Going to sell the HD Ultra

[ken]

Well its the end of the riding season, and I said I would give my HD a riding season to see how I like it. Well I decided to sell it, gather my thought (and some cash) and go back to the Venture. If I'm lucky by the time I get ready buy, Yamaha will make a few positive changes and updates. If anyone is interested or knows anyone interested I've listed it on ebay with a reserve of $17,900.

That is a nice looking bike, curious...what changed your mind after riding it?

[MAINEAC]

Hey Ken good luck with the sale and I hope you get your asking price... But it's off season for 2/3s of the country, times are tough all over, and H-D just made a bunch of improvements in their 09 Dressers..

 

Why are you going back to the RSV? We have had a few defectors lately and I'd like an honest comparison... If you'd rather wait until after the sale I understand.

Being a peace officer edition, increases its value to some buyers, but might make others turn away. I guess you know Ken, that the Motor Company has a few rules about buying and selling the special editions, namely the Firefighter and Police Bikes.

 

Very nice looking bike though!

Ya I'm aware of thier rule. The dealer told me if I sold it with 1 year I would be band from buy new again. It's been one yr and I most likely wouldn't buy another one.

Beautiful bike. I really like it. That does you no good at all though because I got no

Well if you sell it within either 1 or 2 years, (cant remember which) then you are off the list for buying another 'Special Edition'...but you could still buy any other new or used bike they have. You CAN trade it in and keep your eligiblity I understand. But it sounds like thats not the way you want to go.

Hope you don't mind I posted a link to the ad on another site I visit. There are a couple of rabid HD fans over there...

THANKS!!

It really is beautiful, Pol Ed. Prettiest one I have seen in a while.

[silvercrew]

I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the cash, that is the nicest ultra I have seen. I like the street glide but that ultra turns my crank. I like it so much I saved the picture of it, I hope you don't mind.

[MAINEAC]

Take the trunk off that Ultra and you gotta Street Glide..

[Tartan Terror]

I understand you on this. A few months I was all hot to get the 09 Ultra Firefighter edition. I finally got the chance to ride an Ultra and even though it was an Awsome bike I just didnt feel like I fit on it. Granted I have changed all kinds of stuff on my Venture to make it fit me but I want prepared to dump another 4 grand into an already expensive bike again. I sold my Flag bike and was gonna sell the Venture and even if I got the price for it I wanted I still would have had to add 10 grand on top of it to make a lateral move in all Just for a Name.

 

I decided to paint my Venture as My own Firefigter edition as I am now Vice President of my Red Knights chapter and with the friends I have it will only cost materials. As for the decals and goldleaf the same guys son does vinyl lettering and graphics.

I've seen several Ultra's where the owners made the top trunk detachable and put on a solo seat. It like having two bike in one.

[silvercrew]

lots of differance between the ultra and the street glide but yes that would be a option.

[ken]

It looks like I'll be keeping the HD. I had 60 watchers on Ebay, 5 different bidders with an high bid of 15,375.

[ken]

well I sold it!!!I got the pay off $17,500. Time to break out the KZ1000 for awhile and save up for another RV. Just don't tell the wife.

Glad to see that you got what you needed...If I could only sell mine now

[Guest tx2sturgis]

So, Ken, you never did say why you sold it?
