Price opinions? - Dudeofrude - 17-03-21 So I've decided I'm ready to move on from my Fz1n ?. I've had it nearly 5 years now and although it's great in many ways I'm just ready so something that's a lot less showy and with slightly more practicality. Anyway I've been in touch with a few dealers about part ex deal but they are all coming back with ridiculous low ball offers (as expected) so I'm think of selling privately instead I'm just not sure on what it's going to be worth? I think realistically thinking i would want it to go for £3500? I see some go for much more but also newer ones go for less. My main problem is the amount of sorted extra bits on it but I know that's only important to somebody looking for this particular set up. I'll list everything to do with it here and see what you all think Yamaha FZ1-N, 2007, 16700 miles Bodywork:
[I fixed & cropped the attached picture as it was showing as flipped for some reason and cleaned up the html a bit - bkd] Re: Price opinions? - Gnasher - 17-03-21 Sorry to say this mate but you're discovering what many others have before you and didn't realise. The more you change/bling up a bike from standard the less it's worth. The biggest depreciation element is colour/paint to bodywork, tank, frame, wheels, coloured break lines etc, then comes anything that's non standard and isn't a direct replacement, screens, exhausts, end cans etc. Things that are good but don't add value like suspension up grades, yes it's an Ohlins shock or Ktech front revalve/cartridge but the bike must have suspension, the fact it's now fitted with 3k worth of AM won't add 3k to the bike. The other big blind hole is tuning, PC, Power plus etc, they don't add value. The colour of yours appeals to you and possibly to some others, but not the masses, so it could potentially sit in their showroom for months even years! I always tell my customers to keep all standard parts and avoid colour changes. If they really want to change the colour get a second set of body work/tank and change that, keeping the originals. Come sell on time put the bike back to standard and sell off the painted parts for crash repairs etc. Racers have been doing just that for years ![]() Put it back standard as far as you can, if you want a trade in. You'd be better off trying to find the other person via a private sale, who likes/wants the colour. What you thinking of going on to? Re: Price opinions? - b1k3rdude - 17-03-21 You would easily get £3.5k for a stock bike, let alone all the accessories. The bike as is imho is a £4k+ bike all day long. Due to the pandemic bike prices specially on the FZ1 are much higher than they should be. Look at the 15k mileage price point on the following page - - https://www.thebikemarket.co.uk/yamaha/fz-fazer/fz1 So if you have any of the original stock items (like Gnasher suggested) I would personally put those back on and sell all the accessories separately. I say this as a lot of the items you have put on there are worth hard cash - Bodywork:

The more you change/bling up a bike from standard the less it's worth. Yeah I'm aware that's the case and tbh I'm not bothered by it, I knew I woukdnt keep it for life and I knew every penny spent would be more or less going down the drain in the long run BUT I enjoyed it for what it was along the way. As stupid as it sounds I enjoyed the fact it stands out and at meets/shows it would always get a lot of attention. Now I'm getting past all that and want something that actually going to suit my needs a little more. Mainly something with heated grips and a tank range of more than 2 miles ? As for my next bike I'm about 80% sure I want a Kawasaki z1000sx. It seems to tick all the boxes. It's got a decent amount of usable power, wind protection, the ability to attach panniers that don't look too ugly. There are other added bonuses too like rider modes, ABS etc etc that I'm not fussed about but it's not a bad thing to have. It will also be nice to go back to a bike that is 'standard', Save a few tweaks like heated grips and endcans etc Thats my No.1 atm (and the bike I'm trying to part ex toward) But other options in my price range/taste are Versys 1000 MT-09 Tracer VFR1200 (with the semi auto gearbox) BMW S1000R Aprilia Tuono (dream bike but no local dealer support ?) There is also a stunning MV Augusta Brutale 800rr for sale near me that I have been drooling over but I don't think it's enough of a different bike to the FZ1 to warrant buying it haha But anyway back to the title.... do you think £3500 is a fair price for mine if sold privately?

Look at the 15k mileage price point on the following page - Sorry you must have replied while I was writing my response to Gnasher haha Thanks for the link, that's the kind of thing I was trying to find. As for the extras, sadly I don't have much of the original stuff anymore. If I part ex it to a dealer then I will take off as much as I can to sell but if I sell privately I would just leave it all on as part of the price. I did consider removing things like the power commander but I feel that's slightly dishonest to the next owner as the bike would run like shit given the other mods to the air and exhaust system etc At least if it went to a dealer the next owner would be able to take that up with them haha Re: Price opinions? - b1k3rdude - 17-03-21 (17-03-21, 12:35 PM)Dudeofrude link Wrote:

[/quote] Thanks for the input ?? Most I've been offered by a dealer so far is £2850 off a £6500 Z1000sx. If they would budge to £3.5k I'd go for it but will have to wait and see Re: Price opinions? - b1k3rdude - 17-03-21 (17-03-21, 02:03 PM)Dudeofrude link Wrote: Most I've been offered by a dealer so far is £2850 off a £6500 Z1000sx.

And again I suggest 2017 or newer only due to gearbox issue and the SX has no center-stand (thats where the Versys beats it) Re: Price opinions? - albuquerqueturkey - 18-03-21 I picked my tidy low mileage 2008 up last spring for £3500, i got the seller down from £4k so I think you are in the right ballpark. A few years ago (pre divorce) it was a toss up between a tracer and tiger sport 1050. I went for the tiger sport and loved it, took me from Banbury to Marseille in two days. Would have another no problem. I didn't ride the tracer but thought it seemed a bit small in the flesh. Re: Price opinions? - Dudeofrude - 19-03-21 Well they've upped it to £2950 which I suppose is not too bad for a dealer ? they also have a Z1000sx in Red (which is soooo much nicer than green haha) so decisions decisions (+ negotiations with the wife ?) |
