F800 GS, what is the worth?

[Dean]

What is it worth ?

Due to my persistent looking at another bike from the dark side and my head being turned a few times my cherished much loved F800 GS is to be sold in the for sale section soon, once I get a few pictures together and collate the goodies and paperwork,


I was wondering what it is worth?

Dark magnesium Matt metallic. (Grey) 2009 model 58 plate

Good condition 27,591 miles at present. Garaged , Careful owner Treated with oodles of TLC

I have a lot of goodies, but will list separately giving the purchaser first dib’s or offer separately in the for sale section does anyone have an idea of realistic true value for the basic standard bike

 

[Dean]

here it is

anyone ideas to a realistic current price

 

[Deleted account 181015003]

£4000 to £4500

 

[Q plate]

800

£4000 to £4500

+1 for around the 4k mark in standard form. If you have a look on ebay not just at the asking prices but if you go to 'refine search' and select 'completed items' it shows the actual sale price that bikes sold for (in green)

AL

 

[Dean]

Thanks for the figures . The Ebay refine search is interesting I have never looked at that cheers

I went here for a gander this morning






But they was closed


But Holy cow did I have a nice ride 27,666 miles now

Hi Steve,

I'm getting together a fair price, there's a few, well a lot of goodies some part of the bike Suspension and stuff. I'm waiting for some advice on pricing the goodies had some from here as you can see for the standard bike. I'm awaiting my chief costing expert (the big fella) last seen swanning around in the Devon area.

I'm hoping to offer the bike with some goodies at a price, then give the buyer the first dibs option to all or some of the other desirable goodies if he or she chooses.

How do you cost goodies for resale? anyone here got a idea, view on that .


When I get it all together I,m hoping to sell lock stock, I need one of thoes big carrots. I will post up no doubt you will see the smoke signals and hear along the grape vine

What are you riding now , I'm guessing one of thoes nice @twin's

 

[Dean]

Lovely looking Bike!!


john.

Thank you John, as Steve T mentioned I think its going to be one of those bikes you miss once it has gone

It might be like a hot cake But it can wait for the right buyer, Its a cherished F8 that is what it is "I'm not desperate you Know" famous last pm

 

[ferrol]

Didn't you have a F650GS before this?

I'd be interest in the exhaust if its being split up.

my cherished much loved F800 GS is to be sold

To be honest no one really wants that particular model year any more. I'll take it off your hands and give you £500 for it because, well, you have a nice face

Yes indeed, F650GS twin great bike

I will bear you in mind for the Can, but as mentioned first refusal is to the proposed buyer

That's really good of you, your obviously a nice person, but I would not want to burden you rob you sound a bit like a used bike salesman)

. . . . . What are you riding now , I'm guessing one of thoes nice @twin's

My 4th @ went to a man in Sunderland in March, after 5 summers & 22k miles in my custody .

I've gone and bought wot you had before the F8GS - a 2010 Lava orange version from the 1st owner after he's done only 8k miles on it



You might recognise the road in the above picture - you rode south on it with the BIG FELLA several years ago Done a few more miles on the F658 in the last 7 months than the 1st owner would have done in about 3 years

As you know, most of wots on the F658 will fit the MK1 F8GS, hence my interest in the basic machine. But I can and do appreciate wot a Nitron shocker adds to the F8, so I could suffer having that left on the bike (for a price obviously ). Likewise the crash-bars - they look like AS versions! Slightly more substantial than yer average BM versions

Cheers,

SteveT

The F658 great bike I have collected loads of goodies along the way as you way, going from F650 twin to F8 made a lot of sense sharing the same parts and all

you are correct those are adventure spec crash bars ...... How could I forget those great roads on your door step

My chief costing expert is back from Devon now so will have figures and pictures before you know it.. watch this space, or smoke signals

 

[SteveT]

Dean,

Smoke signals recieved and much flapping of blanket over fire carried out in reply

Hopefully talk soon.

Dean , I'm looking at buying a Touratech seat like yours (since even the BMW "comfort ' one isn't that good on long runs.

Can i ask ...Do you recommend it ? Do you have experience of other seats ( is it better than the bmw comfort one or am i wasting more money ?)

Thanks

 

[dibbs]

Stuart I just bought a Touratech seat ( started with the standard seat, then bought a comfort seat and it was too low!) the Touratech one is much better, its higher and more comfy, I would deffo recommend it...HTH

As dibbs mentions The TT / kahedo has a lot of gel in it, being a high touring seat it is deep filled I can only compare , standard, sargent and the TT one. I have never tried a bmw comfort seat so can not comment on it.. standard is a plank sargent is saddle shaped and nice and comfy but the TT has maybe a tad more comfort
