I'm giving serious thought to sell my '06 Uly. Due to a crapped out hip it is now rather uncomfortable to ride this wonderful bike.

I picked up a 2008 KTM Super Duke that fits great and causes minimal pain in my hip.

I know Buells are basically yours once you buy one but was wanting to get some feedback from those who have sold/bought used '06 Uly's as to price range.

My '06 has 7,000 miles and is in very good condition. It's the faster black color!

Thanks for any input!

I gave $8500 in May '06 for mine, it had 850 miles, on the clock. Included parts and service manual, 3 qts Mobil 1 20/50 Vtwin oil and a filter.

I paid $7600for a 2006 with side cases this summer 6800 miles on it. Most I have ever spent on a bike. I'm a long time Guzzi rider we are cheaper then KLR riders!

If you think Buells have bad resale, wait until you try an unload the KTM. I see NEW SD's and SM's for $9,999.

Your used Uly may be worth more than your used SD.

Lack luster resale is the price we pay for buying bikes that the masses don't understand...

Yeah...I know that the KTM's have pretty dismal resale but at least for now I fully intend to keep and ride the SD for quite awhile. But of course I thought that about the Uly as well until my health issue came up.

Oh well what can you do?

Someone once said:

"Choosing a bike because it has good resale value is like choosing a wife because you think that she would be fair in a divorce settlement."

Is there a bike with a good resale value?

I thought they were all horrible.

I think 1987 Honda Goldwings are still worth 40k or so. That's without the cassette tape player. All Honda products go up in value...all of them!
