ummmm not sure?

however a bit of advice for selling right now…

The markets saturated with second hand bikes! why???
not everyone is an all out biker some just fancy themselves as bikers Times are hard for some - redundancies, loans, mortgages etc… So first thing that goes when the misses tightens the noose is the bike! You’ll pick up some awsome bargins right now if you got some cash (I dont :P) so ebay is out mate for selling. you’ll just loose money…

Id say sell private away from forums and ebay. Get an add in the free adds or local classifieds. (beware of random tossers calling for viewings that are out to (a) steal your bike (b) barter with half the asking price) You may pick up one of the wanabies with some cash… it will take longer but you will get more buck for your buxum Vtwin. Then use the cash to pick up a bargin on ebay

Good luck happy biking

Factor in the extras and you could prob get £2000+. All comes down to what someones willing to pay.
Sold my K3 for £1750 but it had a dent in the fuel tank and had had a minor off.

[Ratty46]

£2500 i would say no more…

maybe less if its seen the floor before, my 1000 K3 was £2400 with all sensible mods,29K, and FSH 1 owner and it had never had a pillion on it let been alone dropped.

I’d be looking at around the 2k mark .TBH, the goodies on the bike don’t add any value to it, and mileage puts some people (eejits) off - some think anything over 15k is high mileage on a bike, FFS !

So… what are you thinking of getting next ?

[shiver]

cheers guys think ill hold off for abit then as im not in a rush to sell.

been tempted by an sv 1000 or move away from the twins and get the new shape r6 because its the nicest looking bike on the market (i think)

[Panagiotis]

you might get a good deal of a dealer… ?

why? because they are selling all theyre stock to Europeans without gettting px.
That means that they have cash but not bikes.

And they now have to go out and look for bikes.

So you’ll get a good deal from a dealer… but you may find it difficult to find a good bike to buy :blink:

high milage isnt a problem if the bike has been looked after, ie regular services when they are needed, oil changes etc

good example is 25k 1 owner FSH…if the bikes in good nick, the milage wouldnt put me off.

bad would be 25K 4 owners some SH…walk away!

dude i dont mean to sound funny, but you have come off your SV6 a few times?

give it some thought, i went from a 6 to a thou…i nevere dropped my 6 ever…until some twat knocked me off…and i found going from the 6 to 1000 was a big old leap!! the 1000 will bite you…and bite you fugging hard if you dont respect it…the 650’s will never bite.

R6’s are nice, i think the 05’s are the best ones, the new shape rev like mad, not much fun in town i bet!

[Choprocker]

wot you want is a bandit 1200

ive only ever come off once while moving and that was user error shortly after i passed and thanks to abit of gravel in oxford.

the only other time the bike has been down is when stopped and lost my balance even then the mushroom took it all as it had a soft landing on my mate

£2500 i would say no more…

maybe less if its seen the floor before, my 1000 K3 was £2400 with all sensible mods,29K, and FSH 1 owner and it had never had a pillion on it let been alone dropped.

What difference does ever having a pillion on it make?

Absolutely - I’ve never been put off by mileage (or service history - a lot of dealers haven’t a clue when it comes to servicing).I bought a VFR750 with 77k on the clock a few years back, and my ZX9 had 32k up when I bought it (now got just shy of 56k on it).
