How much is my bike worth????

**Monorail** · 31st August 2006, 19:21

Hi guys,
I want to upgrade to an fxr150 or rg150 or kr150 and first have to sell or trade my current bike. It's a 1982 GS125. It's pretty tidy. Done approx 18000miles. The photo attached is a couple of months old. Any opinions are welcome... even negative ones.

don't expect much.. a few hundred bucks (got $1200 for my Kinetic GF170), so 1982 vs 2005 model, you'd probably be looking around 300 - 500 dollars (just guessing) not sure what the rest of the KB population think? hope you manage to find a nice replacement.. my friend has an RG150, and that thing can move!!

Put it on trade me with a low reserve, if the auction goes well then you are happy, if it goes really badly cancell the auction at the last minute. It looks tidy, uses bugger all petrol probably worth more than you think

Put it on trade me, things sell for crazy prices on there, especially when they are suitable for learners.
put it up with a start of $500, a reserve of $800, and a buy-now of $1200.
I reckon you'll be very surprised.
Put up lots of lovely pictures and write a proper description of the reliability of the bike, people need to be reassured of these things.

We'd probably trade it for at least $500.00....I'll keep an eye out for something you may be interested in trading it on.

I was watching a Yamaha RX125 a couple of weeks ago, $1 reserve and it got up to $870. Just been recon'd though, decarbonised and cleaned bore. Had done 30,000k, was an '80 model.
I reckon you'll get similar pricing, better if you wait til summer comes round some more.

Dont be a prick. If your not prepared to sell it for that price then dont bloody advertise it for that price.
