whats it worth

i am no expert but i think 5500 is a bit too high for a bike thats done 11k miles

i got my bike for 5500 when it was still in warranty and had done about 3000 miles and imho i paid too much for it, being a base model not factory..

granted you have a ton of goodies and probably spent a load on upgrading the bike but generally buyers dont consider mods as valuable, this is why you see quite a few people setting the bike back as standard and then chucking the mods on ebay for a bit of extra dosh

i would hazard a guess at £4000 for all of it but you may struggle to sell even at that price, the standard price of slightly aged models is down at about £2500 last i looked, below that and they are obviously selling fast cus thrs something wrong with the bike lol

obviously you should try and sell at what YOU think is a good price, just be careful of over pricing so much that it takes years to sell, and if you think "i dont mind waiting a while to sell it for a good price" you should take a good look at WHY you are considering selling at all

A quick look at Parkers gives:

Aprilia RSV 1000 R 2008/08

Original Price £8,869
Independent Dealer £4,605
Private Good £4,150
Private Poor £3,095
Part Exchange £3,475

Wolf's £4K valuation seems to be spot on........

Yup, My 2003 RSV is worth about £2.2 - £2.5K max. When I look at it I can't believe how little it is worth....
On the other hand If I wanted a new bike and only had a couple of G's to spend...wow.....

:exclamation

better off keeping it mate as for what they sell for you cant get anything better.

I wanted to part exchange my 2004 mint first gen for a second gen R they would give me next to nothing on the PX :-(

i just part exed my 2005 rsvr for £3200 it had 12000 miles on her i left the mivv x-cones on but took the other goodies off and made a few hundred selling them on here and ebay, have a look on autotrader and it'll give you an idea £4000 is a decent trade in price you would be better to keep it until the start of the summer when the prices are on the up now is never a good time to sell as people want to go out in nice weather on there new purchases not stare at them in a garage youll get nearer the £5000 mark but take off the pc3 and sell that you could pickup £180 for it.....
