JayBird Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I am planning to sell my low mileage, excellent condition Titanium 2000 CBR1100XX. I bought it brand new back in 2000 for about $12000. My last bike was a CB900F with the CBX fairing kit. I put over 30K miles on it, but just after I picked up the Blackbird my job/life changed and it has left me with no time to ride. I am located in South OC, California and have taken this on regular short trips, changed the oil many times and replaced the battery when needed. It has been garage kept, never tipped or scratched and looks like it came off the showroom. How much would this bike be worth and how would you recommend selling it? Send me a PM if you would like to discuss this or are interested. Thank you in advance for your advice. Cheers, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverXXrider Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Wow what a nice bike! Very Low miles. NADA has got the bike at $4,700 which I thought was a bit low. Kelly BB has got it at $5,500 a little better. I bought my '02 in '04 with 900 miles on it for $6,800. In my opinion you should get at least $7,500 to $8,500. I think you have a great machine there.

SR71BLACKBIRDXX Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 In my opinion you should get at least $7,500 to $8,500. No doubt your bike is as minty as they come...but dont expect to sell it for those #'s. $5500 -$6500 is more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryG Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'd have been all over it being here in San Diego, had I not bought and upgraded my '98 I bought in February. And I only have 17K on it...... But I'd have bought your bike in a second otherwise. Good luck....nice bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

testrider Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thank you everyone for the nice comments and information. I drove this one off the show room floor for $11,665 back on 5/24/2000. I can still remember how impressed I was with this new bike. What happened that you only put 786 miles in more than 8 years? Got other bikes? BTW, what year does the XX come with LCD? I saw this one still got the analog gauge? Does the 2000 XX have engine temp display? This is a nice bike with super-low mileage! However, by sitting for more than 8 years, it will definitely need a new set of tires and clutch/brake hoses at the minimum. How do the chain/sprockets look? Wonder if the O-ring in the chain dries out over time too? Did it get the recall done? I believe it was something about a defective wire hardness of the 1999-2000 model XX?

How do the chain/sprockets look? Wonder if the O-ring in the chain dries out over time too? Disagree. That bike was not stored outside in the weather- just look at it! I'd jump on it and ride it across country with those tires and brake hoses- no problem. Just check tire pressures and change brake/clutch fluids. Are you seriously worried about a 786 mile use o-ring chain as well? Your fears and worries are baseless in this case, amigo. Gorgeous bike, wish you good luck with the sale.

You obviously don't know much about 'tire shelf life'. Tires have a shelf life of 3 to5 years max and after that, the rubber dried out (internally that you can't see) and hardened. Just google it or call any tire manufacturer customer support line.

All should be inspected after such a long storage, but I think the brake lines & chain should be fine. & new tires should be purchased right away, as a safety pre-caution, theres nothing like buying a bike & dumping it a few miles down the road.
