What do you reckon this is worth?

2000 GSXR-600, 16600 miles. Same as in the pics, only completely standard. There's a few scrapes on the fairing, no cracks, and the exhaust has a fair graze on it where it's bolted on. What's the value, considering it is from a dealer?

my first thought was the paint - is it genuine?? hiding crash repairs maybe??

wouldnt go much higher than £2900 depending on service history etc

A quick look on bike trader suggests a price of around £2300 - the Corona colours aren't as popular as some but look great IMHO Very Happy

Let us know how you get on!

Well you're not far off! £2195 is the asking price. The only reason I asked what you thought before giving the price was that I usually get the response "that's way too much." The particular one in the picture was priced at £3300.

Not sure if I'll get it though - a test ride obviously needs to be done, as well as a really good going over, but there's no grab rail with Gixxers is there, which is a problem with my girlfriend. She can't hold on to me, and those straps are supposed to be useless.

I think rentec(sp?)make them. I have one on my Gixxer, though it's a K1 ...

True Blue · World Chat Champion Joined: 10 Feb 2003 Karma :

Incidently, my Gixxer is for sale. You sure you don't want to splash out a bit more? I'll throw in the grab rail. Wink

How do they bolt on then?

I bought a tidy '98 with 5000 miles for a grand.

Love telling people that Razz

I took it for a test ride this morning. Everything was fine with until I took it on a dual carriageway and opened it up in second. It kept jumping right through the rev range, so I took it back and they're looking into it. I knew there was a reason it was so cheap, considering it's from a dealer.

Not sure. They said they would look into it and give me a call. I don't know whether to walk away completely or give it a second consideration. What else could go wrong if it has been raced?

Plus there's the comfort thing. I'm used to a nice, upright-ish position on the SVS, and the Gixxer had me leaning over more than I have done previously. After just 20-25 minutes riding, I felt like I had done an hour.

Andy: Not really concerened about buying privately, but even at this price I would also have a guarantee and someone to shout at if something went wrong that I should have been told about.
