SH300 whats it worth?

[Taipan]

Hi All
Just trying to work some figures out for another possible bike purchase. If i chucked my 08 reg SH300 on ebay what do you reckon it would make? Its done 43k. Has a years mot and loads of tax. Starts and rides fine although I'm sure i can hear a bearing singing away somewhere? It doesn't over heat or burn oil or smoke or anything like that. Just had new pads back and front.It has the Honda top box and Givi airflow. But as its done 43k the bike has some marks. The top of the fork legs are typically corroded as are the wheels in places. Trim on the exhaust rattles and one of the securing screws has snapped off. Bound to be a few marks here and there too. Tyres are nearer the end of their life than the beginning. Cant think of anything else to crab it with. So what do your reckon it would make worse ways?
Many thanks.

Its gotta be £1250 at least, maybe more if you scrub it up well.

Anything over £1k would be good news. I need to see a grand minimum so that gives me a bit of hope. It doesnt look too bad at all until you start looking round it closely. Standard wheel and fork corrosion so no real surprise there. Could maybe paint the fork legs and put some black heat spray on the exhaust prior to selling it I suppose. Considering the mileage its stood up very well.

This is the nearest age/mileage to yours in the 'sold' listings on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-SH300-A ... 7675.l2557" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That was on Feb 1st though so with spring in the air, you may just get your grand. Fingers crossed.

Thanks. I'm after a NC700X DCT but I really value the SH300. Wondering whether to let it go or if its going to be less than a grand should I keep it as back up bike?

I would give Dobles a call, they do good deals and give high trade ins.

First offer as it is with the MOT expiring on the 24th of this month was.... drum roll....£800!

p/x price that isn't bad to be honest.

No, that was a mate!

They give you £800 for a mate, I'm going down there, any mates want to come. If I get enough, I could walk away with a new bike.
