Re: Part exchange value
When I was looking a little while back got offered 2 grand more from honda than bmw but that was against a goldwing so mark up on new bike also plays a big part in valuation of old. Harley and ktm are desperate to sell at moment.

Re: Part exchange value
The thing is that the dealer wouldnt give me a part ex value because they simply couldn't be arsed. They told me to use webuyanybike as they just wanted a straightforward cash deal. I only got the webuy people to give me a value out of interest but I knew they'd try to shaft me.Doctor T wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2025 1:21 pm £2000 for a 2019 bike is a joke. When I test rode a Harley Street glide, the mileage didn't matter. Mine is 07 with scratches and bumps and they offered me £3500. This is a lot more than I paid for her. Oh she has done around 635000 miles on the clock.
The HD dealer exspected higher mileage due to being a touring model.

Re: Part exchange value
Main dealers don't want to be assed around buying bikes that they're selling or have a connection with. Every dealer that I got a test ride from except HD wouldn't even give me a price on my bike. Then you wonder why so many are shutting down.

Re: Part exchange value
If they're not prepared to offer fair money for a trade in it kinda removes one of the few reasons to pay inflated main dealer prices for a secondhand bike.

Re: Part exchange value
I traded in my 2012 RT with 47k miles last year and got £4850 for it against a one-owner, 2013 RT with 2856 miles on it from same BMW dealer and they even fitted 2 new shoes of my choice so can't complain

Re: Part exchange value
My apologies, tyres on bikes (maybe cars also) can be referred to as shoes up here. I'm sure there are plenty of other 'local' references for bits & pieces on our beloved steeds up and down the country, took me a while to figure out what blinkers were. Having horses around here I thought it was something to keep the bugs off my helmet and bugger all to do with letting other motorists know I intended to turn left / right.......

@MikeS Have you tried any other stealers to see what PX they would offer you on a bike the same value as the NT1000.

Re: Part exchange value
I took a test ride on a F900XR at Warwick BMW and they said that they'd give me a part ex value if i wanted to order the 2025 model. Unfortunately it just felt too small so i didnt take it any further. Also the seat was so uncomfortable I was glad to get off it after an hour. They do a comfort seat for 400 quid but it seems like a bit of a rip off.
