Depends how fa$t you want to sell it.

Craigslist has worked wonders for me.

true that....

I have one guy locally who will come see the bike tomorrow...hopefully I can get close to asking price for it. I definately want to get this bike outta here so that I can have more storage space in my garage.



As you can see I have very little space left behind my car for storage....

Now this is only a suggestion, but...

perhaps make a counter-offer that's a little higher than what you would sell it for...
see if he will come back with a counter-offer of his own and see if you can agree on a price.

that's how the game is played.

It's prime time for bikes and he wants to RIDE!! Your bike is price fairly. Negotiate!

Well, a little update here: I did some research, went on ebay and cycletrader.com and found out that 2005 GSXR600's were going for $6900-$7200 , all bone stock with like 7-9000 miles on the clock.

Well, this made me stop and think that if I sell my bike now for $6000 inlcuding all my cosmetic mods, and with all the free stuff I'm throwing in, I'd be shortchanging myself....big time...

A buddy told me try to sell the bike as close to stock as possible, and sell everything else separately i.e.- Jacket, cover, windshield, flushmounts etc etc.

I have until tomorrow morning to give this prospective buyer an answer. so when I do call him I will let him know that I want to stick to the $7000 asking price (take it or leave it)... and let him decide from there.

Yes its a Sears Craftsman 26 gallon air compressor.... it is very useful....

I use it to keep all the car tires properly inflated, use it to do "boost leak" tests on my EVO, use it along with the air impact tools when I'm working on the car, and use it to blow dry my EVO after I wash it...

Its definately a good investment for the DIY'er....

Thats true, I cant play the game well without doing my homework....

I guess its a good thing I didnt jump on his "lowball" offer without thinking it through, looking online at prices similar bikes are selling for and speaking to some people...
