silverbird1100 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Crooks want way too much but one of the few left like this. https://southwestcycle.net/Cape-Coral-FL-33909/Used-2003-HONDA-/VDP/91b8bcfd-7ac2-45e0-95cf-f2e011995651 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John01XX Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 crooks and ignorant as well!! Check out this beautiful all original 2011 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird! Don't be fooled by high dealer prep fees and rebates that are impossible to qualify for! This is a true price with a ultra low dealer fee of $250. Any additional fees are taxes and tag. THAT IS IT! Come see the Cycle Guru at Southwest Cycle. We deliver! We finance! * delivery cost may differ per location 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXX Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not necessarily a “crook” but definitely priced high. Where can you get such a pristine stock bike for $7K with that low miles? You can’t. Ignorant? Possible typo? He’s asking $7 knowing he’ll get $5500 or $6. He asks $6 and he gets $4500. Guaranteed to sell it and good on him for getting what he wants. Don’t be jealous - cause you know you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superhawk996 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Everything is worth what someone's willing to pay. Sport bikes are far from a necessity so I can't fathom calling someone a crook or gouger for putting a high price on it. Simply move on to the nexxt one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly...if the bike was a minty fresh as it looks and it was being sold by a store within 3 miles of my house....I might consider buying it. For me it's all about convenience. I was going to buy Fred's bikes...for more than he was asking...but the hassle of getting them made it not worthy. I just don't have that kind of time...

Gouging almost never applies as its used by people who simply don't like the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironmike Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Prices have been quietly increasing on low-mileage pristine examples of the XX - there just aren't that many out there. Unmolested (factory stock) examples are scarce enough (rarity and desirability matter), and consequently tend to merit collector attention, which inevitably fuels price escalation. Remember, it's always about what someone is willing to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Prices on motorcycles are crazy high right now, at least dirt-oriented bikes. Not sure if it's also affecting street. There's a thread on the adv forum right now bitching about high bike prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbird1100 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) I’d have paid him 6k last year when I was desperate. Glad I found what I needed there can’t be more than a few left like this. Edited December 18, 2020 by silverbird1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXBirdSlapper Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If someone had listed that thing here the usual suspects would be shit posting a storm all over them, and explaining nobody will pay that much then estimating it at a 3k sale after a long wait.

superhawk996 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Every once in a while I think "I don't ride the Bird enough to be worth keeping, I should just sell it". Then realize that as long as it doesn't get fucked up it's done depreciating...plus, it's so damn purdy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBX1050 by most owners, but it varies and the crazies that own them have arguments about what the CBX TLA translates out as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
