DaveK Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 OK....I am going to take a stab at value. In my opinion there is 3 values to this bike. Your desire, in person value, and Ebay type value. Ebay....prolly high 4's mid 5's. In Person.....mid 7's. Personal value sounds like 8 or 9. What I mean by in person....if I saw it in person at a bike night type event, we spoke for a while about it, saw your love and affection for it, the super high end parts and pieces you have on it gone over and described in detail....I think it carries more value. Could you get more if it were in pieces? I know those parts are fucking expensive. Is it flat black still? If it were some ridiculously hot and shiny color, personally, I think you would get more than the paint job would cost....simply due to the convenience of it being done. Maybe use a marketing idea of "if you buy the bike at this price....you can choose the color of your choice" and you pay for the work. Candy Glory Red (2001 XX) would look fucking sick. OR....paint a picture of The Rock on it and call it the punisher and I am SURE someone will pay 10+ for it. Good luck with the sale....

cbrxxquad Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 One of the few bikes that I have lusted after. Among other things. No one any place else will understand the love in that piece. Please price it out of my range.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please price it out of my range.. See, Stan just proved my point. It's worth much more to any of us because we know. Ebay, Craigslist.....might be a waste and actually disappoint you.

Redbird Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hate to say it, bud, but you might be better off parting it out. Pretty sure the bolt on front conversion and tail conversion would sell quick now that you did all the work. Wheels, rotors, shock...then all the OEM stuff like bodywork, frame motor, it'll add up quick. I couldn't do it if it were my bike and more importantly my work, but it makes sense financially. Honestly, you need to keep it, you'll never get what it's worth. If you're going to sell it whole, I'd say you need a proper paint job to get closer to what it's worth.

TOXXIC Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I completely agree, parting it makes the most monetary sense. Maybe I should have Hobi ride it to Seattle. Then, I can pimp his ass out on the curb to pay for his one-way ticket home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFT Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Jeff, That is definitely a work of art. It would be a shame to part it out. Whatever you get for it, it won't be enough. I hope someone who truly appreciate's it ends up with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I know it was a tough decision to sell something you've put so much time and effort into. I know I had to think long and hard about selling my XX and yours is a lot more customized. Good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4XX Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 If you're going to sell it whole, I'd say you need a proper paint job to get closer to what it's worth. "Satin Black" Save it for friends to ride...or Reid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdman Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Jeff, What are you replacing it with? I don't know if I am selling yet or if I do, if I'll replace it at all. I think I may take advantage of this crap real estate market and get a few extra bedrooms, a bigger garage, and a better school district. Who knows?

OMG Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 There are some things that just can't be replaced, this is one. When you are old, you will wish you still had it. And how much does it cost to keep? Think about it, someday one of your great grand children will find it in the back corner of the garage covered up and will be stunned! Being the genius child that they are, they will secretly formulate fuel and whatever is needed to make the thing run again. They will then secretly roll the bike out and learn to handle it and one fine day will scream it down the highway. Once again there will be someone on the planet that will feel the freedom of riding! Then the police will catch them and subject them to the mandatory thought management training. Oh well, good luck, I'd love to buy it just to have another one.

I agree with this...but when it comes to having a bigger house to better suit your family....not so sure an RV can be considered a keeper. I would also bet....he doesn't ride it as much as it being a labor of love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell your Sperm... it's obvious that shit works, since you're not going to OzarXX again for the Same reason as before. .... Yes I'm still Mad. ... It's a mental thing.... I'm starting to Go Insane over this.... .. Part of me wants to say "I understand, and can see your Point", but... the other part of me that LOVES your BIKE so much... is over-riding my Sanity. . I'ld say it's worth.... $ 9 - 10K. if not more. No Joke. You have to look at it as a "Custom Bike", not as just a modified bike.... there is a difference, and that difference is what makes Your bike worth so much more.

It really doesn't matter how big the house is or where you live. School yes. The most important thing is for them to learn independence and to know that they are loved. Then let them go and have a nice ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
