Whats it worth - paul1606 - 05-02-13

Dunno what its worth ? "2002" 22,000miles, new c&s, fairing lowers, hugger, Nitron rear shock, beowolf end can, 2x avon storm 2,s (1000 miles on them) Multigauge. Thinking of doing a deal for a 21,000miler blackbird in similar condition not up to speed with the values of both bikes any ideas???

why would u want to get rid of such a great bike?

Re: Whats it worth - sadlonelygit - 05-02-13

you flog you clocks off as a p/ex to someone on here, ditto the nitron.
blackbird is a fine bike, but it's honda bland, lacks clearance as standard, screen too low for 100+ blasting, has CBS which i hated, will do obscene speeds whilst feeling totally unhurried. OC as fervent about them as we are about Fazers.
bikes after 2003/4????? detuned!!!!!!!!!!! to give even more blandness. hold their value very well.
first dibbs on the m/guage btw Wink

:agree ...especially in this economic climate.

Re: Whats it worth - pitternator - 06-02-13

dont forget its a different riding position to the fazer.More suited to high speed work .But tbh theres not a lotto choose between the fazer and BB on roads.Maybe anautobahn will let BB get a bit ahead. But not much.
You have to want it IMO to trade the fazer.

Hehe......point taken.....so i'll go first....
Very tidy and well looked after bike. Mileage reasonably low for an 02. If i was selling i would want £2,750 and advertise it at £3000.

probs a bit high there EXUPNUT...........might be good at that price later in the year Big Grin

Re: Whats it worth - Dead Eye - 06-02-13

I agree, it's a bit high for this time of year - but in the summer advertising for £3k should attract a fair amount of attention considering its very good condition Smile

Re: Whats it worth - Lawrence - 06-02-13

No idea, but it looks fantastic :thumbup

I thought everyone sold there bike in the summer(anyone with a modicum of sense that is :b) if ur sellin yours red98 i'll give u a tenner provided u wipe the saliva off :rollin :rollin :rollin

Re: Whats it worth - Exupnut - 06-02-13

The other thing to remember is that there r people who buy bikes in preparation for spring/summer and as its such a wicked lookin bike (its blue isnt it :b) and dosnt need anythin doin to it, i think @ 3k it would attract attention. Its a bargain at £2,750.

Re: Whats it worth - red98 - 06-02-13

anyone who buys a bike this time of year is expecting to pay a bit less..........it is a very nice, clean ,low mileage bike that has been well looked after and iam sure worth top money ..................in the spring/summer Wink

my bikes a bit too quick for you exup........stick with your blue thing :rollin :rollin :rollin

Its a steal, its a deal , its the sale of the foccing century!!

Is the Blackbird you seen willing to do PX? is it private sale or dealer? or is it just something your on the look out for?

Re: Whats it worth - stevierst - 06-02-13

You'll regret selling it, and you know it. Many on here have done the very same thing, and we see them return eventually. And I only know this because I'm one of them. :rolleyes

Re: Whats it worth - Strifae - 06-02-13

I regret selling my FZS600... and it was FAR tattier than that! lol

In hindsight I wish I had kept it as a winter hack bike... but that one is a real nice example!

Whats it worth - BBROWN1664 - 06-02-13

I will give you £100.

Re: Whats it worth - Looney tune - 06-02-13

100 quid + haggis and tattie scone roll + a can of IRN BRU Big Grin

Re: Whats it worth - JoeRock - 07-02-13

I'd be very interested in both the Nitron shock and the multigauge if you fancied selling them seperately, and the fella above me that asked about the multigauge decides he doesn't want it?

Re: Whats it worth - purplebear7 - 07-02-13

:\ I really was trying my best to keep quiet .. over there in the piddle corner.

However .. as some posts do .. this one has really touched a nerve. I'm very strongly in with the KEEP IT
camp .. having lost (wasted) thousands of £s myself when going back to buy a Second Gen 1 and then even a third :eek . All three well tricked up, never crashed, blingy clean and cared for better than most babies!

There has not been anything out there to touch (or come close to) a nice tricked up FZS 1000 like you have there. If it's a good one it is still the best total All-Rounder for realistic use in the real world!

A close mate of mine (no names) once got himself a brand new Blackbird .. big, fast, aggressively ugly, quite bland under the skin, bloody uncomfortable and heavy to maul around on and off the garage forecourt. I've known him use the car rather than bother putting his kit on! Very sad .. he almost lost interest in biking! It was eventually sold for whatever he was offered .. just to get rid of it. He's on a Gen 1 now!

One other point I'd throw in here .. just hope he will not mind too much .. you guys all know Mike GTX (Falcon 269) he of Ivanising fame. Not much our Mike don't know about Bikes in general and Gen 1s in particular .. not just a spanner man .. he can also actually ride the things like Mr Yam never intended :lol ! Called in and flown over from Spain to do road tests for Ride mag, etc.

Mike is still on his first Gen 1. It's Blue and one of the very first few out of the box in the UK. He could have (I recon) just about any production bike he wanted and I think he would have moved on by now if there was ever anything better to have Wink

. THINK AGAIN BUDDY AND KEEP YOUR BIKE !! 8) All just in my opinion of course :\

Stay Safe Wink
