To start, I figure I want to say I am NOT selling my fz6 (yet at least). But I have been dreaming of the Fz1 for a long while now. I am not prepared financially to en devour on this quest yet, however, I would like to know what to expect as far as how much I can get for my bike.
So, a few questions here. Blue book value (and it doesn't seem very specific to age, mileage, and condition) for the 08 fz6 is listed at 3,500$ USD. Is this a fair price to expect? Also, my bike has 25,000 miles on it, never laid down, always serviced.
I was also wondering if it would be more cost efficient to take some of my mods off (mainly swap my scorpion cans for the stock) and sell the mods seperately? Or would I expect to make more than $3,500 because of the mods I've done. Should I part out my mods after replacing them back to stock? Or keep them on?
Also, blue book valued the Fz1 at around 4,100$ (only 600$ more than the value of the Fz6!) I have been seeing fz1's on craigslist and at the local shop for between 3 and 5,000$ (USD) - which seems like a fair price.
So my conclusion is that if I sold my fz6 for a used fz1, I shouldn't have to thrown down more than 1 - 1,500$ - which is very reasonable.
I am trying to estimate how much this will cost me for the upgrade, so I can set a goal for myself and make my dream come true - in a reasonable amount of time.
Any other information or aspects I have not thought of would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
