2012 CBR1000RR (ABS) Alex Lowes Replica Selling as moving away from super sports, tempted to go down Ducati Diavel route! Excellent condition 29k New MOT (26/3/2019) FSH Arrow GP2 Exhaust SOLD
Good price. I wonder why there's no interest? Perhaps the paint scheme is not to others' liking. I am sure a 5,000 pound Repsol or tri-colour would have been snapped up.
Spoke with the dealer who bought my RR7 from me. He said he coyld have sold it 4 times and even wondered if he had sold it too cheap. However whilst he said the 06/07s sold quickly the 08+ models seemed to hang around a long time. No idea why though. Good luck to OP hope it sells soon, I liked that colour scheme.
Are you pricing that compared with the 2012 models mate? As it looks like the last of the 2011 models with a custom paint job from the dealer?
I was confused also, because the headline advertisement says '2012'. Nevertheless, as I've previously commented, it is a very good price, but alas, (and with the greatest respect) not one of the most sought after Blades. At £4600, I think that would run very close to a dealer's p/x price, given that many 2011s are selling for the 6990 to 7300 mark. I'm sure a Ducati dealer would offer a reasonable price.
I was toying (very briefly) of putting mine completely back to standard, selling the fancy bits and trading it in for a second hand HP4. The dealer offered 5k trade in for my 2011 repsol.
Whilst it might seem a kick in the guts, that's not a bad price for a dealer. We do expect to sacrifice a lot for the simplicity of a dealer 'trade' at the expense of frigging around with eBay, wanna be 'test riders' and the like. I fully agree with selling the good bits separately because no dealer will ever recompense us for the extras, BUT they will promote the heck out of them to the potential buyer!! I will be right at the coal face sometime next year because it will be my 2011 that will be p/x for the next Honda flagship!!
I didn’t think it was too bad as I paid £5k for it with the fancy bits. Could prob get 3-4k for all the parts secondhand. Would just need to source some standard headers (missed some on eBay for £20 ) and a standard rear shock. Got all the other bits. Their HP4 was a bit overpriced though and I like the Blade . Plus I’m a hoarder and don’t like selling bikes.
