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.

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.

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

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.

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