- April 23, 2013, 08:43:24 AMI will NEVER sell mine... that said... I think these bikes sell for way too little. You have been given some advice about determining its value... there are also online bike value guides. These always only assume physical value... not emotional value, collector, etc.
The Vaquero is a nice bike... but it puts you back into the herd, IMHO. There is nothing wrong with having two bikes, a lot of us do. At this point, we allow 3 in the garage as my wife knows the Drifter is now part of the family.

I know the bike needs to be ridden and appreciated and if it ends up sitting in a garage i would want it to go to someone who would ride it. We'll see what happens I suppose

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.

They are definitely an eye catcher, and although I am asking about selling prices not sure if that is what i am going to do at this point.Dogdrifter,like other members have mentioned these are rare rides.I know for myself it would be nearly impossible to let mine go.Once you have established your price I'm sure it will sell rather quickly.IMOP your going to regret letting go of this breed as others kick themselves for this reason.

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....

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?).
