Thought I will post this and see if I am the only one think in this way.
I have been looking for a used bike for daily use and my budget is about £1500 and it seems that I can’t really get a reasonable quality bike form this amount (looking for 400-600 sportbike or a naked, even a good 125 costs more than my budget) but on the other hand, around the same or a bit more I can get a car like Mazda RX8, it is a lot of metals and engine for the money.
Surely bike should be cheap, anyway, search continuous and set myself a target by Dec, hopefully people might sell their bike cheaply in the winter.
I’ll probably be selling my ER6-f within a few weeks. 2007 07 plate, silver, just had it’s MOT new DID gold chain about 300 miles ago I think it’s around 27k miles (although I haven’t picked it up since the MOT went on it a couple of days back. Oh yeah, just put 12 months tax on it too.
I was hoping for more than £1500 to be honest - but wtf - you take it as is (i.e. I don’t have to clean it up for sale) and no ebay fees so I suppose that isn’t too bad a deal.
You’re obviously not trying very hard now, are you?
My current hornet…98 model with 9k on the clocks in damn fine condition… I got it for 900.
I bought a 01 cb500 direct from a dealer for 600 quid, experience training school but wanted for nothing and was in black/gold colour and good condition.
I sold my GOOD Vfr800 2000 model for 1400…not 2 months ago.
Of course if you are limiting yourself to looking on biketrader then you have only yourself to blame. Ebay is the place to get them.
