What would you pay: GSX-R600 K6?

[EnzoYug]

This is not an ad, merely an attempt to settle an argument provide some perspective.
As always, value is relative to a bunch of things; choice, demand, relative expense, opportunity cost etc... but the question is. How much would you lay down for this bike, right now:

Suzuki GSX-R600 K6
50,000 ks
Full Service history (8,000k intervals)
Exceptional cared for etc etc blah blah
No track use.
Completely stock save for; K&N filter, Yoshi Y-55 Slipon and Crash bungs.
No tech failures / issues bar a flat tire or two along the way
Red & Black - IMAGE


ps. "I wouldn't touch it with my cousins grubby dick" and "Nothing, cause I'm a poor bastard" are reasonable responses.

Just wondering what the KB Market reckons because TradeMe is full of over optimistic fools, dealers are full of shit and my mates are fucking stupid.

pps. Feels good to post again

Why don't you start the conversation by ascribing what you think is a fair market value and then see how many idiots disagree with you?

[SMOKEU]

Probably around $7k-$7.5k. That value also depends on the type and condition of the tyres, chain, sprockets etc.

[rossirep]

50,000 ks on a lil 600...?? it aint worth fuck all..

[Damantis]

But to buy it at 7k I think it would need some bling blings and 12 months rego and new tyres, chain and sprockets. So probably an auction at 5.5k would sell it for upward of 6, IMO

We seem to pay a shitload more for most things in this country so you will probably find someone who thinks its a bargain at 8k

[BMWST?]

not interested at all...so nothing

[Conquiztador]

I take it is a 2006 model (as per the picture). And I assume it does not fit inside the LAMS L bracket. (Cant be bothered checking but most unlikely I recon).

At 50K there should be another 50K in her before something more major is needed. I take that she has rego and WOF. A 600cc bike is in my book a compromise bike. You have "stepped up" from the L bikes but are not ready for a 1000cc+ one yet. There clearly is a market for them and many do not want a big heavier one anyhow. Many females find the 600cc market a good compromise. Thou, get one that is just below 600cc and you save on rego...

It is not a bike I would consider for anything as it has no appeal for me. So if I ever was convinced to buy one there would be a reason that I currently do not know of.

Taken all this in to consideration I would not give you more than $5K. If you said "piss off" I would happily walk away.

As comparison, something I could consider as a toy would be a Triumph Daytona 675. Same mileage and around same age I should be able to get one for $6K.

I'd answer seriously but I'm measuring string

[Jantar]

For similar bikes dealers appear to be asking around $9K - $10K. Considering that they will pay $2K - $3K less that means its probably worth somewhere around $7K

However I would be looking at that 50,000 km over 6 years and be asking why it,s less than 10,000 km per year. Was there something wrong with the bike that made it not so nice to ride? So if I was considering this bike I'd offer maybe $6K

I can't tell if the first part of your post is serious or not. It's a 112 BHP supersport bike. Of course it's not a LAMS bike. What on earth are you riding to think that a 600 sports is "compromised", and a "step up" bike? An S1000RR?

Anyway, on thread I wouldn't pay more then 5-6k for one. Any more then that and you're starting to get into the territory where you can find new or just barely run in bikes for not a heck of a lot more. Certainly anyone willing to spend more then 7 is a bit crazy

[DEATH_INC.]

Yup, 5k max. It's old now.

Ever seen one go round the cemetery circuit in front of GSXR1000s?

[kiwifruit]

2500, immediate settlement

[c4.]

Agree with death.
5K if yr lucky, depends on how long you want to wait.
