The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

What do y'all think of this? 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 400 with 4,500 km for $5,500 safetied and delivered.

Never dropped, no scratches, no dings. One maybe scuff on the paint from rubbing against something.

I think this was a $7,100 MSRP, plus dealer fees and taxes, so maybe about $9,000-$9,500 OTD five years and 4k km ago. The rest seem $6K+.

Reasonably priced or still off the mark?

6k for an entry level bike is kinda crazy. Especially when you can get a z650 for the same price or probably an older ninja 650 for less. Hell I'm even seeing newer Z400s for less.

If you're dead set on getting a bike with fairings, expect to pay an unnecessary premium for no reason at all. All for a bike you'll likely sell within 2 years for much less than you bought it for

TY for the feedback, I don't think you're wrong to be honest... It blew my mind seeing how low the resale value was on the Z400 naked, vs the Ninja 400 with plastic. Same year, same miles, two totally different prices for what is (some plastic aside) the same bike. It's like that across FB and kijiji.

And I get it... when a lot of these guys dream of owning a motorcycle one day, for a lot of them, it's wrapped in plastic. It's a passion thing, not a logic one. The heart wants...

For those of us who have been around the block, the 650 is probably $5 more to insure than the 400 is... but to the guys who are just getting started, the insurance jump may be huge, or the confidence for the 650 might not be there yet. Dunno.

Allegedly 4 people are going to see it today... But that's facebook, so I think that means 1 person is going to see it today lol

Sold in under 24 hours so I guess it wasn't that bad after all.
 
There’s a buyer for everything, hell you can put a bucket of dirt on the internet and sell it cause someone will need that bucket of dirt

Such a beautiful colour design. That one's obviously crashed but it looks to be repaired decently.

MP, You should have this in your garage. Previous owner was a meticulous little guy with short legs. Bike is immaculate. Price is negotiable; seller is motivated.

Beauty bike, but touring on a British bike with limited to no dealer support on the open road scares me a little. Finding someone to diagnose a bike with notoriously troublesome wiring is one thing; waiting in North Battleford for a new gear sensor or fly-by-wire throttle is another.
