Need your thoughts on selling GZ250

FLAJIM · 08-18-2013, 10:08 AM

Looking for advice on selling my bike. I bought about a year and a half ago for the wife. She never rode it. It's a 2009 one owner with less than 200 miles, truly mint condition. I add the Suzuki engine guard, a tach, windshield and have both the 15T and 16T sprockets. All paperwork and complete factory tool kit. I added a battery tender which has been on since day one. Problem is I bought it from a dealership and paid about 4500 out the door.... too much I know.

Now I am looking to sell the bike. I know I will take a hit but what is the price I should be asking ?? What is the best way to sell it, local adds, craigs list or ebay ???

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice

I just bought my bike this week, it is a 2008 with 250 miles on it. I am located in Utah, probably a bit lower in price, but I paid $1700, I saw others listed at $1300 (which I missed) and $2100 here.

Good Luck with your new bike, Prayers for many safe miles ahead

Be sure no one test rides the bike without putting the full agreed price in your hand. Must be cash only. Even a certified cheque can be a scam. I had a stack of pretty C notes for my Vstrom.
