i have been restoring a honda vtr250 over the past few months and now the engine has started im trying to figure out a price to sell at!! its a 1999 wit 7800miles on the clock!! condition is not the best as it was a cheap restoration!! As i recieved the bike for free as it wasnt starting anything will be a profit but as im only 16 i would like the biggest profit!! any ideas on asking price??? will put pics up asap!!!

£50 inc postage here!

thats a bit too cheap i was thinking more around the €500-€1000 line if i can manage it!!

well how much you spent on it? you gotta work that out first then mark it up according to that, if its under the book price you made a profit if its more than the book price your not gonna make much of a profit if any. What about the mot has it got any coz you might have to mot it to sell it at a market price. Best thing to do is check out the price of these bikes on bike trader.

right what if i put it this way

Bike cost=€0

Bits and bobs=€100

Total=€100

i kid you not the bike cost around 100euro to bring back from the dead. its not top class restoration but for a teenager i reckon i did ok!!

 

Pics just being put on photobucket now

Pictures do not do the final result justice!!

how much did u spend on it mate?

around €100 but not much of it can be seen in pics as it was all things like new fuses all round, new battery, new sparks, and the rest was just my own graft like taken off the fuel lines cleanin dem out taking off tank and emptying it and other things that took time and effort but not money!!!

put in the local paper at highest book price ono

planning on putting it on donedeal.ie and see how it does. just hopping it will be gone before december 7th when i have to go visit family in newcastle otherwise it wont be sold for xmas. that way have money to buy present for xmas for me parents!!!

good luck!

do they do monopoly money in euro's now then

dont think they do and now i dont take monopoly money but some idiot out there is bount to buy it!!! its a good bike!! well i like it anyway

They're a nice little bike and they fall ino the (33bhp and power to weight) limit for the UK category A1 licence which is quite a bonus and very unusual.

 

They're a Japanese import which puts some people off.

 

I'd get some decent pics and put it on eBay.

 

Here's an (older) one for sale over here asking £895.

Edit - you could advertise it on Visordown for free - but things rarely sell on there.
