a 2009 Premium Tour Vision (black cherry), with 1700 miles, S1L1 pipes (gatlin tips), PIAA lights, luggage for sides and trunk, foot pegs and, probably most importantly, REVERSE. Not gonna pull the trigger on getting rid of it just yet. Wanted all you "experts" to give me an idea as to what it's worth. Gettin' to the point where I'm probably headin' down the "trike" route. Not interested in "triking" the Vision. Probably not a good time to sell a bike just now anyway. Givin' this LOTS of thought. 50 years of riding isn't going to come to an easy end for me. Just maybe more comfortable and easier to manage in another way. I know that different markets dictate what a reasonable price should be. Not looking to be able to retire on what I get for it, just want to be fair. NOTHING wrong with the bike. Not lookin' for anybody to piss in my coffee for even thinking about doing something like this. Just your ideas as to what you all would think she's worth.

Thanks for your help.

Used tour premiums are being listed for around $18-21K depending on model year, miles, accessories and condition......unforunately, the ones that are selling seem to be going for around $16-19K depending on those same items. With your low miles, pristine condition, and reverse option I would say you will be on the high end of the scale. Finding a buyer is going to be the major issue which you are already aware of that.

You may want to consider working out a deal with your local dealership to sell the bike on consigment as they have the target market and your bike could go for the higher end of that scale. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

It's a buyers market out there now. If you need to sell quick, your going to have to take a loss. Lowballing the price may get it sold quicker. Hard to tell in these times. When I sold my HD I found the lowest price out there and listed mine for $1000 less. In less than a week I had so many offers I sold to the highest bidder. But HD's are diffrent in the public eye and theyre not selling now either.

I think I would try to trade it in on a new trike. If it were me I would be looking for a retail against retail deal.

Call Lehman's and see what they can do for you.

It's a great bike so why not keep her "in the family".
