    What are equivalent race motards going for, ie, actually selling. Don't bother about street ones, this is effectively a race bike, having been raced, to a buyer. Also, are there enough races for this class of bike? ie, you've stepped to 450, maybe others are looking to do the same?

    Its winter, the economy etc, the market is shot.

    Give you a dorrah mister?

    I think it's because in the race photos you don't have your leg out. Post up some leg out photos and the punters will appear out of the woodwork.
    Keep on chooglin'

    I think it's worth making a point about it being wof'ed and rego'ed. and if you have the road gear mention that. If that ad stated it's a bike I could go for a weekend ride on, and the bonus of being a competitive motard if I wanted, would make it sound more appealing (A step closer to that magic "do it all" bike).

    Price to the age of the bike maybe? Also if you look at MX bikes arent holding anywhere near the new price after 1 owner.
