Paging TOG: valuation please

Its time for a change so I'm looking to flog the V Max. Its a 1990 full
power imported in 2003.
Mileage is 15000 . Extras are:

Frame brace bars
Doma exhausts (not BS stamped but not stamped ŒFor Race Use Only¹
either).I¹ve not had a problem with the MOT with them but they are damn
loud.
Flyscreen
Braided hoses all round.
Progressive Shocks

Its taxed till 31/7/06 , tested till 13/1/07.

How much should I be asking for? Parkers suggest £2250 for a 1993 , which
seems low to me.

Cheers

Steve

It isn't black, is it?

Like, uuhh, black with shiny chromey bits all over it?

Your phone is the wrong colour too.

 

S'not black , its blue.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Steve belched forth and ejected the following:

Some time ago, I *almost* considered one but then Yamaha bought out the
MT-01 which, IMHO of course, id a much better prospect.

I once described it as a VMax on steroids and if I'm ever in the
position of buying a bike like that, It'd have to be the Yam.

With V-Maxes, condition is everything and age isn't so important - a bit
like Gold Wings.

A really immaculate 1990 Max with decent improvements should make £2500.
A slightly tired looking one (grubby, corrosion on the frame, and
casings, etc) will probably make under £2000.

 

Thanks - £2500 were my thoughts , but didn't know if I was being over
optimistic. FS post coming up.....
