Basically the time may have come to sell the blade.. just need a rough idea of what to ask for it. Spec is as follows- 2010 bike non abs Black/white colour scheme 16k miles although it is actually less than this because its geared down Yoshimura exhaust Power commander V Shorty levers Black tint screen Carbon mud guard Heated grips Solo sear cowl Tail tidy and eyeshot nano mini indicators Crash bungs Have the original parts for it. V5 etc. present The bike is still on finance which I would pay off with the money from the sale. Does have some stone chips etc relevant to the mileage but cleans up really well. Cheers guys
I can check the CAP book tomorrow and give you a figure if you like, but you'd be best waiting a month or two for prices/demand to go up. I'd put it back to as near mint standard condition as you can and sell the bits separately to get the best return. Remove the stickers, they won't be to everyones taste and could make people wonder what they are hiding. As for the finance be upfront, don't wait for someone to HPI it and say you were going to pay it off. Have the settlement figure to hand show them and give them the option to pay it off and give you the balance.
As other say remove stickers to help open up the market - I would think £6,500 asking take £6,000 I'd search ebay and watch all blades for sale and see what they bid to / sell for - you will soon get a ball park figure of what your one is worth. Sell the bling like the PC5 and Yoshi - bike will still sell with standard can and the Yoshi is worth good money but adds little to sales price you will get. Re the miles don't try and explain its lower on the advert - if its geared to standard now just keep quiet about it I think. Just wait another 6 - 8 weeks if you can as market will pick up
Well ive rang the finance company and all i owe on it is 3833. Its worth around 5.5k so im gonna but it back standard and sell the yoshi/pcv seperately i think??
Said it would be fine just keep them updated. Sell the bike and pay it all off at once with a debit card. Seems simple enough
trade in value on my 2010 model hrc on 11 plate in mint condition with 2800 miles was £5800 a few weeks ago! Sold it to my mate for £6200 for a quick sale!
Cap retail for your bike with corrected mileage £6300 but you don't see many 2010 for that price I think you'd get £6k ish on a good day if it comes up mint. All down to a well written advert, nice photographs with a nice background hide the race bike/van. Don't want people to think it's had a hard life.
Its not had a particularly hard life tbf. Its done one trackday which I was very slow at. Rest of it is commuting and a bit of touring mileage. Never wanted to rag it too hard for risk of crashing it and ruining its beauty!!
Worth every penny of £6 k plus. I think and sell the bling separate on here. The recent shit weather will massively hold prices down. A few sunny weekends and wait till pay day time end of March say and you will get much more. Its bonkers how gulable folk are, sun comes out and the news says we are turning the financial corner and as a builder folks want all sorts of work wants pricing, they don't have any more money than they did they just somehow justify it. Good look with the sale and hold for better weather if you can.
