Why are all used 300 class bikes priced out of the ball park, you can get a new one for 4899, or the used one for 300 more...

Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread
- Thread starter killerkeith
- Start date
Many starter bikes for sale are priced at the balance remaining on loan. Sellers either don't know or don't care that the buyer has to pay tax again or that they can walk into a dealer and get something new for less.
I agree that bike is overpriced by at least $1000 and I have seen a few others listed for over 5k, but where can you buy a new 300 for under 5k? I did a quick search and couldn't find any for that price range. Aside from the suzuki (250, though) the Honda and Kawasaki are listed over 5k with the yamaha priced over 6k. Most used ones I see are in the 3k to 4k range.
Kawi's msrp for a 2017 is 4899, theres still a few left at my local kawi dealer. And if I am buying a used bike the taxes and fees the seller paid for the bike from a dealer in my opinion don't count towards the resale value
Ahh, didn't realize there were still 2017s around, I only searched 2018 and 2019.
Fun fact, when I went to register my 2015 Ninja 300, the UVIP didn't have a value for taxes soooo, yeah you can definitely save money there when you show them the bill of sale.

Motorcycles don't have a book value. It's always blank on the UVIP. However, random checks are performed where the MTO will send out letters to both the buyer and the seller, asking the price the vehicle was bought and sold at. If the prices doesn't match, then be prepared to pay the taxes back in full with a fine and interest.
I've remember reading people usually toss those letters out.
I've never heard of that, but I guess that's why both parties need to be on the same page when it comes to "actual" selling price.
Once the bike is sold, the seller is under no obligation to lie about the price.
2017 was the last year for the 300 according to kawi's website. So I just went with that year.
The MTO does not have values for any bikes. They are always open for gaming the system. You can do it with cars as well, it just takes more work (one appraisal or bill showing as is/not running/requires repair at a low value and another done at a later date showing the fixed/repaired state and value).

For that much, I want the 4-cylinder 250 that sounds like an F1 car at 18,000 rpm.
a 90's CBR250RR will run you at least double that asking price. Seems all the "baby" supersports from the 90's are shooting up. VFR400, etc.
Not a lot of appeal to that Interceptor though.

Thanks. I also forgot that Husqvarna has a promotion on. So currently if you buy new you also get a $1000 helmet and jacket from Husky. Zero incentive to buy used for more money lol.Fixed your link2019 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - less than 4k km - $6500

yup
seller prolly financed the whole thing
taxes and all
and for whatever reason needs out of it now
2 months after buying it
gonna take a pounding if he really needs it gone quickly
@ 4,000 kms it's lost I'd say 20% of it's value
it's worth 5,500 to 6,000
but that is unlikely to clear the lien on it

I didn't even know that Husqvarna made bikes...nice bike. Way too much money for me though.
