The trade-in offer is the dealer’s number. Not yours.
I’ve written trade-in offers. I know what goes into them, and what comes off them before you ever see the number.
This guide shows you your bike’s three real values, how a dealer prices a trade, the cheap fixes that raise the price, and how to sell it yourself safely.

What's inside
Part One — What your bike is worth
Trade-in, private sale and retail: three numbers, and which is yours.
Part Two — How a dealer prices your trade
What they look at, and what they subtract.
Part Three — Cheap fixes that raise the price
And the upgrades buyers won’t pay extra for.
Part Four — Selling it yourself, safely
Photos, the ad, test rides, and getting paid without getting burned.
Part Five — Getting more for a trade
Written offers, separate deals, and the sales-tax credit.
This is for you if:
- You’re selling or trading in within the next year
- You want to know what your bike is really worth
Skip it if:
- You’re keeping your bike for good
The honest bit
Prices change with the season and where you live. This guide shows you how to find your number. It can’t promise the number.
— Dan
