Bike pricing guide - SV650.org

10-05-09, 09:51 AM

I'm looking at second hand bikes and trying to gauge if they are good buys or not. With cars you have glass's or parkers, I'm assuming there is a biking equivelant.
What is it and is there an online version similar to glass?

At the moment I basically use comparison in autotrader which is ok but not the most scientific.

Thanks

depends on the SV it is because you can pick up some bargains which save £1500 when you can get a year old SV for £3k. However on your SS600's seems to be less attractive due to thrashing in that year etc . . .and price drop isn't as big in comparision.

I've got loads of Ride/Bike mags if you want 'em, complete with reviews, and used prices.

The used prices tend to be a bit wrong. Just look up completed listings on eBay and knock a little bit off (eBay tends to fetch more)
