Hi All

I fought i would come along and have a nosey as i am looking to change my bike

I'm currently looking at getting the bmw in the next couple of months and ditching the blade so would like some advice if possible.

How are bmw with px do they offer silly money for your old bike or a decent price?

What is bmw finance like to get im with experian and my file looks all good well to me but the way the world is going with money problems you never no

Would you put the bike back to standard or leave mods on when doing a part x but i feel the mods are decent what i have done and not tackie ones

would really apreciate the advice

Thanks

hello and welcome G

Bob called it right mate, especially the add on's bit, they tried to tell me the mods devalued it, so i replied with it's a good job i have all the original parts then, and used it to negotiate another 5oo and e bayed the parts

do you go to willy woods @ market rasen much

Hi and welcome, I traded a 59 abs blade for my s1k i got £9000 for it and they did not want any mods on it so made another £600 on ebay. no haggle to get that price either.
I got the bike when they were offering the 0% offer, don't know what the finance is now.

I know that when then sold my blade they got £9500 for it although they put a set of tyres on it.

It may be worth trying another dealer, i went to Rainbow in Rotherham.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Good luck on getting a good trade in price but it's a good time to haggle

Enjoy the site cheers Rich

Welcome to the site buddy, I got a fair trade in price on my blade and the dealers are not really interested in the mods for the part ex so as others have said put back to standard and then sell the bits on ebay for a bit extra cash.
Cheers.

No it's limited to 9k
You just wait till you can get past 10 ;D
Just ride it as normal as would any other bike.
600 miles that's 2 weekends or 1 long weekend
