It generally depends on location. Look for similar bikes selling within a couple hundred miles or so for your best guesstimate.


Off topic: what bars are those specifically? And do you remember where you got them?

1000-1250, and you may have missed the peak selling window - April-july.
Cool.

I had a 48K mile bike I sold for 650 back in 05. I think 1000-1250 is decent for 25k.
I sold 10K mile ones for 14-15-1600.

This being October, you may only get about $800 for it due to high mileage, but if you winterize it and try to sell it in the spring, then the $1,000-1,250 seems more reasonable.

One thing to try is to ride it down to your local beginner motorcycle class and try to sell it to the newly 2 wheel licensed grads. They will be looking for bikes and some riding time before winter hits.

Cheers.
