Sig change

Another badly listed 400/4 goes for a song.
Looks a lot nicer than my existing one.

A song? £900 for a badly resprayed bike with a nasty seat, horrible
pattern front guard, revolting headlight mounts and an old Motad?

 

This is a wind up right!

£900 for that, 11 owners, only ridden once since last year, non
standard colour, non standard mud guards and headlamp brackets made in
a year 7 metal work class. The combination of all of these sets the
warning bells ringing.

Break it!

I looked at it and thought it'd take more than a bit of clever wording
when listing it to make it a decent bike.

It doesn't say much for the one owned by crn if this one's a lot nicer
than his.

 

I was thinking of a suitable reply along the same lines when I read
yours. There's one born every minute,

 

My existing one is crap but it does have a good OE front guard and seat.
The Motad and the rest of the brightwork looks to be in decent nick
and a couple of side panel decals are cheap enough.

Obviously the devil is in the detail so we shall see when I pick it up.
At worst I should get my money back with a bit of work, a tax disk,
and a new MOT.

 

Why do people advertise so many bikes on Ebay in that (1) format ?

When the seller is stupid enough to let ebay fill in the title.

I see.....

 

Ebay's autofill.

 

So I hear....

 

I was just talking to K about motorbikes earlier. I think I'm going
to ship my 400 Four over this year, along with some other stuff. Quite
looking forward to it.

Think I'll need some advice from dnc.

 

Do it. Yours is a really, really good one.

 

So how much would a 0 miles , unregistered and totally original one be
worth?

 

Assuming it hasn't deteriorated, I'd reckon £4.0-4.5k.

I've seen an utterly superb - really, as new - sub-2000 miler that
fetched £3.5k.

 

The Older Gentleman took a blunt brush and painted...

A lot better value than that 'Onda that was for sale on EBay.

 

Is that all? Jeez, RD350s are going for that now, and that's the YPVS
version not the more valuable LC.

 

And coincidentally, I called my parents today, and my Mum asked me if
it was okay for my Dad to get it running, get it MOTd and use it over
the summer.

 

There's one in my local bike shop. zero miles on the clock, no reg and
although I only gave it a cursory look over it seemed pretty much
unused.

Oddly its not on show, just tucked in the back of the second hand
section along with all the identikit GSXR's and CBR's
