Lot of bike for the money, hardly run in

Good spec

Seems s/hand prices is finding it's level, if ebay is a true indicator (and it usually is - in an auction)

Probably £12500-£13000 nearly new - plus the extras

Lucky buyer, best way to find one and avoid dealer prices

 

[Hammy]

That is a great price....I'd have took his hand off

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Certainly is, the buyer has got a good deal

only if he can get to grips with the fucking awful gearbox

 

[snappo]

About £6 a mile depreciation on that, bet it made his eyes water!

 

[skywalker]

Its not the gearbox - its the clutch ffs

 

[chad]

Its not the gearbox - its the clutch ffs

yeah yeah

 

[Gossy]

Its not the gearbox - its the clutch ffs

Now fixed, just keep the spare oil in a top up bottle.

Seems like £10-£10.5k is the going rate for a 500 mile 12GS WC bike


Not much for a £12k-£14k bike depending on spec, that's the latest 'must-have'

Wonder why the s/hand vlaues are so low

 

[doyle]

Probably because if folk buy them and don't like them then if they go back to the dealer they will be offered a bit less

Personally if i was paying that kind of money it would have to be from a dealer

As autumn is upon us dealer part ex prices will drop as they reduce stock over winter, which will have a knock on effect on private prices.

 

[Fanum]

Makes me wonder why anyone would ever buy a brand new bike from a dealer unless it was discounted to the bone....

Someone took a huge hit on this.....hope it was one of the new generation wankers with more money than sense rather than a genuine GSer who had plunged in early

 

[Humbug]

It seems that it's rapidly becoming the modern clitoris of motorcycles.

 

[Hammy]

To be. Fair the second bike didn't sell because it didn't reach its reserve

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

To be. Fair the second bike didn't sell because it didn't reach its reserve

The big BUT..........................£10250 was all a free market bidding was willing offer

Kinda worrying for a new model

Reaching the reserve, has nothing to do with it..............buyers have only bid up to £10500 on the last 2 12GSWC to appear in an auction for 500 mile bikes

I think he is trading his in.

All this concern from non LC owner about second hand values. I had a mate at work he used to change his bikes every 3/4 months, nothing to do how good or bad the bike was . He just could...

 

[Captain Black]

I'd have serious doubts about buying such a bike. Couldn't be that its a crock of shit and the new owner as had enough of its shitness could it ?

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

All this concern from non LC owner about second hand values.

Not at all

Free debate and all that


Just find it a tad surprising that a £14k OTR 'bike of the year', is now struggling to achieve £10k in a fee bid auction, especially when some late model 12GS TwinCams and certainly Adv's are fetching the same and more than £10k

Perhaps without the availability of finance (ie via a dealer) to sweeten the deal, they are being 'bid low'

Surely any dealer (non BMW) could get it and make a turn on it

Is there something we don't know....................yet

 

[DING-DONG]

This one 16k, he's dreaming.
