Used motorcycles are bought and sold throughout the world on a daily basis. Because they are fuel-efficient and small, they can fit nearly anywhere, and they save people money. These are typically highly desirable features to most people. Some people choose to collect used motorcycles if they are older and worth value. Others simply wish to own and drive a used motorcycle from day-to-day. Some
. even say that buying a used motorcycle is often a better value than buying a new one or another type of vehicle altogether. It can be difficult to price a used motorcycle without professional help though, especially if there is no prior knowledge of motorcycles. To help people when they purchase or sell a used motorcycle, there are used motorcycle blue books. Used motorcycle blue books list everything that someone would need to know about cost in order to sell or buy a used motorcycle at a fair price. The information is based on professional appraisals of same year, make and model motorcycles at current fair market value. Perhaps the most well known blue book for used motorcycles is the Kelly Blue Book. The Kelly Blue Book is accessible both online and in print copies sold in automotive stores throughout the country. Inside the blue book, motorcycle enthusiasts can find the trade-in value or the retail value of a motorcycle. The trade-in value is the amount that can be expected when a motorcycle is traded in at a dealership. The retail value is what is suggested by the blue book as an amount to be expected when a motorcycle is sold at a dealership. Additionally, there is a private seller value that tells what someone should expect to get from a private sell of their motorcycle to another person. The Kelly Blue Book currently lists motorcycle values from the year 1960 through the current year on more than 150 different makes and models.
