yep whatever BB says. a bank wont loan you money for a 15,000 dollar 1993 vmax. its just to risky for them. thats what the bluebook is for anyways. and insuramce companies are giving you a rate based on a stock vaklued bike. if you have a bike wprth 400k. u need to be paying a 400k rate
yeah i understand where you guys are coming from about the kbb. i know thats all the bank will loan out but not everyone takes a loan to purchase something. but i also understand someone not wanting to pay more than bb for insurance purposes. i guess to the right person it would be worth more than bb i guess that person would want what the bike has to offer. i am just trying to put a value on it because the owner of this bike is offering me a trade. thanks for reply's keep em coming
just my opinion what id give for it if it ran good after all the motor work and is as clean as it looks in the pics... 7-9k
i think a stock one is like 5500-6500.
im from indiana and we're not doin much better than you guys
from the sounds of it the new 1ks are gonna make 200hp to compete with bmw. those are brand new, 0 miles. warranty. did i mention brand new? prolly between 12 and 14k

Take a look at the bikes here: http://www.garwoodcustomcycles.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=browse&id=1415870&pageid=35
That should give you a decent gauge compared to what you're looking at. Those are dealer bikes, so a private seller is usually 10-15% or more less. Make sure you trust the person and/or take a good look at the bike. Lots of people have work done to their vehicles. Doesn't always mean it was done well.

well the trade would be for my 93 goldwing that i have listed here in the classifieds. i really cant lose i guess he is also throwing in both pitbull stands a one piece suit and a bunch of icon gear. he also has a supercharger for bike that he will throw in and the stock swingarm and stock header pipe but dont have the can. i really feel my wing is worth $6000-$6500 but it is end of season and i have multiple offers of $5000 so i think this would be a very fair trade.

my question is, is it stolen? thats almost too good to be true of a trade in your favor

I suppose that's a plausible reason, and people are often willing to take a bit of a hit for a trade.
But still, you'll make out like a bandit on this deal. He'll "throw in" a supercharger? Most people "throw in" an old helmet or the stock parts.
Even giving everything that's on it, I'd say around $8-9k. As others said, even big time mods don't add much (if anything) to a bike's value, despite how much money they have into it.

The end of the season is upon us. Besides that this is a buyer's market right now...lots of bikes out there for sale and new ones are going for great deals.
If you decided to sell you'd likely be stuck with it for awhile. Be 100% sure about it before you go through with it.
well i went ahead with the trade but i was wrong about the supercharger i must have heard him say something else so it did not come with a supercharger. but i did get over $1000 in accesories a one piece leather suit both pitbull stands 3 pairs of gloves a icon jacket and two pairs of boots. all in all i think the trade was pretty good. by the way this bike is an animal here are some pics.
