Im selling my 2009 blade. I hate selling bikes, as most of the time and effort you put into making it yours, it develops into something you can't let go. So here goes. It's a 2009 red model. My additions to the bike over the years I've had it are quality parts. Power commander. Ignition module. Quick shifter with push Race fit slip on can. Frigging sweet. With baffle. I never use the baffle. Rear honda racing pillion seat cowl. Red. Scotoiler for chain lube. Lazy style. Rear honda racing red hugger PP rearsets. Perfect. Red and black riders seat. Pazzo levers. 520 chain conversion. Rear light is integrated without indicators. R & g crash bungs installed in the engine mounts. R & g casing covers. Braided calipers hoses. Small and mot large number plate. It has 6000 miles on the clock. Harris colour coordinated red & black grips. Dark screen. Paddock stand bobbins. Wheel trim in red. Brand new tyre on the rear, still got the sticker attached. The bike has been sorned for the past 2 years. Also I have had the bike serviced regularly, 5 times in total, which equates to 1250 miles roughly. 2 owners and 2 keys. V5 in my name and HPI clear. Please feel free to ask any further questions. Price wish, I'm sure the most important factor. £5500, this is due to the many mods that have been added to the bike.
Just part ex'd mine and got £5k for a 11k 09 bike, near standard with HEL lines and freshly powder coated wheels and foot controls. I'd be inclined to strip off all the bits and put it back to standard. Theres around £1500 in second hand bits there! Surely the bike is worth more than £4k!!!
Quick question, did the ignition module make much difference ? And if you sell it put me down for it please ?
Thanks for the thought and honesty, but my view point is, I've built the bike to a standard I'm happy with for the road, also it breaks my heart to strip it back to standard, when you have taken the time to improve the performance and appearance of the bike. It deserves appreciation, and I'm sure the new owner will be impressed.
The ignition module was a recommendation from Dynojet. I got the bike dynoed after the installation of the module and it smoothed out the period of the engine cut out period. Not gained many ponies, when I installed the module,I got the bike dynoed, but can't find the print out, if I remember it was 173 BHP.I forgot to mention, it's got a KN filter.
I get your point, but for me the money is the motivation. I like to maximise my profit when selling. Good luck with the sale.
Let me know if you sell it and the level of interest your getting. I'm thinking about putting my 2009 (White) up for sale with approx 10,000 miles on it. I think the £5K to £5.5K mark is about right. Not sure if the time of year plays a big factor.
