Dreamer of the year - bike edtion

KTR1C · 15-06-2015 4:29pm #1

They have this over on the "motors" forum and since seeing this on donedeal.ie I thought we needed the same. This time of year tends to bring them out.

Check out this nugget to get started

MOD NOTE: Please post a screenshot and price detail in all posts - since its donedeal many links are gone within days.

wow, dreamer is right - state of that exhaust!

I looked at the pic without looking at the price, and I thought 400e

arybvtcw0eolkf · 15-06-2015 5:36pm

€2,500 for that lol.. I sold one in immaculate condition for €1200 three years ago.

The tassle-merchants are often quite optimistic with their prices. Fine bike, though.

Does it come with the back box/chest?
It must still have some pirates treasure inside.:pac:

Maybe he is under orders to sell, and hopes it doesn't sell.

Crashed Fireblade with no headlights or clocks?
Probably worth around 500 quid!

I know the price of bikes has risen a bit but wouldn't pay this
For a 04
I bought a 05 with 7000 on the clock over 2 years ago for €4k.

Low miles and looks clean but I can't see this making €4500.
I would think about €3000 and that's even a lot for a 15 year old bike.

Totally agree, though I have to give them credit, for the first time in ages a bike described as mint actually is IMO.

I think 3k is on the high side of what its worth too tbf. Nice bike though and it does look clean

Yeah, I'm being generous partly because of the mileage.
I wonder what kind of servicing it got over 15 years with such low mileage?
Lack of use isn't great for a bike either!

Surely that CBR is a 1000 euro bike, whatever about the other.

Nice bike. Worth somewhere between and third and a half of the asking price if you found someone that really really wanted one of them specifically but come on, the F bikes are hardly the stuff of dreams

Has to be a seller from 15 years ago looking for that money.

Wow I pitty the fool that is stupid enough to pay that money.

Theres a ducati cafe racer style bike on dd for 10k at the moment.

They go for fairly high amounts. Expensive, but he could get it. TBH, the irish market is a bit small, I'd have it for sale on MCN too, he'd probably get it.

I found this particular "bike" yesterday on Facebook marketplace

Can it even be classed as a bike ?? He wants €350 for it :rolleyes:

At first I was going to assume the bike was in literal top-notch condition with a bunch of extras, but nope!

Also, the '94 Honda Shadow for €1,900. Bike looks like a total wreck.

Great idea for a thread - yes the screenshot rule is a good idea - I'll put something in the first post..

Assume you bought it then.

I don't know who's buying these overpriced bikes because I have an add on DD for a very reasonable price and most of the interest comes from " sending my email I pay you full price friend ".

It's an SP1 that's basically brand new, I don't know how much bucks they go for but I doubt it's overpriced

Anniversary colours!!!:eek:
1999 was the anniversary.
Sp1 (red one)came out in 2000.
A lad near me had the silver one back in the early 00's.
I wouldn't pay a fraction of that price for one of them.
If I was to pick an SP it would be an SP2 in Castrol colours.
