I posted on here a few weeks ago seeking what you thought my bike was worth as I was considering selling due to a workplace injury. Well.....Here it is.
Honda ST1300 2002 model. Red in colour with only 20,000 klms on it (Yes I know it is not even run in). It is in immaculate condition and comes with the following : Digital gear position indicator and digital volt guage which are both mounted in with the tell tale lights. Brakeaway throttle lock, led indicator tell tales mounted in the mirrors, custom back rest, 1 inch handlebar risers and upgraded headlight globes. Tyres are Bridgestone Battlax with about 75% tread remaining and has recently had new Platinum Spark plugs installed. It is in immaculate condition and will pass any test. Vic reg until 25/3/2015 and will come with a RWC if sold in Vic or I am happy to assist wherever I can to freight interstate. Low mileage and full of farkles makes for an excellent buy. Very reluctant sale but after 4 rounds of shoulder surgery, it is just too much of a handful for me now so I am hoping that someone here will get years of pleasure from it as I have had. Please pm me any messages or alternatively you can call me on 0419 446566. Asking $9950 ONO. Other photos available on request.

Esstee is seeking our advice regarding value.
-
Looking here I would suggest somewhere between $8,000 and $9,500.

I have just put a price on the original post. Biggles, I am still laughing at your comment. Took me a minute or two to work it out. I would dearly love this to sell quickly but I am also not prepared to give it away. Still tugging on my heart strings doing this. Thanks.
-
Would you accept a later model (2009, also perfect red) as a clean swap? You get a newer bike with more experience.
I get a nicely farkled bike to show around the country a bit, as it's obviously been starved of outings.

Well, if Esstee won't accept that offer, I'll make you a counter offer of a 2004 blue ST13 with very few farkles for your "inferior" albeit experienced red, Bill. :grin :grin
-
:fp Oh dear. Now I know why you are selling Esstee. 1.6 km per ltr. :eek
:rofl Just couldn't resist. :grin
-
On a serious note. That looks like one immaculate bike. Congratulations. I wish you every success with the sale.
-
Biggles, you are a funny, funny man. Skip, your not far behind him either. I would appreciate anyone getting the word out. If you hear anyone looking to update, get them to give me a yell. Thanks all.
-
Bit early to give it a bump so thought I might just give it a little nudge !!!!!!!
-
Seems like no one has any money to spare these days.
You've got bikebugger trying to sell a beautiful red ST13 for $4700 and can't get any takers and here's your charmer being studiously ignored. Seems every sensible bike rider has already got their ST and the rest of the fraternity are happy to stick with their inferior machines. And we just don't need a spare ST in the shed because one does the job reliably. If mine gets pinched I'll come begging to buy yours! :thumbs
-
No begging required Biggles. I will gladly sell it to you. Perhaps you think about an upgrade to a low klm ST while the opportunity is there ;-*

Stop it!! You know how weak my resistance is when it comes to red ST13s! :-(((

There is no other colour is there????

Is there nobody interested at all??????

Any nibbles on Bikesales?
-
Hey Biggles. I am yet to put it on Bikesales. I have had bikes on there over the years with not much luck. I have it on Gumtree and only had scammers giving me the S@#ts. Looks like I might have to whack it on Bikesales to see how it goes.
-
Good luck with the sale. It seems many people are having trouble moving their bikes. For my part, I was in the market to buy a few months ago, and there just wasn't much around. Timing can be a big factor. I think the key is to not be in a rush, and get the news out as far as possible, and if the product is good and the price is right, buyers will come.
-
My attitude is that if somebody is looking to buy an item, be it a motorcycle, car, caravan etc, that they will look at all available sales sources, Gumtree, Ebay, Bike Sales etc.
I recently sold a caravan which was advertised on Caravan and Camping Sales and Gumtree, eventually It was sold from Gumtree. I'm not sure at the end of the day if the $90.00 I paid for the add on Caravan and Camping sales was justified, although I did get a reasonable amount of response from the add.
As for my Honda ST1300, that has been For Sale now for many months, it is only listed on this forum and Gumtree. In the time that it has been For Sale I had one offer which was well below my minimum price and one phone call last week about it .
The guy that made the offer by email hadn't even looked at the bike, while I believe the offer was genuine it was obviously from somebody who was just bargain hunting. I guess if you make ridiculously low offers for an item often enough, eventually you may find somebody desperate enough to accept.
As for the phone call last week, the guy said he would try and get down in the next week or so to look at the bike. I'm not holding my breath waiting for him to show up.
My opinion is that the market is very difficult at the moment, nothing seems to be selling. People just don't have the money or they are reluctant to spend it or borrow it.
-
Just giving it another little nudge along.

