Hi,
You've left it a little late in the seasoon for selling... But I guess it's still warm in AL..
Just wanted to pass on some info on selling a DR-- DO NOT list it at your bargain basement price. Used DS bikes are selling like hotcakes right now and people are paying premium.
I bought a 2014 DR650 in october for $3800 and rode it only a bit- decided to sell it about a month and a half ago. The bike was very well farkled and great condition, so I decided to be a bit cheeky and list it at $4200. I not only had my inbox BLOWN UP with response, once I had taken a deposit on the bike, I had not less than 3 people contact me offering to pay over asking (as high as $5k) if I would break the deal and sell it to them instead!
So I am sure you want to get the DR gone with your new V85 in the garage, but I would urge you to list it at your highest 'pie in the sky' price at first... If you arent able to sell it within a few days, you could drop it down to your more idealized price.
I only listed the bike in the Flea Market section over at ADVrider.com, and there was tons of traffic without any craigslist BS.
Hope that's helpful-- great looking v85, sure you'll love it!
I don’t think I’ll have any issues selling it. Worst case, I’ll have to hold it until spring. The guys on the DR riders forum seem to be willing to drive great distances to pickup DRs, so I’ll probably try to sell it there first. If I had enough room, I would keep it.
