I'm a naked bike lover.

Sadly I am not in the market as such a large bike doesn't suit my current needs, however if I was in the market I would probably be prepared to pay $10,000 max. with no value added for the accessories.

1) trade me has rooted the second hand bike market

2)cruisers and sportbikes sell, big nakeds are a smaller market and not so easy to flick on.

3)an offer closer to 10K would do the trick

I lost over 30% on the sale of my 05 blade which has done 11,000km. I consider myself lucky to get some money back though (cash via tardme)...

There are shit loads of bikes selling on the current market, SELLERs are destined to be losers I am sorry to say....

$10K5 and it will sell mate. Its only money you are loosing at the end of the day.Money can be made back again but the fun time you are missing out on can't.And I bet you'll forget all about the money the day you take off on your new Blade.

You seem to be stubbornly insisting that it is "worth at least" 10 000

There 2 kind of worth
The first one is a personal feeling and only applies as long as you want to keep an item

The second one is the "true worth" and comes in the moment you are selling. It is fixed not by market value, estimated value, comparativ value ar any other kind of valuation other than :"""WHAT SOMEBODY IS WILLING TO PAY IN CASH"""

End of the painfull story.
We all bleed for you, honestly..................

We now have an 07 Blade in stock, and everyday it sits there tormenting and moking me!

All i want to do is ride the bloody thing!

SO BUY MY BIKE!
Or tell someone else to buy it!

Its an 06 CB1300 (black/silver) by the way.

I told you when you got it that you should have got a ZRX1200R

I'm afraid that I'm in agreement with the geezers that think you'll have to drop your price mate. I took a big hit on my SVthou

But I'm over it now. The very best of luck to you mate.

Why is my bike not selling!?
Short answer Its obviously worth more to you than anyone else because you still have it!!!
Buyers market and all that.
Better to get 10k now rather than wait another 3 mths to get 9k
of course if you hang on to it for 30 years it could become a "collectors item" and you could get 100grand. Then again you may not.
Converting anything to cash, its only worth what someone will pay at the time. So how desperate are you to sell?

if its such a good bike why not keep it and get your moneys worth out of it?
1 year 7000km lose 5grand, 70c/km
3yrs 50,000km, lose 10grand, 20cents/km
10 years 150,000km lose 15grand 0.1 cents/km

But you know all this, you just want a new bike!