OK everyone. I have reduced the price just a little bit and have now listed it on Bikesales to see how it goes. Link is below: http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/SSE-AD-3136592/2002-Honda-ST1300 (http://www.bikesales.com.au/private/SSE-AD-3136592/2002-Honda-ST1300)

Does it have ABS and/or fuel injection?
-
Hey J.C. It does definitely have Fuel Injection but does not have ABS although I have never found that a problem. Give me a yell if you want to know anything else. Regards....Tony

I've retrieved the MCCruise control system from my wreck, so with the fuel injection, I can use that on your model.
While we were two up, loaded and towing a trailer on the Black Dog Ride Around Australia a few months ago, I discovered that the ABS works really well, just before we hit a kangaroo on the Nullarbor Plain. We stopped in a straight line, which was a real bonus. If the bike had got crossed up at all, the trailer may have caused us to come down.
The ABS was certainly of no use in the next incident, that wrote the bike off, though.
Still thinking......
-
Scary stuff J.C. But you are here to tell the tale at least. Give it some thought and let me know. I would love to sell it to someone from here as i know it would be used for its intended purpose.
-
Nudge, Nudge, Nudge............
-
Sorry Esstee 13, I am committed to be buying another 2010 ST1300, so am no longer in the market for any other bikes at present.
:grin
:blk13
-
No worries J.C. Hope you got yourself a bargain.
-
Is there anyone !!!! who might be just a bit interested? :crazy :crazy :crazy

We're all quite interested, but can only ride one bike at a time. :grin
However, just so you don't feel unique, my last private sale of a bike took 6 months, with me dropping $100 per month.
-
Your not alone Estee. My St1300 has been For Sale for 5 or 6 months now, in that time I have had 2 phone calls. One guy was coming to look, I'm still waiting. The 2nd phone call was last night with a statement, 'we'll try and get down on Saturday to look at it". Not sure I should even stay home.
I had one sight unseen offer of $10,000.00 a couple of months ago, which I turned down (beginning to think I should have taken it). It's been on ebay now for 2 weeks, started at $11500.00 or Make an Offer with nil result. It was reduced to $11,000.00 or Make an Offer for the week just finished, I had an offer last night, $8000.00.
You've got to be kidding, life definitely wasn't meant to be this tough. It needs to go but I ain't giving it away for that sort of money. The trouble is, it's not being used and is depreciating further by the day. Not sure where to go with it.
-
I am in the same boat. Don't want to give mine away but riding it creates enormous grief after 4 lots of shoulder surgery. The fact I love the thing also makes me not want to give it away. I suppose we just wait and see. There will be someone out there that loves them as much as we do.
-
No worries J.C. Hope you got yourself a bargain.
I'm getting another black 2010 model for $14,500 + $665 freight. It has 22,600kms, good PR4 tyres and other things like an MCCruise Control, ZUMO350, (genuine Honda?) heated grips, fairing and mirror extensions and a Sargent seat.
-
Nice late model with low klms. Good Luck
-
Price reduced just a little bit more to $9650 ONO. Had a couple of nibbles but nothing I could call a decent bite.
-
Good luck Estee, you could try ebay for a 'set price or best offer'? Just a thought but you will probably only attract bargain hunters offering ridiculous prices, just as I did.
-
Still nudging this along. Had a couple of nibbles but nothing with substance.
-
Well after a couple of nibbles, I delivered my baby to the care of its new owner tonight. He has been given a card and encouraged to get on here and join up. I did drop the price a little but rego was due in 8 weeks and sold it also without a RWC so I feel I still did ok. Thanks for all the advice from here while it has been for sale. I will still be around from time to time as well just keeping an eye on things. Cheers.
-
You are welcome to pop in any time.
-
Thanks Brock.
-
Well done Estee, you certainly have to be a bit flexible with pricing in the current market. There are lots of bikes For Sale on Ebay, Gumtree and Bikes Sales that are way overpriced for the market we have at the moment. Some people just aren't doing their research before they advertise and are way to optimistic as to what their ride is worth.
-
Wow! That has been a saga for you. I know what a relief it was when I sold my ST1100 after having two bikes to feed for months on end. Followed by new regos, new RWC, near disks... :'(
Congratulations on the sale, and good man for passing the OzSTOC card on.
All the best with your future endeavours.

At last, well done

Congrats mate :clap
