Got an offer for my faux-cruiser...

[Easy-X]

Met up with this really kewl "I'm just working my way through a midlife crisis" guy and he's offered me £1200 for it... fair price?

Yes.

Depending on details that we don't know.

[Easy-X]

And here's me thinking you religiously read all my posts about the Superlight

Is £1200 close to or even higher than what you've paid for it? If so, sell it.

My advice:
Give him the 1200 quid and let him take it away before he changes his mind.

You know it makes sense

You're thinking too much.

Is your motorcycle a lemon? If not, then you are not greedy selling it for what the buyer offers you for it. If it was a lemon, it'd be a whole different story and the BCF would probably call you a cxnt.

Let's call all this ''being financially literate''. It makes sense to sell it, if you don't need nor want it and there is profit.

Take the money now and not later. Chances are, they might find another soon and you'll be kicking yourself.
Remember too that Summer will soon run out and they might change their mind..

Do you want sell and is it a fair price? What s the issue if so?

[Easy-X]

Just a sanity check really...

Despite the fact it's Chinese I really love it! But Mod 2 this week and when I pass (eternal optimism!) I've promised myself something ~650 as I want something that goes "you want to go at 60? no problem..." rather than "let me get back to you in 10 mins"

Cruisers are on the rise. They will probably dominate bikes in the UK within a couple of years. This is because public habits have changed.

(Hardly anyone smoking any more) + (less socially acceptable to ride without wearing bike gear) = More cruisers

[Kentol750]

Sell it. Use the money as a deposit for a Spock650 and enjoy that. They're on 0% finance in a few dealerships!

I say sell too! Relatively modern 125's are easily replaced if you make a sickening mistake. And everything has a price, I let a lovely old Rover turbo go to a new home for a nice profit once, and I managed to sit on my hands for 6 months before I climbed the walls and had to get another one that was betterer and faster.

Just stay away from nice clean Aprilia SVX550's until I get offered one, as we'll fall out OK!

[Easy-X]

Sold! Had a nice ride over to Ascot to deliver it. Well I say nice...

Good weather, lots of hills, twisty bits, good surface. On the way I kept thinking "this would be so much better if I had a bike with some guts" so all in all a good farewell ride. I'll miss it and I won't if you know what I mean.

Can I haz firebladez for 1200 squiddlies ?!

I used some of the money to by a Fazer. I think there maybe a few spare pennies left over for the.... appropriate leather gear
