Selling the 1400 - advice/opinions appreciated...

[MartinB]

Hi all,
I've decided to sell my GSX1400, I bought it new in Nov '07 and to be honest it's hardly been used!!



Mileage is only 1,885 miles!!!



Where would be the best place to advertise her?
Also trying to put a price on her has been difficult, not seen any others with this low mileage
What do you think??
Would it be best to take the lugguage off??
I am open to your advice/opinions

MCN/Autotrader bikes/Pistonheads, and yes take the luggage off, looks gash with it on.

She looks minted Martin. As a matter of interest - what after market exhaust is fitted?

Good luck with the sale - wish I had some spare dosh, a real man's (no offence to the lovely ladies) muscle bike. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Suzuki GSX1400 - the only Japanese bike I actually like!!! I'd buy it if I had the money. 8-)

You'll get more money selling the luggage seperatly, but the luggage will be a selling point meaning the bike will sell quicker.

What I do is take the luggage off and offer it as part of the deal if the nextb guy wants it.

Great Bike BTW. Wish I had the money.

Hi all, thanks for your comments.
The exhaust came with the bike, Yoshi dual oval; Suzuki gave them away with all the Final Edition 14's.
It was a shame that Suzuki never offered an option of a fairing/screen as per the Bandit range. This bike is very capable of covering long distances, it is so effortless with loads of torque.
I did try mcn-mart, but got inundated with calls from dealers offering stupidly low prices!!

Take your luggage and rack off.. Ebay.. As a set they will fetch £300+

Bike wise. Just use Autotrader if your going to advertise it.
Autotrader = Max return generally.


If you would like i could look at sale or return from the shop? Again should get you a max return.


Give me a PM if you want to go down that route.

Looks a great bike.I have been looking around and I have noticed alot of bikes on Ebay just not selling. Wrong time of year and the recession is just begining to hit some people. Might be an idea to put it away, or just keep trying without spending too much on advertising, everytime you list it, it will cost you. I have just bought an SV1000s so no doe here. Good Luck!

Gumtree is free to advertise.

I have sold a few bikes and cars on ebay. You can do it for just £8 as long as you are selling at a competitive price.

Put it on with a well written advert - write it on a MS word page first - save it then when you do listing - copy and paste. Use 12 good photos.

You are selling a bike - work on the advert to make it look good.

Have seen ads with blurry photos and two lines of writing..

Put your phone number on the advert with the price you want and invite people to come and view it and talk about it.

I sell most bikes within a few days then you withdraw the advert so no final end fees.

Gotta be worth a punt for £8 to see how much interest their is
