    After a price really guys n gals

    Completely standard apart from the BOS can, has R&G paddock Bobbins and R&G tail tidy, comes with Honda Seat cowl..Never been tracked and seen the Rev limiter twice...yep twice!

    Only got 3400 miles on the clock 58 plate..had all the necessary HONDA recalls, (Slipper c lutch and rear pegs were starting to corrode)

    Had a hisy fit with putting swirls in it but they are now removed, had a small off that cracked the front nose fairing, light unit and scuffed the side fairing...as it went through the insurance I made sure i got my moneys worth :)

    Basically a new bike bodywork wise, even the swingarm was repainted and polished

    Youve seen the pix but again:

    I been studying the market a lot lately, is the damage recorded as in is it a cat D???? I recon you would be lucky to get £6500 for it at the moment My mate was just given £6K for his 58 reg brogie rep with the same miles on as yours and that was with him buying a new £15000 harley they offered him £5k originally and a few garages have said around that price.

    Id say a realistic price if its not recorded is £6k private sale at this time of year, some of the red RR-8's are advertised at £5800-£5900 so you can knock a few hundred off those prices with a cash buy and thats from dealers.

    I think you would have to be happy with 6k mate and anything more a bonus just because thats the market at the mo. Tis a stunning bike though

    I'm with the others ... if you got 6K I recon you should take it . I only payed 6300 for mine and that was April last year with less mileage than yours .

    It was the metalic burgundy red not the flat red, they are a little dated now but nicer, nicer than the flat red anyway.

    I was watching a burgundy and red blade with just under 3k on the clock (private sale), not CAT D etc, said full history and one owner (him), just a nice clean standard bike, he had it with a starting bid of £5k................. it did not sell !!!! Cash is king, all bets are off i think in the current market place, and as this depression (because that is exactly what it is) goes on, i can see toys like the blade getting harder to get decent prices for.

    I would say that if a buyer is in no rush, he/she can just sit and wait for the right bike at the right price to come along.

    Yup especially with times like these no jobs prices going up, the toys go first people take the hit just glad to have some of the money back.

    I really hope you decide to keep her mate . Our members that have sold up always say they will stay on the forum or at least call back to say hello but they are long gone now

    We need DJ Jammin on the forum !! LoL

    Hi mate..

    I would let her go for £6400ono.. Its immaculate, it looks the nuts :Banane21: and its got next to fook all miles on it.. I couldnt justify letting it go for much less than that..thats with new tax and its first MOT too, if not then il hold on to it and try again in the summer

    Ive got a lot of stuff coming up and Its not going to be used as much as id like so its time i think..i can always get another when circumstances change
