How much is trade worth?
I was looking at 09 SG and RKs, and I like the new look (larger tire & fender) also a few other mods. Question is, How much can I expect on trade from my 05 RKC which I consider to be in flawless condition (vivid blk) mostly stock with just a few simple mods (new hdlbars) and some chrome trinkets. Some of you with new bikes must have traded, I no the number might be low but I cant afford a big hit, Paid 15000 for RKC 2 yrs ago this month. What is fair? Bike has just reached 16000 mi, got 4500 from sturgis trip this year. Thanx in advance.

I think for me at least making a decision on when to ditch my ride based on the "market" or "dealer deals" makes no sense. That being said I do appreciate that there are those that do want or need a new ride every year or so for various reasons and need to address this question. GL.

Actually this is the wrong time of year to sell, but you'll always do better selling than trading. Go talk to the dealer, and see what they will offer. Then you've got some basis for knowing what to ask. Can't hurt. You can always walk out smiling and know you'll be happy keeping your 05. I've wrestled with the exact same issue, and I've decided to keep my Road King. When I go new, I'm going to try and just buy outright and keep the King for when my sons come home to visit. If it feels right, do it. If it feels like you're getting screwed, walk away. It will haunt you if you don't. Good luck on your decision.
