At least it doesn't have a 10 page list of "upgrades" that increase the value to well above the MSRP of a new one.

That is a nice looking Softail.  I wonder what you would need to spend to get it running?  New tires, seals, hoses, battery, flushing out the accumulated gunk, etc.?  MSRP for brand-new one is about $17k.

Good Find, but I think the color scheme may have induced nausea, thus the low miles! Love those early 90's paint jobs  Wink

That is one reason why Harleys are so popular.  People like that their looks don't change, unlike most Japanese bikes where the look is completely altered every couple of years.

I picked up a 1972 Honda earlier this year with 1009 original miles. Still has the original tires and probably still had the original oil in the crank case. Sadly the rust is not original, there is a little rust for every year since 1972.

That is if the bike had normal mileage on it, which must be about 30K miles.
A low mileage bike is obviously worth more.

Interesting thought and I would generally agree about bling but if it is upgrades, it does increase the value IMO.

Would y'all expect to pay private party price for a well sorted, low mileage bike? I guess a better question would be would you sell your well sorted bike for somewhere between retail and trade in value?

My ZX has had numerous upgrades and getting more, it's at Ohlins USA getting a rear shock made for it and the front forks rebuilt with new internals. New front rotors are on order and when the wheels come off, ceramic bearings are to be installed. The engine is done and the only cosmetic changes have been a hugger and undertail with fender elimination kit. It has low miles @ 13.5 k. Retail is $4395. Would you sell it at that price? I know I wouldn't.

It's important to get a bike with original miles. Those refurbed miles really bring the resale value way down.
