2001 CBR 929 RR question

[MReric]

Hey, I found a nice 2001 cbr929rr w 22k miles for 2500 bucks. Looks really nice, but Its gonna need a battery, chain and fork seals most likely. It also has some scratches on the left side. I know these 929s are suppose to be pretty solid bikes. It just sounds lke it needs some tlc. Is this bike worth $2500 you think? If anyone can help me that would be great.

Thanks,
Eric

I noticed this thread has been sitting unanswered for a while, so despite the Steelers game on, I'll try to provide a little direction.

Now, KBB offers used motorcycle pricing, but you can only get either trade-in or retail. Choosing retail, resulted in $4300 meaning if you bought that from a dealer that's what you would expect them to price it at.

NADA used motorcycle pricing isn't as generous. Low retail is saying $2400 and Average retail showing $3100.

That said, if you can do the work yourself, you probably would want to make an offer lower than $2500 because the parts will not be cheap. Also, you'd want to make sure it runs even if it means jumping the bike to make sure there aren't any hidden motor problems.

Hondas (bikes, cars, etc) are reliable, but it all is dependent upon people taking care of the vehicle and maintaining it properly. Good luck in your search! Keep us posted!
