2009 Warrior NADA southeast Georgia

------------List -- Retail

Silver----- 13,190 9,110

Midnight-- 13,390 9,265

In reality, I have not seen them sell for more. I think people might pay more, because they only want a midnight, but that can mean they take longer to sell. Other folks that do not want the midnight, might accept different colors, not just one color.
Good old Supply/Demand ...

I don't like lots of chrome or very much at all, so a midnight is a better base for me to start modding on. That being said...I didn't pay more for it than I would have for another bike, just waited for the right deal to pop up.

I think it's a matter of personal taste and opinion. For me the Midnight version was more desirable when I was shopping for one just because it looked a little meaner/cooler in my opinion, that's why there's a Midnight in my garage.

I don't get it personally. I used to hear that black was the cheapest paint you could get on a bike or a car for that matter. Me, I would've paid more for a more eye popping color than black.

In the San Francisco area people are asking more for them in general.
I think if you show up with cash in hand you can get either model for the price you want to pay.
I bring 20's instead of 100's cuz it looks like a lot more spread out on their kitchen table.

For me personally it was the Midnight that sealed the deal. I've wanted a Warrior since 02 when I saw one in the dealer floor. Years pass and it was almost forgotten till I passed my bike in the side of the road less than ten minutes after getting the insurance settlement from my totalled Sylvia. Why the Midnight? I ride more than I polish and clean, but I still want my bike to always look good. It makes me a lil manic to see water spots on chrome, but when I'm riding the bike to work every day I can't clean it before and after every ride. The all black holes the dirt and grime, gives it the wicked mean look, and well the Midnight IS faster.
