Mine today £6.5K for my 2011 Multi S touring with 4.5K on it, i'm not going to name and shame the dealer as they normally bend over backwards for me but last month i was offered £9.5K from another dealer, ok it was a slightly more expensive bike i was after but still £6.5 for a bike that will go on the floor at £11.5K + is a bit of a joke.
I couldn't get one Ducati dealer to give me a price cos I'd bought it from another Ducati dealer. Ignorant bastards.
I'll give you £0.01p for it in px for the remnants of a part eaten malteaser - now is that a new worse for you?
Sell it privately, it ain't hard. My mate flogged his bike to webuyanybike.com, reckoned he got a good deal but wouldn't say how much, so in the interest of curiosity I offered my bikes up. For my 2005 Triumph Sprint 1050 they offered just £1200, and for the '03 fuglystrada...£600
Your mates a fibber. You'd get more by raffling it at the village hall jumble sale than anything they'd offer you from Webuyanybike, they're a bunch of jokers!
It ain't just cars and bikes, believe me. A mate has just been describing to me how he sold his narrowboat, and without even discussing figure I know he got stiffed for at least ten grand, just by how he described the transaction. And he thinks he's smart...
Mine is booking around 7.5k and got offered 6.5k on a streetfighter I wanted 2k cash back on mine !! Miles apart
The problem is most people buy on impulse so all they're focused on is the new bike. It does make sense to sell first, take your time and then buy, but very few do it this way so they end up panic selling.
The problem is people sell when they need money. No ordinary idiot goes to webuyanybike.com, only the desperate idiots. ~The rest of us have worked out that if you sell privately you actually get the market value for them
dealers want to fk u both ends of a deal now , bottom book against top ,used to be meet in the middle, supposed to be a nice time buying something new , its just a pain in the arse, got offered 12k for my panni s that was the lowest , its a keeper now , cant be chewed , now the wifes hinting for a new car because the two front tyres want replacing and its due a service ,ha fkin ha ,more hassle off dealers ,

Cost to change is surely the most important thing. They may well offer you less for your bike but have dropped the price of the new/newer one too. It comes down to how they present the deal.
Yup. Offered me £3.5k for a carbon 749r with 4k mikes! They had no clue about the diffence between models, and given its not an automated service (had to submit details, wait hours, then someone called to confirm all details again before someone else gave a price a day later) you would expect some work to go into a valuation. Complete Muppets.
Haha. It's staying now. I tried them out of curiosity as some car prices are not too bad. The Streetfighter is still definitely going as I have bought a monster 1100. Interestingly they quoted 5k for the SF, and I've had 3 offers on eBay for that same price.. Doesn't make it right though as I've had higher offers too Back on topic... Dealers will try and pay what they can get away with, who wouldn't if they were in the dealers shoes?!

I know a dealer who was making as little as £50 profit on some new bike sales (albeit smaller bikes) so you can't really blame them. It's up to you to look after your hard-earned, so sell privately, then haggle hard with cash for your new bike. It ain't rocket science.
well this is something I will never get my head around Figaro ,, ive heard dealers say the same thing and tbh I don't know how they exist because if they have say 10k in a bike and make £50 its just not viable to stay afloat , you may as well stick your cash elsewhere and do nothing, you would make more than £50 , that's why I think they talk shite, this is off big bikes as well,
