But this is the strangest used motorcycle market I've witnessed. Generally, you couldn't give away a CB1100 three years ago. Dealers knew they were extremely slow sellers and didn't want them as trade-ins. So they offered very little for them. Private sellers, after being lowballed by a dealer, put them on Craigslist for correspondingly low prices. And then "negotiated".
Now...low mileage used bikes are a hot commodity.
I'm not going to price the extras as if I should be reimbursed, but my bike is a great value for the right buyer. Very low miles, not a scratch, and recognizable after-market parts that suggest attention to detail...not hooliganism. I figure around $7,500, but I haven't done my number-crunching.
No point in offering the ECU separately. It "might" sell for $300, and it adds so much more than that to the bike with the other mods. As it is, the bike runs perfectly, and with extra acceleration.. I wouldn't do anything to that that might alter it in any way. Unintended consequences and all...
Yeah from all the money I’ve dumped into bikes and cars…you really don’t get the money back from them and I found out I make more if I put it back to stock and sell the parts separate like already said. I just got my 2013 CB1100 2100 miles but bought it from a friend at a good price. Now just looking to buy the rest of the mods like rear shocks, PCV and maybe front springs.
