Used bike value?

[Feirax]

I was wondering if anyone has traded in their bike and what they got for trade in vs the msrp/retail book value? Basically I want to know what my '02 Sv650 with 10k miles is worth. Also I have a givi screen/spools/stands that I want to go with it, and want to know about what I should ask for it or just try to trade at a dealer??

Thx,

Feirax,

I used to work for a Suzuki, Honda, Kawi, Yamaha dealership. They probably offer you somewhere in the neighbor hood of 3200-3800 for trade. Add-ons don't add or subract to the price.

Having just sold stuff on Ebay that is the way I would go. Just make sure you set a decent reserve.

no offense, scotty, but i hate reserve prices... if there's a minimum you'll sell for, start the bidding there. wastes a lot less time.

and feirax, too bad you don't have an S... otherwise *i* mighta bought it.

Hey twray, the ergos of the S scared me away.. wasn't sure if I'd be comfortable all day.. But after riding the SV, I find myself leaned over on the tank most of the times with my arms almost paralell to the tank.. so I think I've convinced myself (with help) that I can ride an SS for an everday bike.

Let us know what you get for it.

I'm just curious. Mine has 12k on it, I figure I wouldn't get much since there are so many on the market that are barely broken in.
