need some advice...

I own 2 blackbirds, a 2002 silver blackbird, in excellent shape, all stock, and has 9500 miles on it; always garaged, never been down; recently bought a 2003 with 2000 miles on it. I am thinking of selling the 2002; should i wait until spring? do you think i can get around $5500 for it? I'm in Greensboro, NC Dennis

Dennis-you're a Blackbird addict aren't you? I think you could get around $5,500 for it, but you may to wait until Spring to have the most demand and thus the lesser chance you would have to reduce the price.

Spring is prime selling time for most of the country. If you want to satisfy your curiosity though you could watch Cycletrader for a bit. It might give you a rough idea of how quickly bikes are moving in your area. Just a thought.

True.
The Blackbird seems to be one of those bikes that carries a “fanatic’s index” price multiplier.
The more fanatical an owner is the higher the ask.
