looking at bike prices...

and when i look through Cycle Trader, i noticed a few 2002 bikes (one GSXR-1000 and one R1) that were ubber cheap. the R1 was 3300 with under 1k miles, and the Suzuki was 4100 with 3k miles. they are not in my area, but hell if i have to ship it for 800 bucks, i'd still be getting a steal <---- is that what im dealing with? is this a scam?

Unfortunately, the value of Japanese bikes drops like a brick dropped from an airplane. Those prices sound too cheap though.

right! dropping 7k in 2 years? the average for that year of bike is in the 7k range, not 3-4....

Obviously, the price reflects the the condition. You probably don't want to know "the rest of the story".

Re: looking at bike prices...

My guess would be scam.......but

Between 75-110% less than market value.

10-20% would generate the desired quick sale. They have either been down, The proverbial mother, father, husband , wife "I am going to sell that damn thing" for whatever reason....with bikes I see this happen quite a bit. Parents pissed at their kids for one reason or another(usualy because they bought a motorcylcle)

Or...It is a scam.

Re: looking at bike prices...

if ya go look at these look closely!!..i'll bet they've been down!!..i se alot of these bikes out there that have been rebuilt after a big wreck and then sold!!..sounds like these are way to cheap in my opinion...i've been riding and playbing with bikes most of my life!!..gotta '99 R-1 in the garage and a FZR-600 tricked out and a couple cruisers....i've owned prob about 30-40 bikes over the years...some i liked and kept...others i didn't and sold them quick!!..look closely at any bike ya buy!!!

They are crap, need a bunch of work or a scam. Sportbikes hold they're value pretty good.

Re: looking at bike prices...

Watch out for stolen bikes. I know it may sound crazy that people are trying to sell a stolen bike, but it happens more and more these days. Just make sure all the vin numbers match. Bikes get layed down alot, and yet another thing to watch for. Never buy a used one site unseen.

Re: looking at bike prices...

Sorry, Joking around


I own two bikes one's a cavalcade, the other is a Honda shadow 800


Both are 1988 vintage

I don't like crotch rockets. I had a friend who worked the race track up here in NH. I also see idiots doing too many dumb things wi
