Best way to sell?

Hiya Peoples.
Time to sell the Hornet, What do people consider the best way to do it?
I've checked out the Redbook for a rough valuation, which I'm taking
with a grain of salt, Besides taking the bike to a dealer, Is there a better
way of getting a true valuation?

It's a 2000 S model, First 2000 model Peter Stevens City sold, (I know
the guy who preps there bikes for the showroom floor, He preped my bike),
It's only done 16,845 km, Full service history, never been on it's side,
Moded standard pipe on the bike & a new standard pipe to go with it,
Uni-Filter filter, Oggy Knobbs, Some custom stickers, A set of smaller
indicators (not fitted) & a cover to cover the rear section of the seat to
look like a single seat unit. Tyres are BT010s with about 80% tread. Other
than that it's standard & in top nick. It'll have almost 12mths reg (paying
it next week) & a RWC.
I'm looking at asking for about $7,500 ONO.

Reluctant sale, But we need a second car & I can't justify (or really
afford) Rego & Insurance for 2 cars & a bike, And I don't ride the bike as
often these days, which I know the bike should get, A waste really.

Comments appreciated.

PS: I'll except a Kick in the Nuts, But it'll have to come with dollars
close to the asking price to make it worth it. >

 

Jeeeeeeeeeeezuz H Christ that's an expensive 250!!!! Anyhoo, good luck with
selling it. I know they are exxy new, but pharq me! For that I could pick up
a 2002 ZX636 with slight damage on the LHS fairing. Hmmm .. now I wonder???

Taking a bike to a dealer won't get you a "true" valuation. You'll
get a dealer trade-in value. But at least it will give you
a lower limit.

No better way to get a valuation than by selling it. After all, the
value of anything is determined by how much someone is willing to
pay for it.

So just advertise and see what you get.

Do they even make Hornet 250s? I thought it was a 600.

 

Firstly, commiserations.

..... but then, again, from the way you pair are breeding....maybe not.;-)

Where did you get the cover for the pillion seat?

As for the price, well, I guess it's worth what you can get someone to
pay for it.

It's a 600 FuTAnT, The 250 is a grey import.

Thanks for that Shawn.

Well I'm trying Ebay:

(But no bites yet!)

There actually are some 250 Hornets in Oz, but they were grey imports.

The 600 was a genuine Ozzie bike, as was the later 900.

Quite why Honda Oz stopped bringing in the 600 in favour of the 900, I
really dunno.

Aido's is a 600. The proper one!

Have you riden a 600 Hornet, Cam?

Actually, I'd rather ride a 250 Hornet in good nick, than a previously
crashed ZX636, but, then again, the world is full of people, all different.

Methinks one should not follow that URL with the word "bite"

TB

 

it?

find someone with cash

check
www.tradingpost.com.au
www.bikesales.com.au
www.bikepoint.com.au

also hit any bike forums you can get your hands on

try ebay , if anything it generates some interest from all over australia
and gets the photos out there

sounds good

need a 2nd car ?

buy the car that you really need for the wife and ride the bike

sounds like a challenge

anyone want to buy a ticket to see Aido cop a boot in the gooolies ???

 

From what I've seen, most bidders hold off until the closing days - or
even hours.

nah he's just a grumpy seller and i forgot to ask about the trailer

You asked:
"Hiwhat is the condition of the tank ? How are the carbs i hear that you can
have probs when sealing the tanks and the carbs block up ?How about
countersteering ? and wheelies ? i hear that these bikes have trouble with
these what about touring? I hear that they run out of fuel in the back of no
where ?Do you fit much gear on the back of it ? how does it go with a couple
of slabs on board ?Have you got any riding gear available as well ?? maybe
in blue and white ?? any safety footwear ?Is there any other gremlins or
curses that i should be aware of ??"

You should probably direct these questions to www.thehun.com Glen because
you obviously need to go and GET FUCKED!!!

 

You got me all excited thinking I had a bite you bastard!

But of course. You say 'no postage'. No-one's
gonna touch it if you won't post it to 'em.

Hmmm,..... that's a ****-load of bubble-wrap!!

I do hope you're talking about wrapping the bike Clem, not yourself. :-/

 

I wouldn't expect to get a bite with that url. But there's a sucker born
every minute.
