Hello and good evening ALL, how are you?
I am currently riding a 2002 R1150RT and therefore have NO experience with any K Bike.
However, an older K has always been a dream of mine and I came accross a 1987 K100RS with 16,577 ORIGINAL miles on it.
In my opinion, the bike needs the following:
- 2 new tires.
- Tune Up. (Bike "sputters" at lower RPM's, could also be bad/old gas in the tank?)
- Left Turn Signal did not work.
Asking price for the Bike is $3,900.00, I offered $2,800.00 based on what the bike needs, also needs a little cosmetical TLC.
I Blue Booked it on Kelley Blue Book:
- SUGGESTED RETAIL VALUE: $3,245.00
- TRADE-IN VALUE (Good Condition): $2,225.00
In order to get a fair Private Party Value, I usually add both numbers and divide them by 2, this comes up to a total of $2,735.00.
So, I think my offer of 2,800.00 is good, but can not be sure.
The owner "was going to think about it", he of course uses the LOW Mileage as his bargaining chip.
Below, please find a picture of the K100RS, I will add a couple more shortly thereafter.
-----> I would really like to know what you K-Bike Veterans think this bike should be worth? I like it, but do not want to spend too much money on it as I am on a budget.
THANKS in advance.
