    Default Motorcycle Values?

    I know a guy who is thinking about getting a low cost cruiser.

    How would one figure out what the market value may be on a used bike?? Is there an NADA or dealer price guide for used bikes?

    See what the bids are on ebay for similar bikes. Blue Book is garbage. Most bikes right now are tanking in value and now is a buyer's market.

    There are people on that show that will put your eye out, kid. You can barely stay right side up in a car, and the cops chase you everytime you get on two wheels

    Just like miatas the value of used bikes varies with the seasonal weather. Next week would be prime time to go bike shopping. Around mid January the used bike market will get a lot more competitive as people start getting their tax refunds.

    Yep that is what I was thinking. Just not so sure how much I would actually ride one.

    Still for some reason I want one must be about time for my midlife crisis!

    Even if you don't ride it you can make a good bit of cash by buying now and reselling in a few months.

    It has traction control and you cannot spin the rear wheel no matter how hard you try. Sounds like the Plymouth Prowler of bikes to me.
