So within 3 days i've sold both my r6 trackbike and r6 roadbike..

r6 2004 roadbike bought in 2011 for £2450 with 8k on the clock. Sold yesterday with 16k on the clock for £2700
r6 2004 track bike bought in 2008 for £2600 many many trackdays later sold for £2750

I know i'm amazingly talented when it comes to buying / selling but even so have used prices gone up in the past few years??

in other news an empty garage makes me sad..

I know, used bikes are really holding their value.

Look at the 2005 ZX6R C1H, you could get them for £5000 on 0% finance in 2006, now they are worth £3000 secondhand!!  That's awesome value!

Hold on lads....... I'm about to buy a bike....... prices always inflate when I'm in the market.

Get them sold while you can because as soon as I've bought one, the market will shit itself again.

Every bike I ever want is as rare as rocking horse shit while I'm looking..... as soon as I buy one, you can't give the c*nts away.

prices will be dropping very soon as the weather gets worse

Depends what your after. Try getting some sort of classic and the weather has no effect. I've been looking for a C90 or alike, and even shit non running barn finds with no V5 start at £300 ffs.

I actually did nearly piss myself laughing. Must be age!
:rofl:

M6rk it may have something to do with the prices of new bikes being fucking ridiculous now, pushes up the price of second hand? Or maybe it's got something to do with the time of year, you know, price high because of summer.......... :evil:

It's because it's summer...drops in the winter.
