So you want $25k for a 2005 HD with no engine mods (ok, Stage 1 kit)? I agree with the others, you must really want to keep it! Retail on that bike isn't even $17k; hard to imagine paying another $8k just for accessories!

I'd try Ebay with that price, there are plenty of suckers on there looking for a 'deal'!

 

I hear the next ten years is take your bike to work daily!
May not be country side touring, but riding is riding!

 

For 20K i could get an 08 ultra, drop about 5 geez in chrome that I want on it. Sounds like a good deal for someone who doesnt know any better.

 

Duke, Tell me where you can buy an '08 Ultra for 20 K and I'll fly to that dealership! A good price is $23,585 OTD where I'm at and then I'll have to add loan interest.

Dave, I hate to see you get rid of a nice Ultra like that but hope you get the price you're after. You, me, and everyone else on this forum spend a ton of money on extras and getting that money back is tough. I'm in a similar situation with my '05 Fatboy with $23,500 invested and a generous dealer is offering $15,000 on a trade. Another dealer said my best bet was to strip the accessories and sell them on e-bay. I'll keep my Fatboy for around town and add a second bike before I lose my a$$ on it.

 

Hear you. I almost gave up too.

Kids, new job, a move, new house, etc.... I let the machines sit for awhile and sold one. The other I stowed in the garage and would fire it up once in awhile. When things got settled(and kids got a little older, I cranked it back up. I now take the kids for a ride, they help me watch motorcycle racing, now the little one want s a dirt bike (he's 6 now).

As so the tradition continues on....

Wisconsin has some beautiful countryside. Cold winters though.

Hope you get through this all by not selling it.

Join the Shrine (for the right reasons I hope), be a Peace Officer or Firefighter, Be a H-D employee, or I believe active duty military gets a pretty good deal too.
