For sale

Yea I just went with a girl to Ron Ayers and she bought an '09 for $4k OTD with an extended warranty and a helmet... I doubt a set of handlebars and some drill work to the muffler is gonna get you MSRP on a used bike. BTW I don't know where some of you are getting your numbers but the '09 lists for $3999 in the regular colors.

Oh and I can't resist but this is exactly what I've always talked about when it comes to first bikes... Someone lets their friends, a forum, etc browbeat them into a 250and they put 1000 miles on it before they get bored and want something bigger.

I mean that bike is barely broke in, has the oil even been changed yet?

IMHO you'd be better off trading it in to the dealer...I'd at least see what they'll give you on a new bike before you go through the hassle of selling it yourself.

Why? I'll save her the trouble:

Dealer: that's a nice bike you have there. I think we can work a deal on an XYZ600RR. Let's look a the book value on your bike. (flip open blue book). Well, it looks like you bike books for $1800. If you're really lookin to get a bike today, I can knock an extra 200 off the XYZ600RR and that'll give you a $2000 downpayment on our $9500 MSRP.

Wrong...average retail according to NADA is $2500, most dealers will give you that if you push... Hopefully, she can find some Cuban drug lord that wants to buy one for his punta...

Either way $4000 is ridiculous for a used bike that cost $3500 in '08...

True.

Tigger's right though... the ergos on the ZX6R (any of them) are gonna be far less comfy than the 250. Just don't rule out something like the 650R, and SV650, an FZ6 or something of that nature. If you've got back problems, they'll give you a much comfier riding position than a supersport.

Hey that's a good plan I'm just concerned that you're going to lose your ass by selling it at the dreaded 1 year mark. Basically, you could sit on this bike for another year and still get about the same for it.

As a prospective buyer, I wouldn't even e-mail with an offer at that asking price. OBO doesn't mean a thing if it's preceeded by an unreasnable number.
