Hey everyone, first post here, hoping someone here can help me out to make up my mind about this offer This is with dealer. 2014 ZX6r: 50k KM No extras other than Hyperpro RSC Reactive Adjustable Steering Damper (~400 euros) New Michelin Road 6 tires Trade-in Offer: 6250 EUR Picture: https://imgur.com/REYdnMo 2014 899 Panigale: 34k KM (Next major service 48k KM) Extras: Termignoni mufflers, Quickshifter, ABS + Traction, Various carbon parts, ECU Flash by RB Engineering (+ - 160hp) Price: 12 290 EUR Picture: https://imgur.com/oJpTIBg So overall I would need to pay 6040 Eur to trade-in my bike for this one. Any thoughts? Would you personally do it, if the 899 was your dream bike?
Yes if it was my dream bike, only issue I’d have with that one is the 34k Km. I assume you plan to keep a dream bike for a long while so that’s not particularly low mileage if that’s the case. Just a thought
IMO and purely based on what the 2 bikes are being listed at on the UK eBay, the trade in on the ZX6R seems about right but the asking price for the 899 is high. The second hand market in the UK is distorted by the poor availability of new bikes and I suspect it's similar in Holland. My feeling is you should be looking at in the region of €4000 plus but less than €5000 to change. Andy
Finding a good motorcycle deal in Holland is really difficult, when I look at UK prices I'm always jealous Thanks for your input, I might wait a few more months to see if something else pops up. I'm also not too excited about this mileage and fairly soon-ish major service with desmo drive, but from what I read these 2014 899 Panigales, don't have much problem going to 100k KM, and are pretty reliable, so for long term I shouldn't have much issues?
the cost to change is high and the miles are high on the pani but thats viewed through the lens of the uk market where we are spoilt for choice
