To me it's worth an even swap! If it's as clean as the pic's show YES.

The Kelly Blue Book and NADA values on my bike are around $18,000 retail but I see them selling on eBay and CraigsList in the $15,000 range and sometimes lower...especially this time of year.
I'm impressed with the engine and interior of this car from the pics.
