Our rides are a breed unto themselves and therefore the owners of such have to make a determination as to what they want when the time comes to sell. The prices seem to hover in the 5K range. Yes you will find some for less and some for more but I think the round number of 5K is on the money. You should never think that because you added this or that that the bike will be worth more because it usually doesn't. But all that being said, even if you paid on the high end it is still a lot less than a HD and such a much better ride!! Just my humble opinion.

Has anyone noticed the extreme differences in selling prices for used Drifters?

I have seen a beautiful 1500 with custom paint, hand shifter, extra seats, custom pipes, etc.. with the original stuff to go along with it too for $3200.00 and then I see others with high miles and very little extra done to them selling for $6, and $7,000.00.

There seems to be no consitency at all with these bikes.

In the northeast I can find bikes from $2800.00 for a 99 stock with 80k miles to $5800.00 for one with 15k miles on it.

In cali they seem to jump around all over the place but some of the most expensive used drifters I have seen recently were from Cali.
Even some 800's selling for over $6000.00.

While shopping around I marked and watched several drifters, well every one I could find, and the one thing I noticed is the miles and condition of the bike seem to have little to do with it's selling price.
There was a 99 all stock missing a headlight for $4400.00 while a much cleaner bike with extras to go along with it sold for under $3k.

I just thought it an odd observation.

It's not like you can say, well a 2003 1500 with 10k miles on it mostly stock in mint condition should sell for XYZ and then expect to find 4 or more for that price.

Anyone else notice this
