How we define a"good deal" is personal. There are some aids we can use to understand relative values of used motorcycles.
Kelly Blue book http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle with resale, and wholesale data from 1970
NADA http://www.nadaguides.com/default.a...&gc=mc&any=0 Only lists 1995 to current, Low, and average retail,
Despite everything we believe, add-ons do not increase the trade-in value.
Ebay, Craigslist, and cycletrader, will show what particular models are being sold for, in YOUR area, but remember, many sellers do not get their "asking price"
Google the make/model, and look for "owner's forums" the people who own and ride the bikes can be the greatest source of information.

| Nadaguides does list used motorcycle values for pre 1995 you just need to go under the "Vintage" section. It lists 5 conditions and their corresponding price. Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. |

Thanks for the links! I have recently been looking at a lot of used Dyna's and the extras are what often kills the deal for me. When a seller says "$ 5,000 in extras!" I often find myself thinking" It will cost a lot to get rid of this stuff".
