    When do you think the best time to sell a bike is?

    I'm thinking bout selling the bike soon and getting a ute as the bike just isnt practical anymore.
    Im thinking december is the best time to sell with summer and all.
    What do you guys think.
    Its a 2003 Gsx250, but it has some fairing damage.
    250s are always popular for the whole l plate thing but still reckon it'll be worth more in summer.

    it will be worth more in summer due to obvious reasons but more to the point wtf? if its got 4 wheels its boring/dull/intheway/gay. if you can wait till summer to sell it then do you really need to?

    Never, unless you are on your way to buy a new one.

    yeah i used to be into cars in a big way. my ex girlfriend and i had a couple of worked jappa's but then i discovered the dark side and have only bought one car since and its a shitty old celica gtr for ummmm... fuck i dont know why i have it now that ithink about it. (might have to sell it now. lol.) but kudos to you if you can manage life without a bike after you've had the taste of blood. (wish i could, would be alot cheaper.) but pm dilz about it. i think hes looking at getting one for his missus and hes a suzuki fiend so you might be in luck.

    yeah, jappas are nice, but they are costly to buy and insure, plus you get no trunk space lol

    The day before the motor blows up...or similar.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
