Default any suggestions on to get back what i paid for my bike???

Hey guys, i have a 2001 F4i with 17,000 miles on it and i paid $3,800 a year ago with 12,000 miles on it. It was mechanically perfect but the body wasnt in the best shape (cracked upper, busted blinkers, small scratches everywear but never seriously crashed or layd down ) now i fixed the upper (got fiberglass one) and got new blinkers and re-painted it, new sprockets,new tires.. is there a chance if i really clean it up good i could get 4,300-4,500???? here are some pics! i want you guys to tell me what you would pay for it ! lol

I like the paint job on it. I think you could pull 4k out of it, you just gotta find someone in the market. It's all about how the market is at the time. When I bought my bike, bikes weren't for sale more than 2 weeks before they were sold. If there is a big market, I think you could get that.

That looks almost exactly like my bike, except my paint is gloss. Its listed for sale in DFW for $4500 right now, and I've had a few people come take a look at it already.

Clean title?? People will pay $3000-3500 for a bashed up F4i with a salvage title on stuntlife.com post it for $5000 obo and you'll sell it in no time, but its getting to the time of year where they will be dropping in price because its the end of the year, so if I were you I'd hold on to it until next spring, just my .02

My buddy sold his 02 F4i a while back. Looked EXACTLY like STEVOLUTIONS bike. He got 4500 out of it.

Clean title, OEM plastics, 17000 miles, good mechanical shape, i'd pay around 4500 for an f4i.

With the custom paint job i'd pay a little less, around 4200 max.

Around here it would sell for that right now in the condition that its in. My local dealer told my brother when he was down there last time to have me bring my bike in so they could sell it to a guy that was willing to spend $6500 on a clean split seat F4i LOL I know this really has nothing to do with selling your bike but I thought it was interesting. But yeah advertise it on www.stuntlife.com you'll probably have quite a few people interested in it since they are the desired stunt bikes

Good luck man
