Well, $3,500 isn't the value of the bike, it's simply what your dealer would need to pay for it to be able to turn a reasonable profit. Nothing wrong with that. I imagine you could get $4,999 without much effort if you sold it directly to a retail buyer. I don't think the value will drop to $3,500 for another two to three years.
My dealer offered a different trade-in value for one of my BMW's depending on which of his new bikes I would buy. I refused to play that game, decided to sell it on my own, and then bought another bike elsewhere.
