How well does a Harley-Davidson hold its value?

Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Harley-Davidson actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):

FIG.02·Harley-Davidson Depreciation Curve — Value by Age
2 yrs3 yrs5 yrs9 yrs10 yrs$20,990$9,999$16,999$15,892$9,750
RANGE $20,990 → $9,750·SOURCE ForCar · Harley-Davidson

A Harley-Davidson worth about $20,990 at one year old is typically down to ~$16,999 by five years — roughly 19% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.

Which Harley-Davidson holds its value best?

Not every Harley-Davidson depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):

Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.

How far Harley-Davidson prices spread

Trade-in, private-party & dealer price

Every Harley-Davidson has three prices. Our low–median–high range maps to what a dealer pays you, what you'd get selling it yourself, and what a lot charges — see current used-market prices across all models too:

Trading in or selling your Harley-Davidson?

Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
