picked mine up for 7500, brand new. bastards put 1km on it to fill up the tank! For a while there the ninja was 6995, don't think the klx was ever below 7...

very interesting indeed... but it was really comparing apples with apples on steroids with flavour enhancers. i mean, a 4-5k difference is rather significant in that price range. Might as well spend 1-2k retuning it and then it'd be comparable. AND still looking better...Originally Posted by thommo77
talking about retuning. Anyone looking at doing that rejetting job?

I had a brief look at doing some mods, 331kit, rejet, new exhaust system etc, but looked at the cost of that, which was something around the 2-4k mark and being it would not increase the resale value by much decided against it, hence my klx is now for sale.
I guess if you love the KLX and it is the perfect bike for you, then might be a good ideal.

hmmmm.... 2-4k? where was that at? Planning on doing a lot of the work myself, taking it in for the parts that I get to and realise "crap... what does this bit do?"
Think I've got my system sorted atm, got the klx for commuting and trails, and a bigger project bike shared with a mate, so I can go on tours/rides and keep up (once the project bike is actually moving - still waiting for parts!).
V Twin ..... yum!
$5500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a total steal at that price!
I have just under 5000kms and although I have put Barkbusters, bars and Ventura Rack on mine; it DOES have some war wounds(side panel scratches!) from adventure riding and I've been offered $6000 for mine! I would think yours is worth at least $6500 considering the higher price on a new one these days!

Ok then, price amended to $6k.
Feel free to pass on the link to the guy who wanted to buy yours?
Pretty keen on a quickish sale, have new bike pretty close to purchase.

Well that was Motorad in WGTN - at the price you are looking for you may well be able to flog it to a dealer, you're not exactly trying to extract every last cent out of it mate!

Have dropped it back to $5500ono, as I would prefer a quick sale.
Tricky to sell to a dealer in these harsh financial times.
As a trade in it is not worth quite that much (well the offer I was given), so I would prefer a quick sale rather than trade in, for both the extra money, and I would rather see someone enjoy the bike, than go to the dealer even if the price was the same, so go on make me an offer anyone who is interested.

Will keep fingers crossed for ya! Good Luck - will look forward to seeing your new bike too!
