My black 09 (08 Model ) with 12000 miles with a few extras hugger , mudguard ,chain guard , heel plates , top yoke cover ,tank pad , petrol cap cover all in carbon fibre and a double bubble screen . Beowolf carbon can , full service history first 3 by Honda last one by an independant . MOT & taxed till June 13 new back tyre 1000 miles ago ( Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2s ) . Fancy getting an ZX-10 or S1000rr ,but havent totally discounted getting a new Blade . What kind of value is in my bike ? What are anybodys thoughts on the bikes I've mentioned ? Thanks in advance .
Sorry can’t help with the value of yours. The Bemmer is a nice bike but make sure you get a 2012 after all the problems had been sorted though. If you want the in’s and out’s give Fordy99 a PM nod, he has one and I am sure he would give you the benefit of his knowledge. I also agree with Fez, the value of the greeny will drop faster than Katie Price’s knickers.
I'll stick my neck out and say I reckon you're looking at low to mid 5's as a part ex ( depending on how much a dealer wants a sale), and as a private sale I would have said 6 and a bit but having seen slowriders I reckon you'll be around 5.8 ish. All I'm hearing from everyone out there is how tough it is to shift any bike right now unless it's a bloody bargain. If you are really keen to change then call a few dealers and negotiate hard, first loss might be the least loss.
Sell your bike privately in the UK and buy in Ireland! You will get a very favorable exchange for euros at the moment and the bike market is on the floor here! Look at a sight called donedeal.ie in the bike section, anything from Honda 90s to multistradas. The only thing to look out for on Irish bikes is service history.... They mostly don't have any after the first year/owner. It doesn't mean they haven't been serviced perfectly it just means you have to look a bike over properly. The bikes you are talking about though should have history. Alot of Older Irish bikes are ex Uk bikes. Just a thought.
