What's my bike actually worth?

Had it for sale for a week and not even a sniff. it's on biketrader web and came out in the mag b4 the weekend and not even a tinkle.

01 Y plate FY model with 9300 miles, brand new tyres, Oct Tax, 1yr MOT. Pretty much immaculate. FSH, recent brake pads & fluids etc etc at 8K miles.

Standard except cosmetic carbon hugger/chain guard/tank pad & laser cut rad covers.

What should it be going for in the real world?

It really must go so a realistic price is what I'm looking to put it up for.

I paid Â£2800 for my '52 plate F2, 4000 miles with high level blue-flames, hugger, braided hoses etc last September.

Two months later my mates brother bought a '98 storm for the same price.

Best of luck. A bit more good weather is always good for a sale at this time of year.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I'd just seen one almost the same go on fleabay for Â£1550.

Still, he's happy with it. His first words to me were "why didn't anyone tell me about these".

Another convert!

i reckon Â£2200-Â£2300 is the most you'll get at a push.......this seems to be the norm for later models.......all the ones higher than this never go on fleabay and pop back up in a couple weeks.

Try gumtree.com ..... i put my old superfour on there and got a flurry of calls in the first day......free to post your ad too!!
