    MINT HONDA Fireblade RR3 ONLY 2200 Miles from new | eBay
    Been looking for a RR3 Blade in black and yellow as a second bike and this one just come up on flea bay. 2200 yes 2200 miles from new, mint condition but £4995 which seems steep even for a bike if this condition and mileage. What do you guys think would be a decent price?

    Things like this are worth what the next person is willing to pay I think

    I agree with Martins comment.

    Personally, I think it is not very good value for money and I always have some concerns about bikes which have been hardly used over a long period of time as it is not possible to know if they were stored properly.

    Depends as well as to what you want it for, as a second bike there are a lot of other options which would be cheaper. If it was as an investment as well, there are other more collectable bikes that might be a better investment.

    Yeh I have a few questions I have sent including seeing if the recall work has been carried out. I really want to get a good RR3 as a second bike as I had one from new in 2004 and I regret selling it.

    Lovely clean bike but Nostalgia is a dangerous thing.... I'd go and ride one in a show room and see if you still miss it first mate.

    Dave v let me have a go on his 929 recently, great bike and he loves it as a second, my old 04 r1 could still hustle with the best of bikes out there, but they simply ain't as good as new bikes IMO.

    For a second bike I'd be looking at something a little different, specially for that sort of money... But good luck with the search - what you fancy that counts.

    Loved my 954 and do regret getting selling it as build quality was great on it, ok slightly down on power compared to latest but very light and nimble, price is high and will have to been stored properly. Personally I'd be looking at a grand less minimum than what he's asking.

    There are still some great 954 examples out there for less money with a few more miles and in the better colours also

    I loved my 954 too, they are a great bike.

    I am also looking at getting a second bike later in the year so have been looking around a lot at prices. £5 K can buy a lot of bike, especially privately and there are some awesome bikes out there, some with very low mileage and pretty immaculate (also some cr^p).

    I am going to go for a mad ass naked, just for a change, although I know the windblast will quickly remind me why I love faired bikes :)

    Good luck with the search, it is great fun looking for bikes.

    I had an RR2 in the white/blue scheme, mint, 3500 miles, fsh, whith Ohlins rears suspension (set up and serviced by KAIS), Leo Vince exhaust, R & G, Pazzo's, Gilles gear shift holder, Gilles Variobars..... sold it for £3500........ This is not such a bargain, keep looking.

    N.B Some of my other posts have pics of the bike on this forum, Have a search :D
