Depends on the crash damage and if its a private sale or a dealer. A minter in a dealer can sometimes only be a $1000 cheaper, this is to entice you to buy a new one. Hard to say what it's worth? What sort of damage, fairings etc? bent frame? prob worth $10K up I guess if minimal damage, how desperate is the seller? Jim2 just bought a brand new 2004 R6 for under $14K, so if its damaged yeah prob close to $10K?

They are about $15-$16k brand new. It lost 20% of its value when it was ridden out of the shop -$3.2K. It's two years old at a depreciation rate of abour 7% pa.
That's $12800-$896 for the first year which equals $11904, then $11904-$833=$11071 for the second year.
What do you mean by suspension bearings? Are you talking headstock bearings or swingarm? Or do you mean wheel bearings? How do you drop a bike and only damage the undertray? It sounds like it has been dropped vertically from 10 feet. Take all the fairings off and check for damage hidden by the plastic. If the subframe is cracked you'll need a new one. If the frame is scratched or damaged, don't buy it. If it has been "dropped" take $2k off and then double it, because it always costs twice as much to fix as you think it will. We're down to $7071. If you're willing to lose nearly $3k on the deal then offer him $10k.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

If it only has 2300km on the clock shouldnt need any mechanical work at all? What do you mean by suspension bearings? ex race bike?

sorry.....my bad........i should have read the report first...its not suspension bearings......its steering head bearings...and the LH side damage is due to a fall it had when the bike was stationary and the footpeg is also dmaged....

also neded to know the value for a K4 GSXR600 bought in aug and clocked abt 3000 km's......
Immature and proud of it.
I'd be ultra cautious, knackered head bearings at 2300km's? It's had a hard life or those k's are suspect.Originally Posted by anmolt

10K definately is a reasonable deal, I would consider it for that price, 'cept for one prob . . . . "she's" in charge of the $$

Sounds like the rider might have given it a good thrashing...... cunning stunts etc......
show him, or remember all the numbers and big words Jim was throwing around that made it worth F*** all on paper!!
(i remember when looking at buying a bike i made it pay for itself in train and parking fees and showed the loan providors (my parents) how this bike was "pretty much paying me to ride it...)
If he is going overseas soon and has had very little interest, you may get a primo deal (doesnt sound like it has been marketed well saying its been dropped etc....), Ride it, tell him it's cool so he likes you then tell him how it's not really worth much and offer him 7..... all he can do is ask for more.... he WANTS your money...... make it on your terms.......
If he is moving away maybe he doesn't want to take all his "awkward, heavy, gear" with him, offer to assist by taking it off his hands within the price of the bike........
The world stands aside to let anyone pass who knows where he is going....
