Disclaimer Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Your bike is worth whatever someone will pay vs. what you're willing to accept for it. That's the definition of "market value".The true value / worth of something isn't known until a transaction takes place. And even then, the value of the object is only applicable to the two transacting parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

progrmr Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I got $1700 for an '89 VTR 250 (~9K miles) in Sept '08. Just depends though - there is actually a "clique" for the VTR 250, so I found a forum site for that bike and a guy from cleveland came down to mansfield and we traded $$$/title in the parking lot of McD's I wouldn't have gotten that much from CL though - probably $1200-$1500 tops.250's can be tough to get rid of, especially with a lot of them up there that are newer than yours. Price point will have to be the way you seperate your ride from the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSRAaron Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 i'd say between $1200-1600 those miles should help the value a little. 250's IMO hold their value VERY well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yep! Is that where you unloaded your hurricane? No, the guy came up to my house to get it...all the way from Frazeysburg.I just grew up in Mansfield, so I used to eat at the McDonalds a lot when my grandma used to live in that area of town. That hill looks awful big when you're 5-6 yrs old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 What's KBB?How about I cut you a check for $4000... and you keep what the bike is worth to you, and send me back the rest? I currently live in the UK and have been wanting to export one of these fine <insert bike model> machines. I will take care of shipping through my trusted preferred carrier.

thomez Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I sold my 98 Ninja 250 last summer, it had like 12k miles then or something like that, needed a rear tire pretty bad, but was in nice shape. A kid came all the way from Buffalo to buy it for $1700. I had bought it the previous summer with like 3k less miles and brand new tires, for $1400 - it's all about being a smart seller, and finding the person who is looking for exactly what you have. It was a very nice bike that really had 0 issues and it wasn't hard to sell at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
