Seems like a fair price to start with but keep in mind you might not get that since the bike is wrecked and damaged.  You will get offered less.  The fairing and Harley pipes on a VTX add no value to it so just base your price on the bike alone.  Most likely someone will probably just toss those parts away since they may be damaged.

The person looking to buy your product is the person that is willing to put in the labor but are looking for a stellar deal.   

With that said if you need it gone fast be very open to a lesser amount if offered.

I understand all of that! Here is what NADA says that the bike is worth. The low end is right around $3450 so I think $2500 is a good starting point.

Forget NADA. Check craigslist and see what's on there. Will give you a good idea. You might sell it faster if you pull off the aftermarket stuff especially the damaged parts and take it back to original. If it doesn't look broke you will probably have a better shot at getting your asking price. JMO  GLWS

That would be an excellent idea if I was able to actually work on it. Since I broke my ankle, I am on a knee scooter at the moment and it will probably be a couple of weeks before I get off of it. I can't move around the garage very well on this thing.
If I haven't gotten rid of it by the time I get clearance to put weight on my ankle, I may do just that!!!!

I am sure it was a happy/sad event.  Hope you got what you wanted for her.

  Have always had this outlook on things that happen in my life. When one door closes another opens that is bigger and better.
Dont run off. Stay around and enjoy the ride.

Time to get a Sling-Shot.  You and the wife could enjoy that.

I hit some gravel in a turn in October, jammed my knee and ankle a bit, didn't lay it down.  I was lucky...my buddy behind me said he had no idea how I kept the bike from going down...neither do I.  The only reason my foot hit the ground is because it was so close it was my foot or possibly a knee.  Gravel sucks.     :c
