My local dealer has a 2014 MT-09 ABS with only 527miles on clock for £4600 http://www.duques.co.uk/used-bikes-for-sale/yamaha-mto9-abs.htm


That's a keen price.
Then the new MT10 caught my eye - 9495!  What the?

Ah it's Guernsey.

Been looking on Ebay etc and the price of FZS 1000 just seem to getting higher.
It seems it is being driven by dealers and bike shops pushing up the prices on all bikes.One dealer has described the FZS 1000 as a "future classic " so hopefully we are sitting on money in the bank?

It seems just about anything becomes a 'classic' when it gets rare enough  :rolleyes But I'm more ambitious than that; mine will be a barn find :lol

When you own one, it's worth next to nothing. They're completely valueless once the second big valve service is due.
When you're looking to buy one, it's 'a future classic' and worth two or three times as much. Either that or they are 'too old for the showroom' and broken on ebay.

Despite a few people saying they'll go up in value I fear think they might be similar to early Honda VFRs: pundits argued that as a great bike they would inevitably balloon in value and yet to date they haven't

I know it’s not the 1K Fazer but a lot of the older FZS600’s are dropping in value because of the pollution restrictions in London, those same restrictions are being talked about that might effect other cities. If it starts to become the norm will it then be introduced to larger towns as well as cities?.
Could be a way for government to get all the older cars and motorcycles off the road.


If you can not ride your bike into towns or cities your future classic is not worth very much, except as a show piece and I feel there will be lots of them.  :'(

I have to say this anti pollution thing is just away for cities to just make more money with out any actual effort.
I don't live in or  anywhere near London,  but have to say I am concerned about the future for normal working people,  this is just yet another tax on  the working class. Most people just can not afford to upgrade, I don't believe it has been thought through. Rant over.The price of  older bikes just seems to be getting higher with the price of new bikes just getting beyond  the reach most people.
Is there a future for " classic bikes " ? Will the FZS 1000 be on the list. ?

me and dave (Dynspud) had this conversation out on the thous the other day. To both of its pretty much irrelevant whether they go up in value or not. We'll always keep them ...its not just not worth selling them really. If I got another bike id just run it alongside the fazer..err which is what I do. there is nothing out there that is the brilliant bike that they are, not jus for the two grand or so mines worth, but for three or four times that too.

Could PCP finance have something to do with the lack of  choice by the owners either returning to the dealers and another PCP bike or paying a big lump of finance off and keeping the bike. leaving dealers in control of late model second hand bikes coming onto the market.

Paid £1500 for this in November. It’s immaculate. 44k and came with a s1000rr rear shock that I’m yet to fit





I don’t think I’ll ever sell it  :)

An impossible to a answer question!  The individuals priorities play the biggest part!  Having worked in several factories in my life as a mechanical engineer working with large workforce's, peoples personal attitude on vehicles play the biggest part in their purchase value. You get the "I only payed x for a machine on a whatever PLATE!  This means nothing and is a worthless sentence. The last Gen1 Fazers are nearing 14 years old thus condition is everything! I know people who are overjoyed at getting one for £1800 with pretty high mileage, but dinged exhaust, split fairing, crap pattern mirrors that shake themselves to death, split fairing inlays, pattern indicators, marked bodywork, savage rust on frame and fixings and almost no service history but firmly believe they have a bargain because their priority was totally minimal spend, there is no right or wrong.  My 05 registered bike was the BEST I could find at the time about 18 months ago, after looking for about a year, condition/history/mileage was my priority.   If I had found a one owner original bike, good history with say 3000 summer only miles I would happily have paid £5000 for it.  Remember we have all went to look at the blind mans minter!  There are plenty of run of the mill bikes out there, genuine minters will only become harder to find. P.S. There a four Gen 1 Fazers where I work now. A clever workforce!  ;)

Well, I'm looking for one....
A late model, original silencer, bars, windscreen etc, maybe other sensible mods and I'd be happy to pay £3500.
Based North Herts if anyone is selling....

The price of a new bike for me is now totally out of range  and the ridiculous second hand prices are just getting beyond me also.Don't see me selling my FZS any time soon, in fact this may be the last bike I ever own. The only reason I can see to move on is the weight of the bike being a  issue in the future with my back problems.
Just wandering if the price of bikes will fall if and properly when the financial crisis hits us. Will this increase the price of the FZS or not?

I cant see them getting much less. years back I sold my minty mk1 bandit 12 for £1800. they stayed at that price for ages, then started to creep up. Me mate Nick bought a fazer thou from this forum for £2k, like new, with only 14k on the clock on a 02, a couple of months back. . I cant see that ever going down in value. It genuinely rides like a new bike. blokes like me on here who have sorted thous that get used and are now showing around 40k or more wont sell them because we know theres nothing you can replace them with for that money, realistically what would you get for a 40k miles fazer, two grand? bugger that.. :)

Not an absolute indication, but if you look at ebay through the 'completed listings' filter, you'll see that the highest priced bikes aren't shifting (and have been on ebay for ages with repeat auctions). The ones that have sold appear to be in the £1000-£2000 region, with the very occasional minty exception.

Like most people on the site I feel there's nothing that comes close for getting on twice the money they're currently valued at (I quite like the new Versys 1000 but not really *that* much of a quantum leap forward and £7,000 upwards).  The best 1 litre all-rounder with oldskool carbs will eventually regain it's true value...

I was talking to Grant at RAD motorcycles in Northampton about this not long ago. He thought I'd get about £1200 - 1500 if I tried to PX it and I might scrape £2000 if I sold it privately. This is not because of any faults on the bike but because it's done nearly 50K miles, and most people are petrified of "high-milage" bikes.


As he said, why would I sell it for that? The engine is great, it handles well and it's in good cosmetic condition. I've not seen anything more modern that makes me want to change.


So, if you've got a Fazer that has sat in a garage, wrapped in cotton wool, and has low miles, you might get £3000+, but if you use the bike as intended, don't expect to get much for it.

BMCfaz has a point about high mileage bikes, we buy a car with not a lot of thought about mileage,  so why are we so up tight about high mileage bikes? 
Surely a bike in great condition with higher mileage is better  than poor condition low mileage one.I my self would not even consider a higher mileage bike, but not with any logic.
At what point would you not buy a higher mileage FZS 1000?Can the FZS 1000 take the higher mileage and at what point would you trade in?
We here love are bikes,  but at what point would we let them go? And is it worth it considering the price we would get for them?
