Default Advice - Selling Bike

Unfortunately after only 16 months of riding my bike it looks as though im going to have to sell it (and wont have the cash to buy a new one for some time ).

Anyway, im wondering what sort of price I should be expecting to get for my bike, specs are given below:

Model: SV650Sport
Colour: Black
Registration: MK58 ###
Mileage: ~3700 miles

Aftermarket upgrades: Tail Tidy, Fender Extender, Rear Hugger, R&G Crash Bungs

I have all the original tools that came with it as well as the pillion seat, grab rail and seat cowl.

It had its 500 mile service done at an official suzuki dealership (Road and Racing - Hyde, this is where it was bought from too).

It was bought brand new in Oct 2008.

Cheers for any help,

Andy

Dunno, have a look on biketrader or MCN and see what similar bikes are going for.

Can you afford to wait a few months, i.e. if you wait till the spring you'll get more money for it then, Winter is a sh*t time to sell a bike.

if you can keep it until march time when it warms up you will get a few hundred more

+1

Its a right head ache and not to mention costly to sell in the winter. Ive tried selling in the winter before only for the bike to be on bike trader for 9 weeks with only 2 phone calls and no viewings, despite dropping the price by a hefty amount. I ended up part ex'ing. Wait for the spring
