what is a fair price


  

420cbr -> what is a fair price (3/1/2008 4:25:16 PM)

I found a '99 1100xx. The bike was laid over at least once from what i can tell.  Big hole in the r side upper and missing mirrors on both sides.  It started fine and sounds great.  It has a yoshi slip on, other than that it is stock.  They want 2500 for it.  The mileage is 8700 or something close, i cant remember exactly.  My question: is this a fair price for a bike in this shape? How do these bikes compare to the 600rr which is what i have now.  Thanks guys.

forgot to add, the rear tire is totally shot, you can see the threads and all, i also think it was laid over on both sides.

420 , 2 cents worth if i may, i own a 96 cbr 1000f and my freind who does my tires owns a double x, after putting my new rubber on he said lets go for a ride, i know a long stretch of double lane road.needless to say he smoked me on every test we did. 6th gear roll on 2nd gear roll on (i had 1 bikes lead for a secound) and of course top end. i chickened out around 135mph he said his speedo read 165mph,he was a quarter mile ahead of me for sure. After he embarrassed me he then hopped of and said " try mine!!" Hell Yea!!! i said, needless to say , i'm looking this morning for a blackbird myself, unbelivable!!!!  fast , fast , fast!!!!

Wish I knew a decent price on these.

So damn hard to find around here anyways.

no such thing as a fair price for these things, the ones that have a reasonable sounding price tag are JUNKED OUT and its almost impossible to source all the parts for a rebuild to nice shape. 

 the ones that are asking twice book value are the only ones worth buying.
its a very rare bike in the US....


if you really want to buy one, ive got a pristine 99 sitting in the garage.....im talking people cant tell it ever left the showroom....but you WILL pay a pretty penny for it.....

Hey guys.  I own a 93 1000F with 42000 miles and paid $2600 for it.  It has been laid down on the right side and not in showroom condition, but well maintained.  It needed a front tire too.   I am amazed at the quality of these bikes!  Best damn 2600 I ever spent!!  If I could find a Blackbird for that price, I would be all over it.

if it runs fine and everything is fine other then the crash i would say pay it.
