These bikes are rare, I paid about $4,600 for my 2001, but the VIN says it was made in the middle of 2000 and it had 15,000 km on it..it will increase in value because they are never going to make any more of them and they don't seem to have any major faults..

someone on here bought one for $1,000 and I think some have paid up to $6,000..however you are not selling it just to get it out of the way, you really need the money or it is giving you some problems and you want a more reliable bike or you have to sell it to buy a car...

Whatever the reason I hope you get what you want for it.

John.

there is also one 2000 Drifter 1500 on Kijiji  in the whole of BC in Nanaimo

My black beauty.
Freshly painted 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter 1500cc, low kms, V-twin, shaft drive, may include windshield, made to resemble an Indian Chief motorcycle circa 1947.
Runs great, stock pipes for that nice rumble. Handles very light. Great tires on it. Brakes have lots left on them.
Might accept cash and a dual sport or enduro bike in trade.
These bikes are rarer than the 800cc.

Thanks so much, i think i kinda have an idea now, will have to get up the nerve to let go of my beauty, not going to be an easy thing :-[

not rarer then a 99 800....

There are so many variables that I'd be real hard to say, honestly.  Variables like condition, maintenance, upgrades and add on's, aftermarket parts, section of the country you're selling in, Heck, even the person selling it is a variable (could you sell manure to a cattle farmer?).

Yes darlin I do believe i could sell manure to a cattle farmer  :D

Selling cheese to Troll is easy, as long as there's no broccoli with it. Ya got a smoked Gouda???

You say that like constipated and gassy are a bad combination.......

Probably the best I can do is to say cruise the internet and try to find a similar bike and see what it's priced at.  That doesn't account for location or your selling skills, but it'll get you a ballpark asking number.  (Remember, asking numbers and selling numbers are often not the same)

Or ice to Ratman?

wow the only response I have to that ....is

or cheese to Troll......

all I got man............

but like PC said depends on were you are, is there a demand for the Drifter, even colour, what you have done to modify it, so much it would be hard to give even a decent answer. What does Kelly bluebook say?
