rucasree Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 So..im looking to buy a fz-07 and i stumbled upon one on Craigslist that has a lot of mods. So my question is what is the max i should pay for it? They are asking for around $8700. it has 2000 miles on it and its located in California . Here are the mods: -Frame Sliders -Windshield -USP output -Fender Eliminator -Front/Back Integrated Signals -Spiegler Race Brake Lines FULL SET -Bar end Mirrors -Akrapovic Titanium Full Exhaust -Radiator Guard - Relocated Rear Master Cylinder not sure if i can post a link so i just wrote it here. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParticleCannon Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've been told that selling a bike you should do your best to return everything to OEM, since you aren't gonna get what you put into it (and you'll get more selling upgrades as used parts). On the flip side I imagine that this should be more like an FZ-07 with 2,000 miles and thats it. MAYBE some consideration for the exhaust, but no more than half retail.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted April 6, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2016 $8700? That is ridiculous. You could get a new bike for that and have enough left for everything except the exhaust. The seller will eventually realize that mods do very little to increase the price of the bike. I would pay about $6000, unless it is the carbon Akra, then I would not be interested as it is too loud for me (see what I mean about the mods).

duenan Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 6k-6.5k Man, there was a guy selling his fz09 locally for 5500.00 with only like 500 miles on it. Too bad the fz09 is ugly or I would've jumped on that. Engaging with people that have personality disorders on a message board is like arguing with a rock.

lldemonll Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 he's not going to sell it for cheap enough to warrant buying it. i wouldnt pay more than 6500 if it's got less than 5k miles. anything more, 6k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
