Ahm...what's wrong with

It doesn't have used bike prices but does give trade-in/retail...
Used bike prices is kind of subjective.

I liked the old
If it's 10 years or older pay $100 for every working CC add $100 if the paint looks good and $100 if she's fully functional

Any time I want to find the value of a bike I go to Traderonline.com and type in the year make model and try and buy the bike anywhere in the country and see what the demand is for the bike. Throw out all the dreamers, the guys asking what the bike sold for new 2 years ago, throw out the scams, the $7,000 bike for $3200 and you can get a pretty good idea of what is moving and selling.
I used to buy 20 to 30 bikes a year with damage that I could paint and repair and then re-sell; this for me was the best guide for actual value. Some of the Blue book price is pretty far off on some of the models.
