"Will post to Australia" If has been turned in several times at 6,200 to 6,400 and is still sitting at 6,400. One would think that is what the market will be bear.

eBay probably isn't representative of the whole bike market.  Not everyone thinks of eBay first when they want a bike.  Besides- the basic assumption regarding eBay is that you'll get a bargain.  Hence the lack of willingness to bid realistically.
I can't see the mileage anywhere Did anyone ring and find out?  If it was lowish, $8500 might be achievable if he's patient.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

In May 2009 when I bought my 2004 ST13, it had 66,000 on it and I paid $16,000 which was about right then, I thought.
This one is older and the market has changed, but I think $8500 would be fairly right, even $9K for a motivated buyer.  It's just we inhabit a limited market niche, and I think there is a general economic slump.

Candy Red 2009 ST1300 at TeamMoto Cairns with 32,000 km for $10790.  Incl topbox.
That adds a bit more perspective.

I should have said what the eBay market will bear.

passed in again........ at $7,250
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

That's obviously the price he should have accepted.  Even dealers will adjust their price to meet the market.
