BigBoyinMS Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 As hard as it is to sell a bike these days I'm going to try something different. I want to do some trading. I just posted my 2006 Road Star Midnight, with photos, in the Classifieds section under "Other Motorcycles". I'm wanting to do a Solo Star Glide to go along with my '07 RSV so i'm hoping there may be a member here with a Venture that's wanting to trade for a Road Star. I'm open to any year 2nd Gen. but I would rather it be a similar year to my Roadie so neither of us has to pay much difference but I won't let that stop me if I need to. Well, let's see what happens!
Gamecock Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Bike market isn't too bad. I posted mine on Craigslist and sold it 3 days later. I took $200 less than what I wanted, but I wasn't gonna cry about that. Good luck on the sale! Ben
BigBoyinMS Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Maybe you were lucky or maybe yours was listed low or maybe it's just this area that has a weak market... but I keep seeing the same bikes (including mine) listed over and over in this area. In any case, someone else and myself just may get lucky and have just what the other is looking for. Sure can't hurt to ask!
Gamecock Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I live in Metro DC, so that might explain it. I asked KBB and got $200 less. I also bought my Venture for $4,000 less than KBB. I got a steal. You'll sell it. Make sure you put it on Craigslist for your city, and any around you that you're willing to drive it to. It's free! Ben
Gamecock Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I know it's pretty far from you, but looks like an awesome deal. http://annapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1401808587.html 2002 Yamaha Midnight Venture, excellent condition 1300 CC, V-4, liquid cooled, only 2350 miles black, full dress, lots of chrome, great touring bike shop manual and two black helmets included.

flb_78 Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 not mine, but inexpensive enough http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/1405771371.html I'd be interested in swapping, but you don't want my bike. Too old, too many miles.
BigBoyinMS Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Yup, it must be a regional thing. I just did a search of Craigslist within 400 miles of me and found 3... '99 RSV $5700 '00 RSV $6500 12k miles '01 RSV $6800 2 weeks ago I found 4 '99 RSV's from $4500-$6000. And they usually show up again about 6 weeks later. Same way with the Roadie's.
