Value of DRZ - SV650.org

Luckypants · 19-01-10, 03:53 PM

I hardly use my DRZ so have decided to sell. I need to get a good idea of it's value and have been looking on both e-bay and biketrader, but the values on there vary wildly from £1600-2600 for similar bikes. Obviously the top money is buying from a dealer, so I would discount them. Here are some photos of the bike (not recent)

Changes to the photos are that it has 'adventure' tyres (avon distanzia) fitted instead of knobblies at present, indicators fitted. Will be selling the knobblies with the bike.

It's a K4 (54 plate) DRZ400-S and has done about 5500 miles.
The bike has lots of service history, most recent by me 1000 miles ago.
The bike has been green laned by the previous owner and shows signs of wear, plus scratches.
New chain and sprockets (15/44 standard 'S' gearing) 1000 miles ago.
Scottoiler fitted with new C&S as I intended to use it on the road.

I'm thinking £1950 would be a reasonable price, but would like opinions.

My opinion is you should sell it to me, for what ever is in my wallet

I have a train ticket (used) and 34p in change,

Deal?

(ps) price seems good

Hmm.. If I could only reach the ground with my feet on them...

...oh yeah, and have the £2k

Once i have my tax bill out the way, im considering getting one of these, might have to sell my lambretta to finance it though hopefully before spring.
Seems a good price mike, i would have been interested but a bit early for me.

Several 'good price' type comments, so should I push it over the £2K barrier? £2100 would be nice, but does that put me into plusher bike territory? I don't want to undersell, but also don't want to hang on for an unrealistic price...

I really am rubbish at buying and selling vehicles!

I would say £2200 but open to sensible offers mate

The beauty of ebay. 99p start and let it sell at the market price

I am watching several auctions now to see what sort of money they make on there.
