View attachment 11662I have 6500 miles on it, many accessories. I figured about $1500 in accessories. Like new excellent shape, never been laid down. Is there a blue book for motorcycles?

Kelley Blue Book - Enter Your ZIP Code
2005 Suzuki C50Z Ltd Ed
2-Cylinder
4-Stroke
805cc
Trade-In Value $3410
Suggested Retail Value $4950
Honestly you are allways better off pulling the add-ons off and selling them seperately, otherwise you will be lucky to get 10% of their value.

NADA also lists motorcycles. You'll find the price between the two listings is usually not the same. Kelly Blue Book reflects dealer asking price and 'appraised' value, where NADA is based on member dealers reports of what they actully sold that model for in a certain period of time, or certain number of sales. With cars and high volume bikes like Harleys NADA is more accurate, but with low-volume vehicles like metric cruisers KBB is probably a better guide because the NADA number is based on older or too few sales.
As for popular accesories like aftermarket pipes, windshields, and saddlebags (and modifications you have a receipt for) the rule of thumb is that they increase the value of your bike by no more than 1/3d of what you paid for them. Oddball mods (like a hot pink paint job or a picture of your girlfriend on the tank) usually decrease the value of your motorcycle, as they appeal only to you and to no one else.

You can usually ask for more than Kelly Blue Book and NADA say, i have found that they are usually quite a bit lower then what people have their bikes listed and selling at. Go to a gas station and bike up a cycle trader and look at what bikes similar to yours are going for and start around that number

Cycle Trader and others list the price people ASK for their bike (people usually ask what they owe on the bike), not what they actually got for it, so take those numbers with a grain of salt. For example I bought an old metric cruiser out of cycle trader; the ad listed it at $3,000, but the seller accepted my offer of $2,500, so the actual price was 17% less than the listed price.

well that goes without saying. i have never paid asking price and anyone who knows how to negotiate (i suck at spelling) wouldnt either. all i was saying is look at the average price that bike with around the same amout of miles is going for and list it for that.
