Any bike is worth what someone will pay for it. You've been trying to sell it for two years and haven't found that person yet. It sounds like you want to sell it, and not like you have to sell it.
If you want to know what it's worth, go to a stie like RumbleOn. They will give you a cash price. Of course it will be wholesale, but at least you'll have a baseline.

I'm currently trying to sell a 2012 Superglide Custom. Started at 7.5K, not a bite. Relisted at 7K, still no bites. Basic Econ 101 says that with non-essential, used items, the buyers ultimately set the price. I'll keep lowering until it's gone.

And to be honest I looked at your bike when first listed but I lived in NY at the time, I actually liked it except for the forward controls and of course distance.
And back to the 15 years, picture this: it’s 1975, Disco is king, so you need a Vette, you just are not going to look at the 15 year old 1960 Vette, can’t be caught dead in the rat trap, but the shiny red new 1975, yep that’s what’s hot.
2009 seems like yesterday, but it’s a old bike, in a sea of newer, new engine tech is out even the M8 has some age on it now.

Econ 101 would have taught you that price is an equilibrium and that in a competitive market, neither buyers nor sellers have any control over the price. Sometimes it's just a matter of connecting a buyer and a seller. Other times the price is too high. But it isn't always the case that something is overpriced just because it didn't sell. If there's no willing buyers who know about it, even the best priced product doesn't go anywhere. Your bike has everything I like about my FXDB and I would buy it for $6.5-7k if I was looking for it.

While there is some truth to that, people still like the Dyna frame. The Dyna is sexier as a "cruiser" than any softail.

This is a pretty gloomy thread. It is a buyer's market but there are ways to sell bikes better than just running an ad. Clean it up and take it to every bike related event in the area. Park it at the end of a line so people can check out all sides. Bring a sign, make sure the price is adjusted to deal with buyers that need to dicker. (everyone..) Always put "OBO" on the sign.

Financing- I only took out regular vehicle finance loans for brand new stuff. When I wanted to buy something used, I'd sell off things I could raise money off of that I didn't really need, then get the rest of the cash through lines of credit like signature loans or whatever. I'm poor and I could raise $20K right now if I decided I needed it quick. People also borrow money off family members if they are well-off and knew the borrower was good for it.
The bikes for sale in this thread are like new. I am surprised the buyers don't know what good values they are. Shocked.
Keep trying. You only need ONE buyer. He's out there someplace. Best of luck to you.

Look on the bright side, just be glad you're not trying to sell a boat!

Not sure what the market looks like where are located but over here in PA/OH/WV area hate to say it but I max price I would bet someone would be willing to pay would be around 6k. I regularly see dynas in deep WV for 5-6k listed and bet some are willing to negotiate.. Just my 2 cents. Dont shoot the messsenger.

I have thought about selling my 2015 Dyna Street Bob (a more expensive model than a SGC) for $10k. If someone showed up with $10k tomorrow, they can have it. I can't think of any buyer on earth who would look at my '15 for $10k and even consider paying $8,900 for an '09.
I'm at $7000
