I'm looking to purchase my fourth Buell- Ulysses.
I'll post my current one (XB9SX) for sale here(in the classifieds)soon. Before that, I'm going to a few dealerships to see what the trade value would be. I'm wondering if I should take it to the dealer with all the extras that I've added to it, over $1200 worth of stuff or return it to as close to stock as I can. I have had reccomendations both ways so far. Maybe DaveS can give me your input. Thanks.

I need details!
Miles
Mods
Tires
Pictures are always good
I know you take good care of your stuff so I wouldn't need to see the bike.

I can then work you up a deal!

Return it to stock, I can't speak for Daves, but the HD dealers around Central Fl. all will KILL you on a trade-in, I did trade one, my M2, and then passed on trading my XB9S when I was wanting a 12Ss, because all they give you is the basement.

I am working on paying off the 9 early so at least whatever I get if I sell it will be $$'s in my pocket. I am actually pretty happy with it again after I got the racekit on, maybe some oversize cylinders and headwork and I will pass on the 12 altogether.

Don't think I've ever "killed" anyone?
A bike, any bike, is worth what it is worth.
I do consider extras when I figure what I think I can sell it for. From there I figure out what I am going to need to spend on tires,damage,oil changes. Then I figure a little profit to keep the boss happy and the lights turned on. That is how I determine trade value.
Retail-reconditioning-profit=trade in.

Of course, depending on where I have the new bike priced at there may be some "wiggle" room there too?

I just try to treat everyone fairly.

My M2 only got me $2400 in trade-in, no crashes either, but it was 4 years old. They were down initially at 3400 on the 9S @ 2 years old, but I managed to get them up to $4200, but it still left me upside down and they wouldn't move off MSRP on the 12Ss.

I am right side up now, but I am a little surprised how low the trade-in/resale numbers are on these BUELLS, I love the ride but they don't seem to hold much value in the resale market, but not many motos do.

Part of that blame lies with the Buell dealers that are giving the bikes away to begin with.
When you de-value the product new, it also affects the value used.
