how much is lower milage worth?

i know for a boris rep (idenditacal to mine 2003 blade) for sale for £3500 with only 6000 miles, got a few extras. inc rearsets

but is it worth buying, swapping all the good bits etc then selling mine

so in the end i will have a bit more "bling"

but more importantly, i will be going from 30,000 miles down to 6,000

im thinking it will cost me £500 at the end of the day.

up to you, do you want to change the bike and go with something else or are you happy with what you got?

Buy a more powerful bike or a lighter bike, easy answer, not the same bike!

Are the bling bits worth much more than £500?

Would you look at buying them anyway?

If the answer's no to either then I wouldn't bother. IMHO, on a well maintained bike, I don't believe low mileage is worth much at all. If it ain't broke, don't fix it etc.

ive always owned clean/mint low milage bikes and TBH their not really worth anything more in the real world just more easy'r to sell.

no to both. the only reason i was thinking of doing it was the low milage,and condition as i said mines done 30,000 and has the odd scratch, nothing worth worrying about.

where as the other one is mint, i guess i may be stuck to sell mine though?

i dont think i will bother then,
