My 2012 CVO Limited was worth $1000 more in August before the 2017 came out. I was lucky the insurance company valued it at the August price.

[ultrafxr]

I was thinking of trading my 2012 in September, 2014, for a 2015 Limited.  I had two different dealers (not my local dealer) who were referred to me tell me that they were not interested in doing a trade in on my bike because it had 42k on it at that time.  They wanted low mileage pre-owned bikes that they could move rapidly for top dollar.

I think from now on I'll not keep any bike much past the two year warranty period.  That way it'll have fairly low mileage - not over 42k most likely, lol, and I won't even have to buy the darn ESP.

I am glad i got out of my CVO with as little monetary damage as possible. The Indian dealer in Knoxville gave me $23K in trade value on a new Roadmaster. Son of a gun this new Indian is a much better ride than the Harley. Is seems to get a lot more positive attention also. I wish you all well on the aging and quickly depreciating CVO's. If you do decide to keep them however you will never have to worry about it , just ride them and enjoy.

Still have one CVO left and I do plan on keeping it. The 09' yellow Fatbob is quite an animal and may stay with me for quite a while.

If I have learned anything lately is is that nothing satisfies forever for ever. There will be a trade or sell day on every toy I have. I did not go with a custom paint because I did not want to be married to this bike like my wife is to her SGS. It was a 2016 model with custom paint and all the trim you could possible put on a bike done by the dealer and I paid $36K for that thing. We were just told of its trade value and it was awful.

Nothing against Harley since they are are like that but beware that these things depreciate fast especially when a new year comes out that has significant changes.

I can't wait to hear more about your new bike.  I looked at these last year but didn't think it has as much storage room.  Are the 2017's comparable now?  I think all motor vehicles (cars, boats, bikes) will loose value overall (well until it is real old). Mileage does make a difference, especially with air cooled bikes, just like on a car or hours on a boat.  The Roadmaster has pretty good looks but I haven't really heard how it is doing over time and besides what will I do with all my t-shirts HA!!!

When you gonna post pics of the new Indian?

[muddypaws]

Anzac if you got $23.000 for your bike did you pay MSRP for the 2017? If you did you really only got $19,000 for your trade based on the 10% discount I got on my 2017.

I was offered $25k at one dealer and $27k at another for my 2016 CVO Streetglide. I would sell it outright for $30k so I figure if I can get to 28,500 on trade that would put me there with the tax savings.

Since I've seen/heard of a couple of oil leak issues on the M8's, I'll hold out for my number or not trade at all thi year I guess.

Did I miss something somewhere? Do you still have your 15 Shark ?

Yes. I won't trade that unless I can get another RG that rides and is as nice or better!

[OBB]

[Cat Eye]

Not really. I have over 40K on mine and have only owned it for 16 months!!!!!

Be Safe

Oh Lord don't even mention the t shirts I HATE TO BE CALLED A CROSS DRESSER. I think the storage on the new RM is greater than the Ultras. The lowers have great places for all kinds of things where the water system uses that up on the Harleys and in the top of the fairing is a place and hook up for the phone. I just got back from a 2000 mile tour of the Ozarks and it was a dream ride.

I can't get the pics off my iPhone since this last software update garbage that the phone just did.
