    Now if I was part exinng the bike this would not be a issue.

    But I have a very good mate who would be interested in my bike.
    And if I sell it to him I would not be stripping back all the mods.
    He would have it with everything I have. Which includes all of the below and maybe more

    11 plate ABS Blade in very good condition. under 9k on the clock
    Track fairing ready to use and painted. Cost me £650. And extra Titanium bolts etc..
    Ohlins TTX rear shock. I have in great condition but never Fitted. 1k when new
    Original tank cover, and front mud guard. taken off when I bought second had parts so mine could be kept mint.
    Bazzaz All singing TC, quick Shifter. Dyno'ed and adjustable maps on the switch on the handlebars.
    Spare track tyres. x2
    Honda Indoor cover.
    original Exhaust (only done 600 miles)
    Yoshi R77 exhaust fitted to bike. Cost me £650
    GB racing engine covers. tail tidy and original number plate hanger.
    John Mcguiness tall screen, original screen and Honda racing screen

    Possibly More to add

    What would be a good price. Any idea's what to look at

    Personally I'd sell the Ohlins and track fairing to find an extra grand and let matey have the bike for around £6k. My mint 09 went for £5k in px but I reckon I could have gotten the £5500 I was looking for privately if I'd hang on. So I reckon £6-£6200 is realistic. I've seen 12 plates going for £7k hence my thinking.

    Ohlins alone is worth £700-800 probably more if still new

    Bike is probably worth £6500

    Maybe ask for £1200 for all extras ohlins etc

    As above, Sell the Ohlins and fairings separately and make a little bit more money, if possible take off your Yoshi and any other goodies if you have original stuff, Stick it up for 6ish and hopefully you might make 2k on the bits! Worth a go... I know it's a ball ache doing it that way but realistically it's a good way of making some extra dollars ....

    I was thinking 7-7.5K for the lot. My mate wants the bike as a track bike so was going to sell the lot in one go. price dependant of course

    I'd say it was a fair price with all bits.

    Yeah much easier to sell the expensive bits and then part ex the bike :D

    but yes if he is willing to pay the £1000+ for the extra's, then I reckon £7k+ should be about right?

    Been trying to sell one of my older blades 08 ...loads of calls..loads of time wasters...

    2 viewings, 1 guy looking at the bike like he wanted to give an impression he knows the blades - but it was obvious he was thick as a door nail...

    Have you put urs up for sale yet?

    It's a difficult market to sell bikes with additional aftermarket parts, as people associate to the the age of the bike more. I have a similar disposition, spent £££after £££ on the mods, thought it would enhance/attract more interest, NO. Strip back to standardised and sell big priced components sep. Price I would say package wise with all mods £6750. GLWS
