    I'm not sure but it's a bad time of year to be selling a bike.

    Around 3250 for a good one but with the time of year you may have to just take 3k or less.

    Not sure if it's any help but I sold a 2007 gsxr 600 about 5 years ago and I think I got 3,400 for it. I know bike prices have gone up but I wouldn't be offering you more than 2,800 for it.

    Post a few pics of your bike OP.

    A spit and polish and decent pics would help.

    It's not exactly looking like it wants to be snapped up at the moment.

    I'm no expert but you can't judge the condition of a bike from distance pictures that show the bike from a load of different angles. I would suggest you need a couple that do that, but then most of the pictures need to be close ups that show the real condition of the bike warts and all.

    I agree with the pictures. Some close up pictures are needed. I trust a seller more if they post any cosmetic damage in the pictures. Last time I went to view a ''MINT'' bike it had a good few scratches and cracked headlight etc.

    My bikes are clean but if I was selling I wouldn't say they are mint.

    Mint to me is without a single blemish.

    the only 'mint' bike you see is the one they roll out of the showroom before they put the plates on it. After that, nothing is mint.

    I find Polo roll very well. :)

    Nice to see/buy a real-world 'mint' bike though. I don't like the term 'minter' somehow.

    Translate: great time of the year to buy a bike :)

    I just noticed the last 2 bikes I bought were both bought in winter months.

    Ok the bike could be made 'shiney' a bit, but outside of that the pics have too much 'scenery' in them. I can see more about the yard/car park/town than the bike. Re-take them, crop them or close-up, so that the frame is filled with the bike itself.
