Pricing on bikes should level off or start to drop to keep in pace with the strength of the Canadian dollar
keep in mind that what you see is the asking price and that is not what the seller always gets fewer dealers around means you get to see the true value of used bikes less and less Bill 203 forced me off my 1000cc bike and has caused me to get a smaller bike 750cc or less |
^^^ dude dropping from a 1000 to a 750 really isnt going to do much your still going to be doin well over 50 on any bike you have, even a 600 will do that without you even realizing it.... so why drop down

As wierd as it sounds motorcycles are like owning any type of sportscar, there a luxury not a nessceity that keeps the prices from depriciatting to much. Espcially in a cold climate where you can only ride a couple months of the year, this keeps the demand relativly low and the pricing high.
Later guys PM me got a couple bikes for sale if anyones interested. |
all i know is i saw a 2007 gsxr 600 selling for 7500 and a 2003 they are still asking 6500.... i dont know but some how that does make alot of sense 1000 depretiation over 5 years... not likely...i think people are asking way to much for used bikes lately..... just my $0.02

first off, GSXR's are Garbage bikes thats why you can walk down the street and buy any 2006 -2007 GSXr 600 for cheaper then a used bike... The price is where the cc is at the higher the CC the more money it costs. Also Gas Mileage on a bike hmmmmm from toronto west to newmarket near Mt Albert ONTARIO it is close to a full tank of gas, why is because the higher speeds travelled... 200+ Kms/hr.
All bikes are expensive not like alot of these tuner civics going for $2,000-$3,000 Bucks. even a 1999 GSXR600 is worth about $4,000 Mint. Depends on the bike for gas mileage really. My old gs500 got around 60MPG and that was not driven lightly. I paid 7K flat for it brand new and sold it 1.5 seasons later fro 5grand with 3500kms on it. not a bad deal. But my cousins gsxr-1000 gets around 36MPG. but considering its a 10sec bike compared to a car that fast. thats pretty damn good! As for the resale value of used bikes...GOTO THE US!!! honestly its retarded i know. people "think" that reselling bikes for the same as what they bought it for is reasonable and its funny b/c people ACTUALLY pay it!!! THATS the problem folks. you can get a brand new R6, cbr600rr, ninja600 or gsxr750 for around 8grand new in the US. here your lucky to find an 07' for less than 9K. |
