One thing I don't understand is the UNDERVALUED NADA / Motorcycle Book Values of Drifter's 800 and 1500.  It would seem for something so beautiful and Indian inspired from the iconic 1940's Indian motorcycles of yesteryear that these bikes would be on the top tiers of metric bikes.  That and for the rarity that will only increase in time like the old Indians because of their limited production runs from 1999-2006.  With some of the OEM parts still available, the Custom market parts and the rarer and rarer some parts on becoming i.e.- solo seat rails, original OEM custom parts, backrest, luggage racks etc.

Looking at what these have been selling for in the past 6 months both the 800's and 1500's from as low as $2000 range to high $5000+ seems too under appreciated for what these bikes are, their history, their continued future rarity. Some with crazy low miles from 2000 miles and up. Almost all in mint condition from being cared and protected by their owners.  Your better off with some of the super rare parts to sell your bike and sell the rare parts later separate.

The NADA or Motorcycle Book Values seem like their UNDERVALUED by a few thousands.  It like comparing everyday metric cruiser values as the same values as our's not so everyday Drifter's 800/1500's.

Also it seems that the Kawasaki Drifter's from their inception and design from the iconic 1940's Indian's motorcycles and whatever royalties they paid Indian when they were under bankruptcy protection for using their inspired fenders and design elements that their now part of the Indian Motorcycle History too.

Our beloved Drifter's would never have been born or put into production if Indian Motorcycles had been in Full production and never in Bankruptcy protection status and should only go up in value from all factors and both Kawasaki and Indian history but seem to be UNDERVALUED, which I don't understand.

Do You??????
