value of this bike?

[Rufus]

having a look i reckon it's worth no more than 1,350 but the guy has asked me to make an offer and i'm not gonna pay over the odds because this much for a 99 bandit with 22500 miles seems a little steep even with the extras. although i do really want it

how much do you guys think it's worth?

thanks.

Its over priced for what it was, .i.e. standard bandit. That said clearly a lot of work has been done on it that makes it worth the money if thats what floats your boat as it were.

I would definately go and see it, more to look at the quality of the upgrades and the guy has done it all competently.

Would not worry to much about the spares as most of them will be useless to you in that they are in effect visible parts that will downgrade the bike to its original state. Putting the old wheels in for example will destroy its current looks if you had to do it. None the less they are handy to have in an emergency to get the bike going.

As nasty says, the mileage is not such an issue if its bee well looked after and the exhaust pipes dont look as if they have been too hot, although that may be becaus they are very new.

If it was a bike I was really interested in style wise then I would be happy to £1,350 for it, you clearly like it so I would get in quick before there are bids on it and haggle a bit, try him at £1,200 and see where he goes then meet in the middle.

The other point as well is that pay the £1,350 then ebay the wheels and other bits, you will easily make a couple of hundred on the parts to offset what you pay for the bike.

£1350 sounds reasonable. For an equal age and mileage bandit in standard trim I would spend about 900 if well looked after. The mods have bumped the price up a fair bit.
It's whether you value those mods at an extra £450. I think they look nice but I'd definitely try knocking him down a couple of hundred.
Also you could make a little bit of cash on all the spare bits so you could offset those from the price.

erm... its a crashed and rebuilt bandit. not worth more than £1000 if you ask me.

''streetfighter'' and ''bandit'' do not go together

Interestingly he's got it listed as an 'SX' which should mean it's faired, which it isn't. This could mean as matt said it's been dropped and had the fairings removed.

Also Parkers list this bike as £790 - £1,130 (private poor - good).

If you want to pay for the extras and tarting, on essentially a 9 year old bike with 5 months TAX + MOT then I suppose £1,350 isn't too bad, but as that's his starting price, I think it's too high. (IMHO)

its definatly not worth it.
if you want a streetfighter, get a slabby GSXR 1100 for the same sort of price. at least its a proper streetfighter instead of these immitation underpowered bandits.

the whole point of a streetfighter is to have a street bike with a superbike engine. not a half-arsed engine like a bandit.

And if you read his signature you would know that a 600 is about the limit of what he will be able to ride.

Apart from that I disagree, it is worth it.

@LeeR - your not going to street fighter a bike like that and leave it faired.

Just because either of you dont like it does not make it a no go...

Where is the evidence to say its been crashed and rebuilt?

he could get a ZxR14 if he wanted.

Modified bikes are rarely worth more than a good standard one unless they are something really special. Another averagely modded Bandit complete with a box of rusty spares doesn't fulfill the description of special IMHO.
