Default Z750 for sale

To avoid repeating my self the lis ink below.

I know the model title is incorrect, autotrader don't have the right one in the system.

Even if your not intrested do you think its a fair price?

As ever, you're probably better off returning to stock and selling the other bits seperately as you'll never get the extra for them on the bike.

Folk would rather buy a stock bike (with inferior parts) than a modded one with 'better' bits on.
The modded stuff is personal i.e it's worth £1000 to you, cos you wanted to make the changes, they're worth diddly aquat to anyone else

Also, with a high miles bike a proper service history would've paid for itself in gettin git sold compared to 'serviced it myself'.
Not doubting you know what you're doing but it won't help the sale.

I was trying to avoid taking the bits off but I think this will have to be the way forward, will still give to 2 weeks though. I see what your saying but the exhaust and suspension are common mods, I was hoping that more people might be intrested than a custom paint job for instance.

The service history is a difficult one, the valve clearances needed adjusting recently and on top of all the other servicing I doubt I would have seen much change from £800, even if have to discount by £500 I will still make money.

Cheers for the relpy though, i'm not desprate to sell so I might even wait to spring next year for a bit more of a sellers market.

I think it is fair for you to ask for that price. Unfortunately I expect £2500 to be a haggling starting price. A few dealers were offering me between £1800-2000 for my 13000 miles 2005 Z750S. Somehow I managed not to swear at them.

On yer bike in aylesbury told me that they don't even deal with bikes over 20k on the clock, but otherwise they said it booked about £2700. In there showroom however they have a horrible gs500 for something like 2k, no offence to anyone who owns a gs500 but there is a lot better out there for 2k.

Parker's is good for getting a rough idea.

We paid £3700 for a 54 plate Z1000 with 1,600 miles on the clock a couple of months ago. It was in mint condition and the only mods were kawasaki crash bungs and a tail tidy.

I was offered £3000 trade in for my 2006 '06 Z750S with 7,500 miles against a brand new Buell Lightning - I think if I actually came to do it though they would hit me harder because of the mileage - its over double the "average"

The dealer also told me that if I was to trade it in they would want to see it as "original" as possible...
