Resale value ?

[Acpantera]

Just wondering what my bike might sell or trade for. It's a 2007 R1200R abs with 48,000 miles, it has new tires, brake pads, paralever boots, ball joint boot, heated grips, all fluids and filters along with a corbin seat(w/the stock one), wunderlich risers and mirror extensions, throttlemeister throttle lock and system bags.I know kbb lists trade just under 6 grand and retail just over 8 grand, but selling a bike with nearly 50k miles seems tough to do, most the roadsters I see for sale are low mileage garage queens selling for bluebook. Does anyone have any encouraging words on selling high mileage decent motorcycles?

the others will violently disagree with me but I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH. the resale value is virtually non existant. worse than a rice burner. you get 8k for your bike you'll be lucky. that's one of bmw's very dirty lil secrets-- horrible resale value, and in the last 3 yrs bmw has definitely suffered and earned a reputation of poor customer relations... I could go on but the fanatics here would flame me.

Thats what I'm feeling. Most likely I would be lucky to get 6 grand for the bare bike, sell the corbin for 300 and bags for 700.

Acpantera,my personal opinion is:48,000mls on bike=well broken in,+extras=like brand new one.Obwiosly, never get that price what the bike is worth.It is so amasing,going to make lots of guys"boring"with long-long lasting quality and life to sell it.Well,this part is wery personal.Resale walue?I have no qlue.I will never sell myne.

Brgds,Steve H.
