minutes.
You guys are the best.

I put the bike for sale because I didn't get a chance to ride as much as I wanted this past summer. I figured I would wait until Spring and see how the season shapes up for me. If it looks as if I'll be able to ride again, I'll look into a something new. ( I happen the like the Streetglide :

If I waited until spring to sell, the bike would be a year older. So I figured,... why not, what the heck.

You did very well. A friend of mine just sold his 2008 Ultra for 15K last month! It only had 10K miles...
