Might be selling up!??!

Did undecided at the moment. Love the rsvr to bits. its cracking bike it really is.
I ride all year round and every winter the bike gets a kicking from the salt and cold! come spring the bike looks crap and I have to spend my money on replacing routine stuff and cant afford the nice bits again.

im thinking I might sell up and get either car for work or anothe bike that im not to bothered about then get another rsvr next year.

Anyways, if I do sell up, what do you guys think a good price would be or my 01 rsvr mille

7 months mot, 6 month tax, good tyres. will need new chain sprokets 18k just on the clocks, history, datatagged. mainly standard.

any ball park figures would be good. Like I said im not sure yet.

Judging by some of the prices on Pistonheads and Gumtree you should be looking for around £3500 mate.

I reckon that you could easily get £3K.

But don't do it, you'll always wish you hadn't if you do sell up.

Don`t do it matey, keep hold of the Mille !

Might sound daft, but how about keeping the beast and getting hold of maybe a scooter for work, or an old car ? You`d be surprised what £500 can bring you these days.

Then just do the same with the old car........stick it away for the summer, and use the Mille.............win/win situation ! :thumbup

The thing with bikes mate, is that they`re in your blood, and they`re NOT just transport, like anything with wheels would be for most people, and if your Mille is worth 3.5k (ish), you`ll only have to fork out the same money again when you come to buy another Mille............which I can guarantee you`ll want to at the first sign of a dry road and a break in the clouds come next spring.

Keep the Mille mate.................you know it makes sense ! :thumbup

dont sell it mate......you'll regret it

dex is the man!! for sure!! its not just about transport mate.....buy a little ****** car, but keep the bike mate...its a strong one yours dude!!

wise words lads . . . yup, buy yaself some cheap as city derby car that ya dont give a rats about for the wet pissin days orf winta, and rip the RSV out on those majic sunny mornings for a blast thru the lanes and so as ya can hear that sweet sound of ya twin pot Ape massaging yer ear lugs mate

Keep it Garvey and get an old stinker commuter bike - old bandit or summat will probably run you 500-1k notes mate.

I use a Honda CG EVERY day for work(40miles a day) and the week petrol bill is usually around £11 - £13 depending on how windy it is! Mind you, i got some VERY funny looks from dealers when they asked what bike i already have when buying a CG and they got RSVR as an answer!!!:dunno:nana

Yeah Might have a look about for a a rev and go 250 scooter. A cheap bangers not the option as I havent had my own insurance on a car for a good couple of years and the cheapest I can get on a 850cc car was 250 quid! I only pay 76 on the bike

Garv don't do it mate - get a little trailiie for commuting and fun on the ranges - it'll make the Mille seem even more awesome when you take it out at weekends:thumbup

Well the missus says no about buying another tool for work! having a re-think!

F**k me this sounds like a crisis - don't sell it! Tell your wife you px'd it for the CG125 and leave the Mille parked in my garage:thumbup

top idea Mike havent ridden a Cg for many a year. back in the day of the C90's. god the c90 could wheelie

Yeah, I used to have a C90 back in the days when I had a Norton Commando - needed the C90 because something was always broken on the Commando and a bike was my only transport!
Some things don't change - I guess that's why I've now got 2 RSV'sirate

C90 Wheelie technique - perch on back of seat, max revs then slam foot on rocker pedal, yeah, I remember.
