UK 954 - Selling.... should i remove extras ?
I live in the Uk and am looking at selling my 2002 954, i have fitted a few expensive extras over the time and wanted to know if buyers understand the value of these and would pay extra for them ?
Extras i thought of removing are - Ohlins rear shock Gilles Variobars Pazzo Levers Gilles Shift support. Comfort seat. The bike has only done 5,000 miles and as you would expect is mint. Thanks. |
yep, sell em. i would.

The nice thing about selling it all at once is that you get all of the money you're going to get right away.
But you won't get all of the money you "could" get out of the extras, but you might have to sit on them for a bit while they sell on ebay or whatever And, why are you selling? |
Unfortunately......Hop ups on motorcycles never fair well for resale. If you are looking to put the most cash back in your pocket. Peel all those aftermarkets and sell them seperately. But then again...You may run into a buyer that will truly respect what you have done and pay the premium for a 954 with only 5K on the clock. The Bike is getting harder and harder to find. Let alone going through the process of finding aftermarket bits for it.
PS. Dibbs on that rear Ohlins if you decide to sell it.... |

Too bad man. But I understand.

Try selling it for the price you want with all the Aftermarkets on it First. If someone is truly interested in it. They will appreciate the add-ons and figure out that if they stay in your ball park. They will come away with a well set up machine. If they want to offer a price that more closely resembles your bike in stock form. Then let the buyer know all the aftermarkets will be stripped for that price. I bet they come around real quick to your way of thinking.
Of course this theory will only work for that buyer targeting a 954. Let the Buyer educate themself on this particular model and see what happens. Just .02cents my friend. Good Luck either way! |
Thanks for all the input, i will go with what Ironhead says first, always worth a go, and your right if someone truly knows what these bikes are and the type of extras i have fitted they may well understand the real value of them, if not and they are more awestruck by ' shiny bling '.... then the Ohlins etc come off and its no issue. Thanks again.
