Is now a bad time to sell a bike?
Just wondering what you opinions are.. Should I try and sell now, or wait for the start of next season as bikes tend to sell better in the summer? I don't really want to chuck £30 - £40 into an Ad on Autotrader, MCN etc. for nothing.
Dammit.. want more power and a newer bike
Been debating it all summer (problem is I like the little kwak too much )
(It's a '93 L3 model with about 25-26k miles on the clock)

To be honest with you mate the ZXR400 is a pain in the butt to sell anytime of the year. Don't try and sell on ebay, cus i don't think i've seen one sell for a decent price. I tried selling mine last year in biketrader and i only got 1 person ring up and they did'nt show up, i even had it in at a very competative price. Best bet is P/X might lose a bit of cash but at least your guaranteed to get rid.

Dammit.. thought you might say something like that...
Problem is a ZX6R from a dealer is going to cost me more too, so with the loss on the 400 and the extra on the 6R, could start getting expensive
Was hoping to get £1700 - £1800 for it and pay around £4k for the new ('04) one (unless I went for an '05 then I'd pay slightly more)
Maybe I should just put a Nitrous kit on the 400

fookin dealers, i'd been e-mailing one allday yesterday about selling my bike to them and they seemed quite keen on having it for £1850 but as per the nobs havn't rang me up like they were going to. Seems they were'nt that interested. And seeing as they've got one ZXR400 in their showroom a year newer but with more miles on it for £2600 they could of made a tidy profit on mine.
