I think it depends on the model. Two-tone Interstate versions seem to be holding value. Plain black models sliding down.
a couple of Valks popped up around here

This thread has got me to thinking about these older, large bikes, and the various forums we use, makes me a bit philosophical. This forum and NGW is still keeping with the older GWs. GW Docs is morphing towards 1500/1800s as is Steve Saunders. Just an observation.
You see a lot of these older, large bikes hit the market because of health reasons, passing of a spouse and such, indicating that it is an older crowd that is selling. The push/romance with adventure bikes and the newer, smaller size bikes because of insurance and such, are making these older, heavier and large CC bikes less expensive and with a limited market.
My daughter used to comment on some of the cars she would see, and ask why these hot/neat cars were driven by us old farts. My answer was always the same, because we can afford them.
Enough with a trip down memory lane. I do think that there will be more of these show up at a very attractive price if you are in the market for one.
Just a thought or two.
Cheers

Maybe find a Valk forum and see if they sell there?

I find it hard to believe that in any Market in the continental United States a nice, relatively low mile, clean unmolested Valkyrie will not fetch $3,000 at a bare minimum.
Heck, a nice gl1000 could bring that much if clean enough...

Another low mileage Valk just popped up.
