Advice on selling the Speedmaster

[Chris Peltz]

I listed my 2012 Speedmaster (22K miles) for $4500, but was willing to take $4000. See marketplace post - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1191858581555794/

Someone local test rode the bike today and has offered me $3750 cash. A number of you know my bike so wanted to get your advice. Should I let it go for that price or stay firm at at no less than $4000? 

In the end, I will be replacing it with a newer Speedmaster (either the 2018 that I will test drive tomorrow or a new 2022) , but it is isn't super urgent I sell it right away. But I would like to sell in the next month or so. 

What do you guys think?

$3750 is a fair but "cheeky" offer,try for $3900-$3950

I put my Ninja up for sale in January and got nothing but scammers.  Took it down and tried again this month, sold it PDQ for $200 less than asking.  If you're not in a hurry, sit on it for a bit and try again.

Chris, have you thought about selling it through Motorado?  Quite a few of us have sold and bought bikes there.

I've owned and sold three Speedmasters over the years. They always sold pretty fast. I try to price them as competitively as possible based on what buyers will see if they scope out the used market. Looks like your's is priced appropriately (low $4Ks) given the miles. I'm not sure buyers care much about the accessories on these, except maybe upgraded (read louder) pipes. Hard to say if you should take the offer since that's a personal thing. You might consider relisting it at $3950 and call it a firm price, if you have the time and if the extra $200 makes a difference. Spring is in the air and buyers are sprouting. Also, I think I saw your bike on cycletrader and it shows the mileage as 32K rather than 22K.  Might want to correct that if it's yours.

PS. I recently was able to ride a "newer" Speedmaster and it's very cool and very different (all in good ways) from the ones I had.

Thanks all for the help. I got him up to $3900 and the extra hundred or two won't really make a difference to me. Should be sold today along with the purchase of the new Speedmaster!

Congrats on selling.  I've had a Speedmaster and 2 Bonnies.  The Bonnie (T100 & T120) is a far superior bike in my humble opinion.  Go ride one.

I have ridden both and they are two tall for my hobbit legs. I test rode both the 2018 and 2022 Speedmaster today and they feel entirely different than the old ones (kind of Bonneville like). 

The old Speedmaster was just sold and picked up about ten minutes ago. And I already put down a deposit on this one. I will be heading to C Springs to pick it up.

Yeah, I'm familiar with  the Vertical Challenge problem.  Congrats on the sale and impending new bike.
