Default Price out my bike

2002 Red/Silver F4i with 3800 miles, mint paint and engine runs great. Gregg's flushmounts, RS-3 Yosh pip, Zero Gravity windscreen, Power Commander, Pro grip tank pad, gas pad and grips, Hot Bodies undertail, PIAA bulbs. Bike located on the north east market.

I was thinking $5000?

although your bike's mileage is low, it's also an 02. it's priced way too high.

Only 3800 miles!....that bike is neglected! Factoring in an adjustment for your shame you can get $3,783.26for it.

Mods are always a loss, sometime a total loss, an 06 F4i can be bought in Miami for $7145 ( I just read an ad this weekend).

Good luck selling it, the red/silver is nice.

I don't think you'd make more than $4K on that ride, especially now that riding season is nearly over.

i really don't see why just the year should demand lower price. The way i see it 01-03 are worth more then 04-06's since they come with higly demanded split seats.

I would do 4500obo the time to sell a bike is not this time. If you could i would hold on to it till march-april and then ask 5k for it you would be more likely to get it or close to it.

the year killsthe bike.....doesn't matter if it's got only 300 miles...They depreciate......Think about a car..A 2001 modelcar with 30,000 miles that cost $40,000 new is only worth approximately $15,000...A $25,000 loss with only 30,000 miles on the vehicle......Over 1/2 the value is lost....Luckily bikes hold their value a little better than cars (alot better if buying a 3-5 year old bike with low miles)....I paid $5800 for an 05 with 2000 miles that came with a $200 helmet and $150 jacket..Both mint..Not one rock chip on the bike....This was during march...I would look at KBB come March and adjust to 02-03 value due to mileage.. Most buyers won't want to pay it, but when you explain it's a "seller's market" and that it's the same as an 02-03 with less mileage with a more prefereable color scheme (relative to taste of course) you may get 02-03 value out of it...
Personally, I like the color scheme and think you should be able to get $4000-$4500 out of it IF you hold out long enough next year and tell people you won't budge on the price due to the mileage.

That's an unacceptable statement . But Ofcourse the newer model with the a lot more comfortable , handsomely shaped bannana seat will cost more
