Is there a web (free) bike valuation service anyone would recommend for getting an accurate price for a bike. I've been given the go ahead to get a new bike if I would like to !!! :clap:

Good Lord Mr Wolf ... have you drugged her ?? :grin: :grin:   That is great news .......
I don't know of any sites but Auto Trader is always a good place to gauge the REAL worth of your bike ... as opposed, sadly, to what you and I think it's worth .. and in this day and age that will be a considerable difference ! 
One imagines of course you shall get a GREEN one !  :rolleyes:

nice one Mr wolf! just check ebay and www.autotrader.co.uk/bikes to give you a fair idea what to expect in theses trying times :sad: are you buying new, if so may be just as well to trade in. remember they want to sell as well :smiley: are we going to see you on a 2010,2011 or even a 2012 model at the cotswolds meet.
getting on now...  but not as old as Rog or Geoff

Rusty

I feel he will go for the 2012 model ............ :innocent:

Show her what a real man you are, turn the offer of the new bike down and ask if she would like a new kitchen instead. :whistling:

It wont be a brand spanker  :cry:  but we all know there are many bargains to be had at the moment. Theres a 10 and 11 plate magnesium one on Auto Trader & MCN Classifieds at the moment, £8.999, thats a fair price. Going to call them both tomorrow. Pity Keiths not just starting to advertise his bike now, it would be perfect for me. On the other hand, a 59 plate, silver, low mileage one would suit me just fine too.

I'll see what my local Kwak dealer thinks mines worth tomorrow. Ever the optimist I'd like £6000 for it but that might be wishfull thinking in these hard times.

Rusty

Whatever .... that is good news that you are on the road to a new bike, and as you say, it is a very good time to buy ... even in these hard times you will, I am sure come to an agreement with the seller and ride away with a big smile on your face  :cool:

O.C.

Good luck with the hunt for a 'new' un.....

The classifieds would be a good place to guage current prices.....but don't overlook dealer stock as they too may have some good bargains in the showroom


It needs to be
GREEN...OK [/b]

Get a new green Grand Touring and you get inner bags for free.  :oops:
The later you brake the longer you go fast.

O.C.

there is a"Managers Special" deal available on a 2012 model with 1 mile on the clock here....its a very cheap deal and could be worth a call Steve...I don't think the bike is on their website, but is on Autotrader
