99 RGV150, good condition, good tyres, moderate milage.

What would it sell for on trademe?

Im looking at buying it, wanna make sure of its value.

Just a guess, maybe around 15-1700 or so.

As much as someone is prepared to pay for it. How much would you pay for it?

Maybe a touch more than that as it's a '99...

Still, would need to see overall condition and so forth... how many kms, if it's only been run on synthetic oils, how long since it has been rebuilt (if at all), has it ever been down the road...

Link to the auction? :)

FXR's go for $2,000 thereabouts, I expect the RGV's would be about the same but take note of the differences
- 2 stroke is a little more vulnerable than 4-stroke in wear and tear so kms makes a difference

- RG's have more HP than FXR so they may have been dropped more often by inexperienced riders

- RG's and FXR's are popular and hold their price, the FXR seems to hold its value a little better

thats about where my thoughts are to, depending on condition and milage etc.

Is it an RGV or an RG?

RGV - air cooled, slow, front fairing and belly pan, ugly
RG - water cooled, quick, full fairing, sex on wheels

I reccommend the RG. For the same price you're getting a better bike. And my opinion wouldn't change if I wasn't biased

RG and RGV are great first bikes - coz they're easy to pull apart and re-assemble.

Once you've tried 2 stroke you'll be hooked too!

We have a VTR250 and an RG150 in our garage. The VTR is for sale but we're keeping the RG forever.

One of my mates has a RGV150, it's ugly as hell, due to the lack of fairing :P

I've got an RG150, looks great, goes hard.

2 fakin grand for an 8 year old 2-smoke? That's approaching SOB territory. You kiwi's go bonkers for SOB's

Get a 4-stroke. 2-smoke are $hite. If you MUST have one then at least run it on Castrol TTS so at leat you're $hite old 2-smoke smells nice. :second:

I plan to run mine into the ground too. Brilliant around corners, and the NC30 shock improves handling 10 fold
