Title: So, what's the old bike worth...?
Post by: pointer2null on 12 January 2015, 06:47:39 pm: Continuing on a changing bike theme, whats the old one worth?

The details:
Mk1 Fazer 600 S Reg (Jan 1999). Engine is good, new chain and sprockets + front tyre in 2014. Stainless steel downpipes, pure rust end can (original, leaks but always passes mot "Exhaust leaking but not excessively noisy"). Acumen Cat 1 alarm. Double bubble windshield. Oxford heated grips. Tatty givi rack (no box). Headlight mod.

About 50k miles.

No service history, but has everything done as needed and oil & filter changed every year (about 6k miles).

Dry miles only, except when it's raining.

Cosmetically it's in need of some TLC - a few scratches here and there etc.

No pic at the moment as it's dark and pissing down.

Not sure whether to part-ex it or sell private.

Just curious is I could get more private.

If private took a month and got you 700 after ten messers have poised you off promising and not showing is it worth it? Is never going to be worth much more

Post by: pointer2null on 12 January 2015, 07:16:05 pm: I'll probably end up doing the same.

Shame really as the bike is quite good. Most annoying is I had to put new chain, sprockets and battery on it in the last few months of 2014 and feel like I haven't got my money's worth yet.

Bloody thing is a pain I must admit. And who takes any notice now of a car/bike (false) alarm going off? No one I suspect. I don't even look, just close the window/door to stop the noise.

Post by: Dead Eye on 13 January 2015, 10:35:23 am: If you were willing to hang on and weren't in a rush to sell, I reckon you could get £800+ for it privately if it is in good condition. More than anything I think its the mileage that will hurt the price. I bought mine for £750~ 2 years ago and its in pretty bad condition with more miles so...

Post by: His Dudeness on 13 January 2015, 10:53:30 am: I'd say around 900. 600 is a bit of a give away if it's a solid bike with good tyres, battery, c&s etc.

Post by: Tmation on 13 January 2015, 07:17:27 pm: Unless you have someone ready to buy it cash, just PX it. We are only talking a couple of hundred quid, not thousands, not worth the hassle.

Ride to dealer on old bike and ride home on your new one, simples :D
