Several factors may affect a motorcycle’s total value: The color of the motorcycle, especially if it is rare or unusual The motorcycle’s overall condition, including whether it has fading, scratches, tears, or dents The motorcycle’s odometer reading, showing the number of miles driven The motorcycle’s year (given that most motorcycles, unless they are collectible antiques, depreciate significantly over time) Any aftermarket modifications that the owner makes to the motorcycle, including custom paintwork, large rims, or LED underglow, which may enhance the motorcycle’s overall value
