i should put this on craigslist, but i figured here will do just fine. Just want to finally get it off my chest. So here's the deal; and please people, feel free to chime in. I am always looking at motorcycles for sale and seeing them priced at or over retail. Like the guy on here with an 97 gsxr 750 for $5500....dude what the fuck are you smoking.. you can buy a BRAND NEW 750 w/ 0 miles for $9500. so you think in over then years your bike only depreciated 3g's??? Get real. Or like the guy with the 06 busa for $10k.....dude you can get an 08 for less than that; what the fuck are you smoking? Or the guy with the 01 f4i for $5,600...Dude, your bike is only worth about $3-3,500. What part of your ass did you pull $5,500 from? And here's another thing...where do people figure they can still get top dollar for a bike with damage? Last time I checked you can't just paint a fairing and resticker it back to factory; you have to buy a whole new fairing which is generally $500. I love how people say there bike was laid down at 10mph and has no noticeable damage but when you go look at it, the side fairings are rashed, the tail is rashed, bar ends is rashed, levers are rashed, pegs are rashed, pipe is rashed, etc... you get my point. Yet the seller still wants close to retail.

I don't mean to go on and on, but this aggravates the living piss out of me. Not only on motorcycles, but cars too. I honestly just don't know where people pull this shit from. I can understand if they want retail for an absolutely flawless piece that has been serviced regularly and is up to date but for those with a million miles, and not perfect, I just don't see where they get it. Nobody ever said not to try to get a fair price, but some people are just flat out, out of the ballpark.
