Are you running a sweep so that we can guess the price and location?

hehehe - i realised afterwards what a fookin dummy I am. I blame the
fact i couldn't ride it today & am sulking.

OK, it's in West Yorkshire, near Leeds, but I don't mind a ride to show
you it or you can drop in at home etc.

I will put it on eBay at £2400 & accept £2200, given the condition etc.
Bikes are like Land Rovers, you don't buy them on age, you buy them on
condition.

Just reading last months DiRE mag & it reckons the 96-97 is the best of
the blades. You can fit 4 cans of beer under the seat! Mind you, don't
open them for a while after.....

Come & have a look if your interested, don't take my word for it.

I think you'll be waiting a long time to sell it at £2200, let alone
£2400.
I may be totally out, but £1500-1750 sounds about right to me, certainly
I'd never pay more than that for a 10yo Fireblade.

As i say, you don't buy bikes on age, you buy on condition & this is
like new. But, it is worth every penny.

Ebay completed items suggests that you're being very optimistic.

But it has done 22k miles, so it's most definitely not 'like new'.

Thats a bit pedantic isnt it? As in many machines, they bed in at
mileage, the Fireblade engine is not some lawnmower engined chinese
copy. You know that it is probably as good as, if not better than new
at that mileage.

Anyway, eBay here it comes.

I did expect some flack here, afterall, it is me selling the bike.

Alas, being in the clique adds values to bikes now as well as spouting
bollocks all day.

If it doesn't sell, i'll keep it.

It may well be, but you won't shift it on ebay at that price. The
highest bid for any '97 'Blade has been £1750. How do you plan to
convince a bidder that it's worth over a third more than that?

I wouldn't call this flack, not by a long way. The worst you've been
called is optimistic.

It's OK for you to say it *is* worth it, every one selling anything says
that, but it's only worth what anyone else is willing to pay for it. If you
get your price great, but if the price on fleabay seems to be £1750 thats
what it's worth I'm afraid.

No, it's not. You're asking at least £400 over the odds, and that would
be for a UK bike, Foor a Jap import, the price is lower. That may seem
unfair, but that's the way the market works.

The world is awash with really good condition low-miler Blades. Buyers
can pick and choose. And they aren't going to choose a parallel import
at a price premium.
