Re: how much for my bike?
well, de gustibus non est disputandum. I really consider it one of the most sexy bikes out there. those shapes... dayum! maybe ifyou only want a bike for fun, it's not the best option, but I also commute and I'm seriously thinking to go travelling through europe...
but anyway, back on topic, is £2500 the max I can get for the bike? what if I take the options off and sell it as original, will the price decrease a lot? thanks |

Re: how much for my bike?
Yes, sorry for the derail. For commuting and touring the VFR will be a great bike, and there are much worse looking things on the road.
If you were to take all the extras off and sell it as standard then sell the parts you'd almost certainly make more. If you got the damage fixed you'd make more as well.

Re: how much for my bike?
I may be completely wrong but I heard manufacturers now quote weights for bikes which include all fluids including a full tank of fuel, which probably adds a good 30kg. This is due to some power to weight ratio law they brought in in Japan. Hence why bikes appear to be heaveier than they used to.

Re: how much for my bike?
I think you'll be lucky to get £2,500 to be honest. If you're looking for another bike, then part-ex might be the best option.

Re: how much for my bike?
are you sure? similar bikes, but with way more miles (20.000) and way less options (no ohlins, no fairing, no exhaust) go for £2500.

Re: how much for my bike?
No I'm not sure, it's just a point of view. You'll get more cash for your bike as the weather warms up, but even with the mods, I think £2,500 is top dollar.
Just my opinion guv'nor. |

Re: how much for my bike?
winter prices are atleast £500 down on what you can get in summer on a private sale,and on newer top end bikes this maybe even higher,its a buyers market unless you are paying over the odds from a bike shop

Re: how much for my bike?
There's a difference to what bikes sell for and what they are advertised for. I always aim to get at least 10% off the advertised price.

Re: how much for my bike?
And when washed, it ain't going to look brand new is it? Its got damage? I'd say you be lucky to get 2k for it.
