Isn't it weird how every bike with damage seems to "have fallen over in the driveway".

 

And it always seems to be the previous owner

 

and people think that new exhaust that they bought a few years ago is still worth retail. and i like how they show you what they paid for it and add it into the price. its just like when people buy a brand new car and they drive it off the lot its not worth what you paid for it. but 7 out of 10 bikes i see for sell is way over priced

 

ive noticed the same thing. id never pay over 3500 for any bike i dont care what it is. i love riding more than anything, but 10k for a new liter bike is insane. i know theres no way in hell it costs over 5k after all expenses from manufacture to dealer. american greed really pisses me off.

 

When I was shopping for Ororo, I titled every email "$4k cash today for your bike". The guy I got her from had her listed for $5.5k I think. It may have been what meggers said though:

His wife answered the email and said yes. The hubby didn't enter the picture till we had to work out me coming to see it and he bumped it to $4.5k (kbb value for an immaculate bike with that many miles). When I saw her, I couldn't argue anything (though I shoulda argued the price of tires)

 

Yup. I'm looking for my first bike and the common thing I've seen is CBR F3's with 30k+ miles, they want $2700-3200. I've seen even worse. But then once in a while a mint example will pop up for $1600, and be sold same/next day.
