KBB versus NADA differences

[chuck hahn]

Was looking at both places for the value on some of my bikes just for curiosity sake. There is a HUGE gap between the two places for the values. So this got me to thinking..which one is the real world go to source??? Obviously since NADA is often double or maybe a bit more than double of what KBB says, ones gonna want to base a selling price on the NADA.

Why are they so vastly different?????

One's from La La Land, the other has values from Fantasy Island. Neither has ever had the slightest relation or bearing to what bikes and cars are actually selling for.

For late-ish model motorcycles, I've found that large forums like ADVrider.com have enough activity that you can draw some rough conclusions. Some of the model-specific forums also have a goodly amount of buying and selling.

For vintage bikes, that's a whole 'nuther ball of wax...

Thanks wringer, I'm glad to see other folks see these price guides way out in left field, the way I did. I thought maybe I was missing something.
