keep in mind prices are always negotionable. so for everyone asking about the price already, the asking price is jst a starting point.

But asking $700 off a price of a new bike with 12 months of warranty, he's a little off. No matter the condition, it isn't new and is used. New ones are at $9799 at some places and although prep and handling will be added, he's still way off...

The idea behind selling is to attract people to your product. $700 off a new unit doesn't pull in many possible buyers...

I agree. I see used bikes listed for 2 grand or more over what new ones sell for on E-bay at times. The owners aren't trying to screw anyone - just they paid in excess of 12 grand and are trying to get some of their money back ..

It's next to impossible to sell a used bike in the same year it was introduced - especially late in the year when dealers are heavy discounting, offering warranties and can pull financing.

I doubt he'll make the sale without some really heavy discounting.

Especially in light of the prices of new CBR1000RR's being in the low 7's.

There's a reason the CBRs are being discounted. Not even close to being the same bike as the R1 and GSXRs...

If you want to leave it in the hands of the buyer, you're going to get low ball offers and silly responses like $8... As I was trying to elude to, if he wants to sell it, start at a reasonable or attractive offer and you'll get more responses... For example, start at $9500. It's the same idea as posting an item at $9.99 instead of $10.00. It's only a penny but it leaves the customer seeing it at $9 and not $10... Marketing...

Where to start?????? I have put alot big $ items on here and SOLD EVERY one at a reasonable price. If I don't sell it I'll trade it (+ $700ish in value for the tax) ,,,, maybe a 2010 BMW 1000RR next bike. When I go to the dealer its $500 more for F&P and $700 for tax,,, 10,700+1,200=$11,900 OK heres 1 better no credit? Financing available.
