Does anybody know what the market is like right now? Kelly says $4,065 (http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/ke.kb.mr?kbb.TX;531175;TX085&75070;rc;r&&2001;Suzuki;GSF1200S%20Bandit;441157;13900;w/Fairing;;;&&&&&) for a retail value on an '01, but that wouldn't include any accessories. Could one actually anticipate getting that? Or are Bandit sellers still getting lowballed?

Why are you looking to sell one?
I will probably be ready to purchase one in about a month or so for around that price. I think I you guys have convinced me to get a b12 if I can find one but first I do need to get a couple of liablity insurance quotes.
-
That is the price I paid for my 01 1½ year ago, but I thought I got a good deal, he wanted more but $100's speak very loudly. (He was young with wife and small child) Funny thing at least in NE Okla. (Muskogee) I work at a big factory (1800 people) And what I have seen is the older riders ride the crap out of there bikes and the young guys are selling.
The opposite is true of what I though would have with the gas prices, in a way. I have seen some are selling because wife said " WE CANT GET YOU AND ME AND OUR DAUTHER ON THAT DAMN THING"!! So they are selling. So the market is not growing as I thought. But then again I thought the PET ROCK was STUPID!

01 Bandit 1 year NE Okla (49 years old and have not been caught for doing stupid crap in 10 years) :lol:
Bodily Injury Liability $25,000/$50,000 $41.00
Property Damage Liability $25,000 $12.00
Policy Uninsured Motorist $25,000/$50,000 $97.00
For 1 year
The $97.00 is a one time deal for all, so I pay $269.00 a year for 3 bikes

Well the thing I keep hearing is that it is a liter bike and I am 22 but I think most of these people expect me to go for the full insurance. I paid $125 for liablity for a year now on my b4 and I couldn't imagine it getting more than $500 for a liter bike but who knows.
-
My "almost litre" bike costs less to insure than a comparable 600.
It really depends on the bike. I suspect that a lot of the bigger bikes are not yet on the "radar" in regards to crashes.
It does tend to be ( here at least) a slightly different demographic riding the big bikes.
You might luck out too,.. they might classify the b12 as a "standard" not a sport bike.

:shock: Sell my baby (http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/DesolationAngels/DSCF0201.jpg)?! :shock:
Not for $4,000! :lol:
Really, just curious. A couple of years ago you could pick up an '01 for $3,000 and less! Seemed like folks weren't wanting them much based on what I was seeing on Craig's List and eBay.
But that was before the gas prices went insane.
Anyway, I bought an '06 Miata a couple of weeks ago and it has made me think about whether I'll ride the Bandit that much anymore. The MX-5 is pretty darn fun! :motorsmile:

In Austin, TX the market seems to be very soft on Bandits, all the squids want sport bikes (most of which are overpriced) and you have to lowball the "standards" to market them.

Shows how ignorant buyers are to be bypassing the Bandits. :roll:

For insurance purposes my 12 is considered a standard bike. I pay 180 a year for liability and I just turned 25. I think they still have me listed as 24 on the policy because my auto rate is connected to it and the policy isn't up till oct I think. I figure I am going to try and sell mine for $3k sometime in the near future round here and get it pretty easy. After that I will look for a wrecked one and do it up again.
-
I watch craigslist in the bay area all the time.
Bandits do not have a good re-sale value; they're posted for weeks (months) and continually go down down down.
For people who can appreciate the blandit, they're getting a helluva deal.

I don't buy vehicles for resale. I buy them because I want them and plan on keeping them.

That's how I end up with 10 year old cars! :grin:

"For people who can appreciate the blandit, there getting a helluva deal." curiousmike
That's the truth, and with a few tweaks the Blandit can be a real Wolf in Sheep's clothing. Like a DW stage II, ignition advancer, D&D etc, etc, etc.
Some fool along side of me at a light in a Hemi Dodge Charger (?Dodge Codger?) punched it at a light a couple of weeks ago, heh, heh, heh -- I had to chuckle as he melted in my rearview mirror. Never even got the wheel off the ground. My wife reminded me to act like an adult?

Is that possible when boys are playing with their toys?

Bodily Injury Liability $25,000/$50,000 $41.00
Property Damage Liability $25,000 $12.00
DAMN! Here we -have- to insure for ½ million liability. None of this $25K stuff. I wanna know,.. what do you have to do with a bike to cause a HALF million $$$ of damage with one. I mean,.. I can maybe see if you were playing pinball on a mercedes lot,... but other than that....

Here in New Zealand the B12 holds its price very well. Going through the latest copy of a national motorcycle listings mag the B12 is as popular as it always was.
Examples: 1999 B12 37,000kms $8,000
2001 B12 18,750kms $9,995
2000 B12s 22,000kms $11,500
and the list goes on. All of these bikes had good service records and various bling to sweeten the deal. These were all private sales with dealers selling similar items for around $1,000 to $1,500 more.

That's interesting. I guess our obsession with cruisers kills the market here.

Maybe if you hit a McLaren F1... (http://www.mclarenautomotive.com/cars/index.htm) IIRC, they run over $1 million, so you know parts would be spendy.

Lol! Possibly,.. but I don't think I've ever seen one here, I don't think they're native. :wink: Inhospitable environment and all. Potholes, winter, straight roads, radar capital of North America. And frigging speedbumps tall enough that I scraped the exhaust on the 919 the other day. I was not a happy stormi.
I'd have to actually seek one out. Of course that could also result in target fixation....
I sure like that color though. And I don't generally like red cars.
