Default Need some advice from the org about selling SV.

Okay so I have to sell my SV due to not being able to afford having a car & a bike. The car is the more practical option so has to stay which means bike has to go.

Now my bike cost £1500 when I bought it almost exactly a year ago, traded in my old YBR and got it £1000.

Went to the dealer today to try to see how much they'd give me for it and they are saying around £800 - £900.

do you think this is worth it?
It's a V reg, 31k miles, Full service history, few marks on body work, but nothing massive and bike still looks good and runs perfect. Got a Viper can, and mini rear hugger as well as flip screen. Now I know I could maybe get more selling private but the bike has got about a week left on the MOT and tax runs out end of this month, is probably due a service soon too so to make it attractive to a buyer I would need to get all these things done, whereas garage will take it as it is.....

What would you do? I want a hassle-free, minimum time consuming sale, so garage seems better, but price is obv less...

Help!
