Should I sell bike with all aftermarket bits or return to standard?

Your bike will sell quicker if you leave the extras on and you will get a little more (if selling privately) for it, but i think you will make more if you return the bike to standard and sell the extras separately

 

There are many, many buyers that look for absolutely factory standard bikes, in the hope they haven't been raced or thrashed. It doesn't matter whether their fears are real or not - they believe this. So they will buy the std. bike.

2nd thing: you'll get more money overall if you sell the aftermarket bit separately.

 

I'd leave the bit's on the bike. If you're selling privately then most people will customise to some extent(just have a look on here) so a few desirable extras could clinch the deal for some people.

Take the luggage off and sell that separately.

 

Welcome to the forum.
The consensus seems to be that a standard bike sells well. You won't get anything extra for all the goodies fitted but they will always sell on later.

 

Most def, although its a time and effort hassle, return the bike to standard. Whilst a 'trinket' laden bike might appear more attratcive to some and therefore more sellable, this wont be reflected in the lsd returned against a bike in standard trim and the 'bits' being sold seperately (methinks). But hey, what do I know!

 

Personally your modifications to the bike are to personalise it to you.
So I don't see that as a reason to pay more for it.
If it was me I would return it to standard and sell the other bits separately.
Might be worth mentioning it to the buyer that you have those bits to sell, but make it clear they are for sale separately.

 

Always sell uncluttered pure and standard. If I see a bike for sale with plenty of extras on it I think it's been over spannered possibly had wiring hacked into and generally tampered with too much.

 

Does that mean your now leaving the triumph forum?

 

What attracted me to my Thruxton was that it had most of the mods that I was going to do and he had the originals in the package, low mileage and the price was only slightly more than I could get a standard one for, so saved me about a grand. Oh and it was blue!!

 

Always remove the extra's and then sell them seperately. Then you have a little stash of folding to spend on more extra's for the new bike Unless it ain't worth the hassle - like a tail tidy!

 

Agree with most answers here...

Strip back and sell separately if going the dealer route, you won't get any extra for them px, consider leaving em on for private sale. You want any prospective buyer to see he's gettin better VFM with your bike compared to others.
