now sold thanks

Hi Laurie, putting a value on bikes is difficult enough when you're stood in front of it never mind doing it blind.

Bottom line is that for a private seller the value of your bike is what someone else is willing to pay. Therefore in your shoes I would approach the selling of this machine with an active marketing strategy. Evaluating every day what sort of response you are getting, then adjust price and advert style according.

I have a mate who is an absolute master at this sort of thing, so have a look at his last advert and see what you can learn from that.

Re the price : Assuming the bike is in good condition generally, has nearly new tyres and chain/sprockets and has good service history - all these are positive points. The mileage at 22,000 is a downer as far as value and desirability are concerned. Also bear in mind that you will be a private seller not a bike garage, so has an effect on the perceived value of the bike. Without seeing it I would say your asking price should be somewhere in the region of £3200 if all is good. Then you can drop the price to £3000 if necessary. Remember that if you set your selling price too high, people won't come to look, so there's no possibility of selling it.

Just as an example, four years ago, I bought my 2010 T100 (with extras) 2,000mls on the clock, for £4,400.

Good luck

I would publish photos of the bike not surrounded by rubbish and without what seems to be water all over the seat, also the cylinder head looks like it could do with a good clean, first impressions count, good look.
