Oops, under 5000 was supposed to read under 5000 miles on the clock

Hi there and welcome to the forum  :onya: ..... sorry to hear your having to give up the bike and going on what you've said i would say your bike is in the £5500 to £6500 , thats going on similar bikes for sale on eBay with that milage and i dont think you will have any trouble selling it !
Good luck with the sale !!

its usual to go go the bar and introduce yourself  :cheers:

sorry to hear your selling your bike .
where are you ? uk , europe Australia , new Zealand or somewhere else !

the main thing is condition of it , colour and time of year.
i would say your a couple of months early for the best prices.
these bikes have started to become more desirable so prices hold up well.
so a few things to think about
tho I'm sure it will sell easily. 

good luck

:cheers:

Im in the uk, the bit hanging on/off the left hand side as you look at the map!  Thanks for advice, theres not a scratch on the bike, forks need a bit of polishing up. Got to be honest its the best bike Ive ever owned, but its got to go so not too bothered about hanging on to see if I can squeeze every penny out of a sale,   Ive never sold anything on ebay,  Ive heard they b*m rape you!

Do people still sell on mcn these days, how about Gumtree?

Best I pop into the bar and say Bore Da and get a round in.... uhm, where is it?

When you post click on "Attachments and other options". Then you see "Attach:" and a button "Choose File". Click on that button and it will open up the "Open File" window of your computer. You browse/select the file you want and click the "open button".

To post more than 1 pic click on "(more attachments)" and repeat the process.

If she truly loved you she would let you have it..... how much could you get for Emma on Ebay.?  I sold my first wife on Ebay, some geezer gave me 30 goats for her..... bargain.

I wouldn't be surprised if Emma snatches herself a nice low mileage 14  :happy1:
