Few reason why its too high, even for those pricey upgrades.

1. Its a 2013 model, first few with valve issues, and you can get a 2019 OTD for that, which has improved vastly over this.
2. Even if its a Rally Raid kit, he/she just put another 17" wheel upfront, with the sad fact that now it's a tube tyre, vs the stock tubeless. No one has managed to dent the stock alloys atm, it's not a Rally bike to start, ground clearance is the biggest issue, of which, they didn't do the main upgrade, a solid Rally raid Skid plate, so they did NOT do a complete RR kit a stated.

There have been a few 2016 Models with the 19" RR wheels sold for around $7.5k, this bike is $6.5k tops IMO, even then I'd get a 2019, people want the value of what they paid without adding depreciation or what the new models bring

Be a great bike, if it had a motor.

That ad contains all sorts of head shaking. It sounds like he needs the money, but just because you need $7500 doesn't mean that you can sell the bike to get 100% of the money you need.

" Can’t hold on to it due to financial reasons. Price is fixed but willing to negotiate "

So you can't keep it because you need money but you price it thousands above market value and the price is fixed but variable? Sounds like that negotiation wouldn't be at all painful. /s

Sadly that's the state of used bikes right now. I've spoken with a few sellers and they all stated to be in "financial distress" over covid19.

I'm sure some of it is true but some is opportunistic bs. I had one seller tell me he could show me the bike after work in the evening. When I was there a few days later looking at it and asked about flexibility in the price he told me that he had lost his job and needed to feed his family. Tried to guilt me, I guess he forgot what he had said a few days ago. I didn't even say anything, thanked him for his time and left. He texted me two days later asking if I was still interested at a lower price but by that point I didn't want to deal with him.
 
Not sure why sellers have the need to bring up their financial perils, the buyer wants a bike, not make a charitable donation to clear someone else's debts and pay their bills. When I sold the bike a month back, I did have quite a few offers so when the buyer wanted to negotiate in person, I had already priced it fairly with interest, so didn't budge, however, I did offer to get the safety done and deliver it to their house at my expense as they were a newish rider with no truck/trailer

I will offer delivery with in reason. I will even throw in some used gear if it fits them and I’m not using it.

I was thinking that the carbs needed love. I didn't realize they were gone.

If they want to get those kind of numbers, at the very least it should be complete and running and than you will get top dollar for what it is. Missing a pretty major component that also prevents you from running it to inspect for other issues puts the value right in the crapper.

I'm gonna guess that you're not Italian
I hear financial perils and I start to salivate.....that means I'm gonna get me a great deal, or walk away.

Financial trouble is great, just like with real estate: death, divorce or dumb... I'm going for a deal.

Apparently the $6,500 was a typo...it is now $7,500.

A little chine walk isn’t for everybody :)

I was out one time with a guy I really trust, in a boat he knew very well. At 82 mph, he took his hands off the wheel and we just gently chine walked a half dozen times before he grabbed the wheel again and gave it the beans. The hairiness rapidly increased from that point. Capped out around 92 but he was working really hard to hold on to it. The boat had nothing left at that point but even if you did manage to get more power, there is only so fast you can go at 21'.
