    I know that a lot of you guys keep a pretty close eye on used values out there and I'm aware that I could spend half a day googling this but I'd like to think I'd get a more honest viewpoint from my peers.

    Does any body have an idea of a ballpark figure of what I could expect for my bike, private sale.

    It's a 2002 954, 13000 miles, pretty much showroom original, in very good condition overall, in excellent condition given its age.

    Cheers

    Ken

    Dealers are asking @£3k for that model, though the mileage on them is usually twice yours, so I would expect a similar amount for a private sale.

    Just hedging my bets mate.

    The advantage of being a pessimist is you can only ever be pleasantly surprised.

    They are renowed for being the best Blade ever, relatively to its time, I would expect £3000 or more, indeed I would pay three if I was in the market.

    Some times when you need to tighten your belt it pays to hold on to what make you happy, I spent 2 years doing up a TR7 but had to get rid when financial pressures dictated, I got over that but never got over letting my pride and joy go? Hold on to the Blade IF YOU CAN? good luck Ken

    God Carl, I hope you didn't drive it in a dodgy vest like Steve.

    Alan, If I can't get more than a tenner for it you'll be the first one I call.
