Neither one of them is going to be worth anything in the long run.......motorcycles are the worst investment you can make. Ride them into the ground and have fun. If you want to invest in motorcyles, buy Harley stock...it will give you a good return for the next 20 years.
Absolutely correct. I have seen the 85th Anniversary, 90th Anniversary, 95th Anniversary and 100th Anniversary bikes depreciate just like all the other models.

What about the Daytona Dyna, or the 30th Anniversary Electra Glide. These were limited Editions and they are worth the same as any other used bike.

If you want to invest in something HD, try HD stock or HD art (David Uhl has been good for me), but don't expect to keep a bike hidden in the garage for a few years and have it make more than a good stock investment would.

Regards,

Bill

The value in anything based on the buyer's perception.

Hey Smokey, go F yourself .

I also find it interesting that the guy advocating the most for the XL50 has been trying to dump his for at least a month now!!!!

If the 50th Anniversary Sportster boasted a power increase over the other bikes, it would have greater collectability. As it is, it's a nice bike, I love riding it and it might command a slight (5-10%) premium. If one is looking at a bike for investment purposes, I would like to sale you some ocean-front property here in Kansas City...

Lamo, why don't you go back to the Honda's and Yamaha's that would fit your personality very nicely. You crack me up trying to be so bad. I can tell by your picture you are a poser!!!! " GEE, I BOUGHT A HARLEY AND IT DOSEN'T FIT INTO MY RIDING STYLE" POSER!!!!
