P/X Value on GSA Triple Black

[fusionpaul]

Thinking of trading my 2012 Triple Black so was just looking for pointers on trade in value ? 1st reg Feb 2012 & just had its 12K service at vines, Factory alarm, ESA, full set of aluminium luggage (panniers & top box) with aftermarket inner bags, tinted screen, fog lights, standard seat & low seat, hard wired tom tom rider 2 with TT locking mount. Haven't yet contacted dealer for p/x price but just looking for ideas on what to expect !

Most of the goodies wont add any part-ex value. Put the original parts back and eBay the other stuff.

I got 10.5 k for a GS Triple black with varios but I only had 5000 miles on it against the LC hope this helps! Oh take the bling off and flog it on here or eBay!

Thanks for the replies, didn't think of taking bits of before approaching the dealer, just figured i'd get a better price with all the extras on the bike, so am i right in thinking i'd get the same p/x price on the bike without aluminium luggage etc...

Maybe the way to go first would be to advertise the bike as is, in the for sale section & hope i set a fair price.

Comments much appreciated, cheers all.

What bike are you getting then?

i'm tempted to have a test ride on the new LC, but am also test riding the GT SE. Just done a 1000 mile trip at the w/e to strassbourg & although the GSA was great on the D roads I was not impressed with its performance on the autoroutes for any length of time so figure the new engine in the LC could be a better choice !

Don't test an LC! Because you will buy it trust me it's awesome!

I bought my GS from a guy who had replaced it with a drop dead gorgeous GT SE. He said it's absolutely stunning technology but in UK he can use only a fraction of its abilities. In the end its a frustrating ride. He's going back to a GS when he's had some reasonable use out of the GT.

Tried gt, for same reason as you, motorway speed. Did not like gt at all, big heavy, low seating position. Cleverly made but not for i need in a bike. I still manage to cruise at 90/100 on gsa altho they sound like ur killing the engine. Once on smaller roads nothing beats a gsa in my opinion.

I have to be careful to keep my GSA below go to prison speeds. The engine has more than enough to get seriously illegal with not much effort from me. It feels perfectly happy doing pretty much everything except bouncing off the rev limiter (which is pretty pointless anyway).
