Selling as standard or with bits?

[Balky001]

I'm selling my GSXR600K2 which has done 20K miles. I have had a fair bit of work done to it but wondered what people thought about best way to sell it i.e. sell with bits on or sell as standard. The bits I have on it (and original cost) are

Harris Rear Set - £295
Ohlins Steering Damper - £180
WP Shock - £500
Power Commander - £290 (customer map £100)
Brembo radial master cylinder - £200
EBC pro-lite - £200

I'd let the buyer keep the Art carbon hugger and R&Gs, goodridge lines and obviously the £400 I spent uprating the front forks may be a selling point as set up by MC Technics. I don't know how much you'd get for these parts second hand, what do you think - strip it or sell as package?

SH - full, had major service time before last. I get it more regular services as I enjoy track days - oil change after every event

There's a few marks on the bike but giving the year its clean - I can honestly say it has been reliable and never missed a beat. The bike handles well. The previous owner was my mate and a fortune as been sent on it (£2700 when I first got it and £800 before I went to Nurburgring last July). New downpipe was fitted recently. I'll post pics in a second

Advertise the bike as standard but inform the prospective owners that some very worthwhile upgrades are available at extra cost. Don't remove them from the bike until you have a buyer and then negotiate the price for the bike with or without the bits, and what bits he wants or doesn't.

That way you might sell the whole lot, cos bits always look better fitted and it saves you hours of swop over work, especially if he wants you to refit certain bits that you've already removed.

What you don't sell you should advertise on gixerjunkies.com or ebay.

forgot to add it has a datatool 3 alarm as well. Just got MOT and tax is in post.

Cheers Lozzo, that's good advice. Didn't think of gixxerjunkies.

RDOD, I was thinking about sticking it on ebay first with all the bits with a reserve of £3200 and if it didn't sell then sticking it up with reserve of £2650 and seeing what I got for it. I know the standard lower mileage goes for £3000 - £3500 locally (3700 at dealers). I don't know what I'd want for the bits separately until I've tried selling the bike as one first.

I'm just uploading photo's on to photobuckets so you can see the marks on the bike as well as the nice stuff.

I might keep the rearsets for my new GSXR as I like them high and back and the standards are too low.

What's the new GSX-R? Just wondered as the K6+ 600/750 (don't know about the 1000) have adjustable rearsets, you probably already know but if not it could save you a few bob by being able to sell these rearsets.

I didn't check but in that case, Thanks!

No prob! May as well check how adjustable still, I never did play with them and don't know how much you can move them
