NOW SOLD A quick and dirty advert for my fireblade. More to come when i’m back but looking to sell quickly and have priced it so it should fly. 2013, black, non abs, 9.7k Miles, fully serviced around 300 miles ago as well as new rear tyre and new battery. I’ve had 4 08+ Blades so know what they should go like and how they should run. This one is perfect in that respect. Like to finish on a high point lol... it had a walking speed drop on the right side that put a small inch long scratch on the clutch case and scratched the right fairing. I have a replacement fairing that will go on, GB racing covers or a second hand clutch cover. Just being totally transparent. If you want it and can take it quickly i’d sell at £5950. I’m sure you’ll know that’s cheap for a 13 plate blade with 9k miles. Will upload some photos ASAP, but do drop me a message if interested. I’m brighton on south coast but would travel to facilitate a deal. Cheers for looking.
Ok, this isn’t for sale anywhere else and before I start advertising in the usual places is there any interest here at £5795? Be quick if you want it though as I may just trade it out.
Bump for this at £5.6k for a black non-abs 2013 blade that runs perfectly, has new rear tyre, and needs nothing. Summer is here!
Still here and hasn’t left the garage. Would let it go for £5.5k for an easy sale. Will MoT it next week.
Hi, i’m a really unmotivated seller but this really needs to go. Anyone interested in a 9.9k mile blade, just mot’d, service and new tyre 400 miles ago, non-abs, and running great. £5500 isnt a lot of money for this.
Obviously this time of year is bad every year but I think the market is dead at the moment. There are some unbelievably good bikes about at decent prices and they just aren't selling.
I think you’re right. I could use the £5k for my building work but I don’t need to be silly. If it sits in the garage until spring it’s not the end of the world. But, if anyone wants a cheap upgrade to a later spec it’s here. If 08 bikes are say £4K, I can’t believe it’s not a good call to get a bike 5 years newer for just £1400 but hey. Now it’s at this level I may be better just trading it out.
Even getting a trade in value now will be insulting you really are better off keeping it stored until Spring in my opinion.
Got 5k as. Trade in on my 8k mile Daytona 675 against the MT10 a year ago. Doubt you’d get more. cracking bike for the price though. Good luck.
To those that know more than me please.....I’m not in the game of bike breaking (far from it) but as i’ve had a couple of beers and i’m bored on a train, what about these numbers? Anything i’m wildly out on here, because if not I think they’re low enough to sell quickly but good enough to get me exactly £5.4k over time. Not in a rush and if I had bits left over they could sit in the loft, as long as the big stuff had buyers. 2013 9k mike Engine and gearbox 1500 Frame and v5 850 Wheels and good tyres 650 All 12+ fairings, AirTunes, infills 500 Front Forks and rear suspension 350 Tank, Ecu, hiss, lockset, keys 250 3 Discs callipers hoses 200 Dash 250 Bars / levers / switches 150 All looms 100 Swingarm, axles etc 100 Headlight 75 Subframe 60 Undertray, battery and hugger 50 Rearsets and pegs 50 Full exhaust 50 Mirrors and indicators 50 Seats 40
I think your prices are in the most part too cheap so I think you’d do ok. for example Forks must surely be worth £400 and rear shock nearer £200
Yeah, I was hoping you’d say that as was just thinking how low would I need to be to get the £5.5 or so out of it. Let’s see what others think but it could be a route to a sale with a minimal risk and I’d quite enjoy a bit of spannering, get me away from the Tv.
