Default Help me price my Bike

Hello all,

I'm currently contemplating selling my SV

Build costs on my house renovation are spiralling and the extra few grand may just be the difference between a finished house and no house.

Anyways, thats the reason for selling.

Bike is a K5, 05 plate SV650S in Black with all the Gucci kit - Suzuki OEM Belly Pan, Hugger and Seal Cowl, Pyramid Undertray and Fender Extender. All original parts included and still in original packaging.

If you like Black - you'll love it!

Superb condition - only 2215 dry miles - Full Suzuki Service History (George Whites - Slough) - Always garaged and looked after.

So come on everyone - please give opinions on an asking price - i've never sold a bike before - only part ex'd my last curvy SV (for this new one!).

Cheers in advance,

Dan

Sold to the man in blue!

Thanks for your input - i'd like a few opinions - then i'll take the mean average and stick it on Bike Trader & possibly eBay...

I'd say that sounds about right.

btw - forgot to add that i'd rather sell it to someone on here who will look after it.

And also it'll save me any listing costs

Seems like a reasonable price to me, but you may find it harder to sell at this time of year.

Understood about the time of year thing. What sort of drop would it be - a couple of hundred quid or more like 500?

TBH it's depends how soon you want to sell the bike, if you want a quick sale you will need a price to reflect that, ie £3500 for quick sale NO time wasters. but if you can wait a little while then put the price up to what u feel it's worth ie £3800- £4000 & see what kind of feedback/offers you get.

if i were u i would put the price high & be prepared to come down a few hundred. you can always come down in price, but it will be tricky trying to push it up.

Why would anyone spend more than £3500 on a second hand bike when they can get a new one for £4000ish on 0% finance
