FS: Honda VTR-1000 Firestorm -- TOG value? [Oxford]
|
I'm going to work in Singapore and there's absolutely no chance of
keeping the bike, so, here goes. I'm selling the bike, throwovers,
paddock stand, etc as I'll be bikeless for a while and I might as
well sell the lot.
|
Long time no seeing of posts Mr Bruin.
Are you going to Singapore to chase the locals by any chance?
|
Not sure of value. I think it's circa £2,000 but hopefully
TOG or SWK will chip in. I'm located near Oxford.
|
Heh. I was just ruminating that it would be worth about =A32k tops, with
all that kit thrown in.
|
Sounds like a lot of bike for not a lot of money.
|
Personally shocking, but you can't argue with the market.
They were going for £4999 (in the ugly blue) for a short
while. Someone is going to get a bargain IMHO.

Cheers TOG.
Seeing as it's ukrm, let's get the ball rolling with £1,900 ono.

Prepare to be flamed by the "real" bikers :o)
|
It rained a lot, Okay?
|
S'ok. I have similar sets of MOT certificates.
|
Actually, I agree. I should have used it more. Now I'm
just getting depressed. Should I pop out for a last hoon
right now or paint the house? Decisions, decisions.
|
I know the feeling. At least I'm commuting on the bike
a bit more these days so next year's MOT might have
a different first digit on the mileage[1]
[1] Actually, probably two seeing as it's 29xxx at the
moment.

Houses take much longer to sell than bikes. The house will still be there
when you get back from your hoon. YKIMS.
