A used Honda Hawk GT (88-92?) averages somewhere around $3K nowadays, same as when they were originally sold. I've seen similar prices for an 85 Honda VF500 Interceptor, can't believe the prices for a 500cc twin sportbike would be much higher back in the mid-80s. Those aren't "collectors" bikes, though a well maintained and upgraded bike might fetch more than out the door — unlike a modern sportbike where you won't ever recoup the cost of upgrades.

For now, it's probably still Harley, but it's falling off. That's what happens when you saturate the market to feed a trend.

In my region, the Polaris Victory bikes seem to hold their value pretty good too!

As has been said, Harleys hold the best value today. They currently depreciate at about 7-8% annually on the average, compared to about 8-10% for most other manufacturers.

Watch the trader rags though, and you will see tons of them for sale. You can almost always get a good deal on one these days if you are patient. I think this means the prices will start coming more in line with other manufacturers in short order.

Everyone is saying Harley and that may have been true back when sporting a mullet was cool (business up front and party in the rear) but now BMW has the best resale value and best percentage of deprecation as well as great reliability.
Anyone know of a Harley that is over a year old without a leak? If you do please let me know where to find the thing since I have never seen one and would like to.
I do not have a BMW by the way but rather two Hondas which are great bikes but I will not lie to you and say that they will have the same resale value as either a HD or a BMW.

the air head BMW's hold their value so well that I've never found one cheap. but up until now Harley's have held their value better than anything else. that could change at any time though. if your looking for something that will rapidly increase in value the longer you ride it get a Harley or BMW at least 30 years old & in good original condition either one will cost at least twice what they sold for when new & will increase in value if you dont trash them.
back in the early 90s at sturgis I met an old dude on a 48 panhead that he bought in 49 for $700 at the time I met him it would easily have sold for 10 to 12 grand, he had kept up the maintenance & overhauled the motor 3 times & rode it 40+ years while it increased in value, nothing like a free ride!
