It's still a very valid point of course.

yes, but like the OP, i dont REALLY want to sell it. unless of course someone wants to give me that kinda money for it:wings:

2007 is a worse model plus neither bike has extras. The 2006 636 is the best one out of those but if you wana get one of them for cheaper be my guest.

I think you'll find that they maybe being advertised for more but not selling that high. But hey, what would I know right?

that has 24 thou k's on it...mine has 10. Yes I know that my price is a wee bit high but it is a good bike and like I said I am not in a hurry to sell. However, if someone were to offer me something around the 10k range I'd take it right away.

I got my 636 2 years ago, 12000ks, mint condition, with every possible extra (but no pack rack :no:), for $8k.

14000km more is not that much assuming the bike has been well cared for. Hell my R6 has over 60,000 still going strong AND is in better nick than others of the same age with half the k's

[TIBLE_90]

No, he was a realist.

How do you figure that? a 3 year old zx6r with mods and only 12 thou k's is certainly worth more than 8k. That is not a realist :no:

I do not see how "realistically" a bike loses half its value in 3 years with 12 thou k's and mods...I understand that a bike loses value as soon as it's driven off the lot so to speak, but mods add value and with so few k's it was definitely worth more than 8k.

I agree with that for sure but Km's really mean sweet fuck all I'm afraid mate. It's about condition and the knowledge of the owner/s. The whole km's thing is one big naive preconceived notion that a grandma should rely on for a Toyota Echo; bike folk really should know better! I'd pick a 50,000km model over it in a second if the owner has got his head screwed on and is legitimate. Half the people with 600's don't know what grade oil you put in them or how many valves they've got... :s

Another thing that people seem to get confused about is that mods in fact do not add value- it's easy to assume they would but what is one person's taste is actually not the other's. Mods are money down the drain from a seller's perspective. A lesson only learnt the hard way.

Make sure you know your stuff and good luck with the sale. The 05/06 for sure spanks the 07 in every way.

Good point, however if the seller does know a thing or two about bikes and has well maintained the bike then the k's do come into consideration. I'd rather have a well maintained bike with 10thou k's on it then a well maintained one with 50thou... However I am not in a hurry to sell and the price reflects that.

Ok, I brought a brandnew ZX6R 5 months ago, from a dealer, who shipped it to the other end of the country, with 12 months rego and WOF, and a 2 year warrenty, and a tank of gas, for $3k more than you are asking for your old 636.

Or my brain damaged mate, who has just brought a mint MV Agusta Senna, with like 4000ks, for $20k. And they were something like over $70k new a couple of years ago.

Secondhand bikes arent worth as much as you think, especially if you want to sell one.

Realistic enough for you?

First of all I know how much this bike is worth and I know it is not as much as the price I put up mmmmkayyy. In case you havent noticed I am not in a hurry to sell, and would take an offer for it in the 10k mark. If I was in a hurry to sell I would have put it up at a reflective price.

Secondly, why on earth would you buy a new bike if you (being all realistic) know how much that bike is going to depreciate in value?

[nodrog]

Well for me, it was because the 636 gearboxes seem to be made of cheese and dont take kindly to abuse, and after fucking 2 of them I was over splitting the engine cases and repalcing gears. So I got a good deal on a new one, with a warrenty, and a cassette gearbox. So when this one fucks out its less drama to fix.

And somebody has to buy new ones, otherwise there wouldnt be any secondhand ones would there?

And I know it will depricate alot in value, but that is life, in the real world.

Im still smart enough to know when its a good deal, for as you put it a DECENT BIKE.

[Vinz0r]

This thread is painful to read. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. You've been given plenty of reasons examples as to why your price is too high and the only response you have given that seems to make any kind of sense is that you don't actually want to sell the bike, which is why the price is high. Everything else seems to be you getting pissed off at other people trying to explain to you why it's not going to sell.
You can ask whatever price you want for your bike, but that doesn't mean it's anywhere near the price that a buyer will be willing to pay.

This is just my opinion, but I think you're better off not listing a bike at all than listing it way over what it's actually worth, there are plenty of examples of bikes that have sat on trademe for months on end. Eventually they *may* come down in price, but by that time anyone who has been watching for a while thinks that you're a twat and won't bother contacting you anyway.

this is fair comment. and when the price does come to something more reasonable... because its 'been for sale forever' you will need to drop it even more because 'you couldnt sell it before'
I happen to be looking for a ZX6 (or 636) to replace the 9. I can tell you as a potential buyer.. your overpriced and I skipped striaght past your ad. If everyone wasnt jumping on it I wouldnt have paid it any credit at all.

...I know the price is too high I never said it wasnt, if someone would have been interested in giving me something in the 10k range I would have been pleased. However, I do know for a fact that 8.5 is less than what it's worth. Somehow an innocent add post has turned into a huge debocle simply because I suppose none of you have anything better to do than criticise others actions. Also, i would change the price but don't know how:no:

"yours is worth less because you made 2 trips more to the shop to buy buttplugs"
-- " no yours is worth less cos you like it from behind"

LoL....knobs

Dude....i have a sneaky feeling you won't be selling your bike to any of these guys :)

[racefactory]

Despite what the bike is worth, the sad reality is there is no one with money in the market this bike is in. The younger people who buy bikes like this are all broke and only getting poorer, but at the same time it's not quite to the taste of the more mature and wealthier (unless it's treated as a crash and burn track/race bike in which case it's not for) who are out looking at Ducati's/MV's or Ariel Atoms. New 600s are taking a bloody huge plummet in sales around the world in western countries as the middle class is decimated.

A friend told me he was talkin to a chap who's been in the bike biz over the years, he asked him where are the supermotards and why aren't there any proper, small sports bikes like the old CBR250RRs and RVF400s being made anymore. He replied, 'Who are the people who buy these bikes? 18- 30 year olds. These people have no money.'

That's true, I don't know anyone over 27 with a sports bike personally. The people I usually ride with and see on the roads are in exactly that age bracket and as you said have no money...hell I am in that category. I have changed the price on trademe, but it may still be too high for some of you guys.

[racefactory]

For what it's worth- it's a damn nice bike in person. Beautiful and very tidy.

Oh yeah speaking of, anybody know the story behind this?

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/motorbikes/sports/auction-282981017.htm

It's been on sale for like........... since 2007-8?

Yeah, literally it's been on Trademe for 3-4 years.

[ducatilover]

This reminds me, a mate offered me an '08 at the start of the year. Circa 20km on the clock, black and unmolested for $7500. Then for $6k when it fell off the sidestand.
I'm in that lovely broke/can't even afford a pie group.

Nice 636 though, overpriced, but yummy.
