I was a member of this site prior to today, but was overseas and without a bike for awhile and when I went to sign in I couldn't so re registered with this profile. I have an opinionated question. I currently own a 2012 CBR 600RR and posted it for sale, but someone asked if I would be interested in a trade for his 2007 R1 with 10,600 miles (pics below). I had no intentions of trading until he asked me and happened to be one of my favorite bikes. I have owned a 2000, 2001,2003, and a 2005 R1 in the past and love the Yamaha brand but decided to sale the last R6 I had and quite riding. That lasted 2 weeks and found a great deal on the CBR so I bought it. The only sticking point is he wanted to trade straight up but according to KBB and NADA the 2012 CBR is worth quite a bit more. Hope to not get blasted for asking but I am thinking if he comes up with at least $300 I will probably do the trade.

I can't say I know the value of bikes over there, but over here, theres minimal difference between teh value of a '12 cbr600 and an 07 / 08 R1. Could depend on what mods either bike currently has too.

This is just my personal opinion, but $300 seems like a bit of a silly thing to get hung up on - the 07 R1 is a hell of a bike, and with a flashed ecu is another level better again. If you're interested in the trade, I personally wouldn't let $300 be the difference between doing it or not.

He basically was looking to sell his and buy something smaller as he is not that big (5'7" 140 lbs), and possibly get better fuel mileage. I had no interest in trading but when he offered I did get a little excited! The $300 I don't think will be a sticking point for me so we are just going to link up and ride the other bike and go from there.
