Fair price for an 02 Cbr600 F-Sport, 37,000 miles

[JackDG]

02 CBR 600 F-Sport, 37000 miles

It has been professionally painted white, but looks really good. Obviously I will check for evidence that its been down the road!

Apart from that its fairly unmolested. has had the mild steel pipes replaced.

Asking price is 1800. I feel 1500 is a fair price considering its age and miles. Completely clean MOT.

Is this price right?

Cheers!

I'd say £1800 is too high.

Why?

I bought my latest CBR (can't help it I like 'em). For £1600 and it had all sorts of nice parts on it.

I of course took them off and put nicer parts on it.

Plus mine had 25000miles on it, but it did have an after market fairing and a busted radiator.

I'd be tempted - but would be thinking an '04 20k bike would crop up almost immediately after buying that one. Also a bit concerned why respray.

Have seen worse bikes being sold for more than that.

Are the fairings aftermarket?

MOT history doesn't reveal any horrors. https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk and the reg is SL02 LVR.

Advert has only been up for two days so doesn't raise questions about why it hasn't sold yet. Would expect it to sell by the weekend assuming there's nothing wrong with it.

It's done 20 miles since October 2015?

£1,800 no. £1,500 maybe.

Subject to stuff like bearings, chain & sprockets, tyres, brake pads and other consumable parts not being at the end of their lives.

What service history (either dealer, private garage or DIY) has it got and is it due any major servicing any time soon?

Are you sure you want a pre-RR RR which apparently came with hooky fuel injection as stock? They're not comfy bikes - workmate chopped his RR in for an F.

I'd definitely try before you buy or you could be the next owner who rides it to and from an MOT every year or so.

I thought this was the F.

I got mine in 2012 for 2k at 28k miles - replacing with the same, locally, looks like cost more than back then - prices have not dropped. Almost at 100k miles now. Headlight is excellent - ideal for winter commuting in bad conditions.

I do like the gloss vinyl wrapped? infill panels, looks much better than unpaintable/textured pp.

I sold a 2001 CBR600f (not a sport model) with 34k on it for £1525 three weeks ago. Mine had minor, unrepaired crash damage on one side, had motads, scorpion end can, braided lines etc. Stack of receipts dating back to 2001. I paid £2000 in 2009 with half the miles and no crash damage - bike prices gone up loads, I blame UK bikes being exported to EU member states.

The sport models go for a bit more, but that one presumably suffered a bigger crash. Paint job looks good though. FYI that end can looks to be a cut and welded OEM can so check the downpipes for mega rust as they might be the originals - the bit of downpipe under the bike looks to be a rusty OEM but it's hard to tell. Replacements are a pita as even if you can get the pipes off without the studs snapping there is a lack of decent replacements. Cheap downpipes give it a stutter at 7k, motads are perfect, but cost £££s and they've stopped trading.

Somewhere in the region of £1500 seems about right but frankly if they are OEM downpipes I'd hard pass.

Just wanted to say that I find the CRB f very comfy. I've had a few and I'm currently riding a 2004.
Of course, this is very subjective and will depend on your own built in padding (of which I have plenty), your height, riding style etc.

[bigdom86]

currently ride a 02 cbr f-sport for london commuting, reason I bought it is because I like sports bikes and this is one of the more comfortable/larger sports bikes (being 6ft2 19st), comfier was the old gsxr600 but damn its ugly.

i probably paid a bit more than i should, around 6 months ago, £2.5k ish, 20k miles, main dealer service history, fully stamped, no damage to bike (plus best colour - red and black ). would think around £1.5k would be a good deal for the one you have if no major damage?
