Remember that 99 was the only year the orange/black was made and there were only 240 of them.  In my humble opinion that adds to the value.  I am not biased just because I have that same color combination (yeah, right!).

Great looking bike. Hard to guess the market in someone else's part of the country. $7995.00?

[Fritz The Cat]

Lots of bling value. Hope you get a good price.

[Thespian]

 I'd ask 10k see what happens. looks worth it to me.

[GotValk]

How quick do you want to unload it, Take your time maybe $8000 , quicker maybe $6900 .
Under 6k keep it for a keep sake and will it to some one.

If I didn'talready have two, I'd be on the phone to you.  I like your bike.   

My brother has been off them for 25 years, and now is into airplanes and tractors.  He's out in Bellville/Ypsilanti, I am going to send him a link.

I'd ask $8500 and take my time.  Decide the lowest price you can live with, but don't take it right away.

I don't do auctions, but your machine just might drive some competitive bidding.

What are they going for in your area.......and how bad do you want to sell it? 

The above advice sounds about right to me. 

That said, it would take 10 grand to make me even think about parting with mine.  I know it's not worth that in the market, but I don't care about the market.

I haven't decided yet if I was going to sell it, just getting an idea for right now. Seeing  if I can straighten the old body out. Knees and back, bicycle riding to strengthen up. We will see shortly.  I also have a Kendon motorcycle lift that might go with it naturally increasing it worth.

I Thank You all for your help and input.

That's a fine looking bike and set up nicely..I'd start at 10K and let them haggle, you might be surprised at what someone will be willing to give you...I'd even try 11 with the lift.

[donaldcc]

what about $3000 and i will b there tomorrow. 

[Paxton]

In my neck of the woods it might go for $5500. Look at the HUSTON / DALLAS Craigslist.
There are always several... just compare and see what are they asking for Standard Valks out there.

Yours is a beautiful bike. I bet she's almost as fast as my BLACK Standard!

You may want to pick up another Valk and modify it to suit your medical condition before you sell your current bike.

I have a 2K I/S that I SuperValked because it was too much bike for me to handle.
I also bought a 98 standard that I was able to lower and lose almost 80 lbs. by removeing everything not needed.

Now I'm building a 97 stripped down bobber Valk. It will make the 98 look like a barge. I will weigh it after I get it on the road. I bet it will be at least 50 lbs. lighter than my 98.   

Whatever you choose to do,....Good luck

[cookiedough]

7 low end, 8 grand high end but depends on area of course, but I'd start out at 8500 and go down from there.  Heck, used HD's our age of bikes are going for 11-12 grand so I see no reason to let go below 8 grand??   

[Jess Tolbirt]

sell all the extras seperate and put it back to stock condition, you would probably get more that way,,stock  would around her bring maybe 5500...

[Hook#3287]

Keep It!

[dreamaker]

Got to say you people are so cool that is why this is a great forum.!!!!!!!

[Tundra]

  Your bike is very nice.  I hope you can sell her for a fair price and to someone who will care for her well.
 I've been tring to sell mine for 6 months or more. Very well maintained and accessorized and spotless clean. I started at $7,900.00 and have reduced significantly three times. I've had adds in cycle Trader, Craigs List and locally. I have not had one single legitimate response. I found the bike I wanted and done exactly how I would want to accessorize it, for a fair price. almost bought it and thought I would sell mine after.
 Glad I didn't now, I don't have room anything else and can't give mine away. I accept that I will now keep my Valkyrie and take her to the grave, will her to my nephew. I'm ok with that, I really love my Valkyrie anyway.
Best of luck to you

Great looking bike! But what do you mean that it has "fuel induction"? I thought that was a synonym for fuel injection, and yet it looks like your carburetors are intact.
