Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

Wrong by about 800-900 quid I reckon!!

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

Bargain - there was a more expensive one in J&S a couple of weeks ago, but that was the more desirable blue curvy S :p

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

down here prolly go for 1200 quid looks in very good clean condition but you could get a mint pointy for that with same mileage

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

The tragic thing is that some unsuspecting noob will come along and pay it :-(

Was offered £1200 trade in for mine (2000, 37k) and was delighted. Unfortunately it didnt happen cos i hadnt got any more £££s to put towards it, and i dont think the guy was gonna let me have a new CBR600RR for £1200. Cant imagine why!!

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

been offered 2300 for my k5 lot of places would only off 2100 cause its a naked

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

errr ever so slightly over!!

So Parkers average price for a good curvy of said vintage £1400 then eh...hmmmm good place to start me thinks :-)

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

LOL my pointy with 15k was £1600 :D

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

just got £2300 for my 2001 sv650s full faired after WAM old guy pulled out on me. and that was 100% mint, that was not including the after market parts on it. but she done 43,000 in just under 10 years. so hes taking the micky buy 1100 notes for that bike.

Re: a tad high priced me thinks...
 

dealer prices, what do u expect..has been same since i started riding many many moons ago'.....and will continue to be that way..private buying/selling is the way:)

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

Conways has always been a bit pricey.

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

I'd want 2 bikes for that money, or pay me a grand to take a curvy off their hands :rolleyes:

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

Ha, i saw a 02 today at the rocket center, it was £2800 and it wasn't even gold plated.

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

Conways is expensive full stop. I bought my first bike there - a 1992 GS500 (back in 2003) for £1200. It was overpriced without a doubt, but at the time I didnt know a lot about it all and just wanted to get on 2 wheels. I look at their prices now and they're way to high. He is a hard man to barter with also so cant see how he makes a sale.

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

I'm no expert but there's a bike on this very site for sale which I'm sure is a more than a little overpriced.

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

Sawthis in DK Motorcycles in Stoke on Saturday. 40 odd thousand miles. Seems a tad expensive, but, it is a curvy, so we can forgive them :)

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

These prices are very optimistic. I know the bike I'm looking at on Weds is priced at just short of 3k, and for 1000cc worth of vtwin, with 8.5k on the clock in a dealers its strange for it not to be priced slightly more.
Obviously if I can haggle it'll be a steal!!

Compared to these curvies here, it looks like I'll be rubbing my hands with glee, but I'm still scratching my head as to how much to start the ball rolling at, to sell mine. Obviously you try to get as much as you can get, but you really have to do it without seeming greedy or indeeed cheeky.

What you looking at Dizzy?

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

I actually went and looked at that bike Conways it wasn't worth the asking, when a went and had a look he had a 2000 model in yellow with 3k on it for the same price!

Guess where my money went!

M&S ain't much better atm wanting 2,500 for a 2001 with 35k on it

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

Plenty of overpriced (or should that be "dealer priced") bikes out there - here is a naked curvy up the road from me...

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

That is a good example. Here is another

Re: A tad high priced me thinks.
 

1. The SV is a 'starter' big bike. Most likely people buying them have limited experience of true costs and just see the big bike going cheap.

2. It's the start of the biker season. The demand for motorcycles is higher at the moment which makes it more easier to get a higher price anyway.

3. Somebody will buy it sooner or later.
