Is there the equivalent of a Glass's guide for valuing used bikes out there? I assume dealers must have some regularly-published bible to refer to or is it all smoke & mirrors?

At the risk of depressing myself, it would be useful to have something in black & white to refer to.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry fellas but Parkers is crap and the prices given are nothing like Glasses. Parkers tends to go on the side of the owner and will up the sale price where as Glasses goes for the dealer and will down the price. At the end of the day someone will pay x amount for a bike and that is what it's worth. Doesn't matter if the book says it's worth £4k. If you are only being offered £3.5 then that's what it's worth.
