Yes, you're probably right. But, on the other end of the
over-priced scale, take a look here:
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1616393312.html

Isn't a 1 owner, '05 GW, with 10.5K miles, worth more
than $5K ?

Or, is it just some kind of scam ? I'd go have a look at
it if I had garage space for it. Maybe someone here
would be interested.

That post has been flagged for removal so it must have been a scam of
some kind.
I've got an 02 that I "think" is worth $10K but I doubt that it would
bring that if I tried to sell it. Only rode it 1680 miles last year as I
usually ride the HD now.
YMMV

The $5K, '05 Gold Wing listing has returned.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/mcy/1619576237.html

But, as you can see, it's ask value has increased by
a mere $20K.

To quote the narrative:
"Here is your chance to own one of the best model
Gold Wings Honda has ever produced at a fraction
of the cost of new."

A pretty bold statement....

I would think he's being a bit optimistic or really looking for a
sucker. I haven't checked the prices lately but I think his asking price
is very close to MSRP for a new bike. He forgets that all the farkle he
added means nothing when you're selling the bike, it's just there to
boost your ego while you ride it. I planned on a 09 Wing with ABS but I
soon found that I could buy the HD Ultra for about $4K less than I could
finish out a new Wing as HD put all the stuff on there stock that Honda
charges extra for. Not to mention the HD handles a lot better at low
speed, fits my body size better, and is more fun to ride.
YMMV

Never buy anything from someone who can't spell "is". Except their
sister.
