What's a Gixxer Thou really worth then?
Been watching eBay auctions as a barometer of what a GSXR 1000 K3on might be
had for in the current climate. The latest two ended thus "reserve not met" http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...4386&rd=1&rd=1 Current bid: £2,050.00 Reserve not met Buy It Now: £3,950.00 Ended: 29-Jul-07 History: 5 bids http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...8780&rd=1&rd=1 Current bid: £2,700.00 Reserve not met Buy It Now: £3,250.00 Ended: 28-Jul-07 History: 4 bids I'm glad I'm not trying to shift one but I'd like to meet someone with a good example and desperate to sell for what the market will bear! -- Hog '03 ST4S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 |

FWIW the insco valued it at 10000 francs, so just over 4 grand sterling, which I thought was fair.

I might also say that anyone selling a not too disastered K3 for something under £3k could probably move it on a bit sharpish... -- Hog '03 ST4S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 |

Things can change a lot in a year and TOG did guess things would get worse. An incredibly wet spring has put paid to lots of plans I imagine. I am only looking at eBay mind, and it seems to be somewhere between 2 and 3 grand for a K3 ATM if you want a successful auction. -- Hog '03 ST4S '96 Bastard12 '89 R100RS '81 XS650 '78 RD400 |

I sold mine on Ebay and 3600 was my reserve. It hit reserve with the first bid and then no-one else apart from the dealer who bid. He then went on to sell it for 4k. -- ZX-10R |
