I spent 12k on mine after warranties tire coverage gap I spent almost 3-4 k on just warranties, and this was the first set of two wheels I was ever on including dirt bikes I did not even have a motorcycle license when I bought mine now I will not ever go with out a bike and don't know how I made it to 25 with out one hope it all works out but if you ever liked riding you will miss it when its gone I know I would if I was in your situation I would just try to get what I owe and not be selfish

I have to agree. What you paid for bike doesn't to a buyer. They look at what it's worth and any add ons are most likely not what they want. The fact that it has ben dropped and probably has a (carfax) record doesn't help. Time of year is bad too depending on where you live. Just my opinion though.

"isuckatridingbikes" - Well no one was born knowing how. What you need is skills. To get them, and restore your confidence so you can enjoy that major purchase, take a basic riding course

Thanks for the reminder. I just posted my experience from this weekend under Bad Dealerships. 
The OP made some mistakes, but the buying process can be confusing and stressful for first-time buyers.

Ok so i bought a brand new 2011 HD sportster custom 1200, literally 20mins after i bought it i wrecked it (i know i know plz dont start lol). spent $1k on deductible got it totally fixed, was nothing major just couple scratches and stuff. well im getting married in April and im strapped for cash so i need to get rid of the bike.
my problem
bought it and came out to be around $14,500-15,000 with tax and also got the extended warranty for 4 years
bike literally has 14miles on it
seeing as i "laid" it down how much would this depreciate the value?
how much should i even ask for?
i owe $9,800 and was thinking maybe $11-12k?
thoughts?
