2015 8036 miles woolich racing on bike flash system with the 02 sensor setup and race tools auto blip downshitft. Graves fender eliminator, ek chain, driven sprockets, hindle titanium slipon. Been struggling to find a buyer at the KBB value. 12k. Some website sent me an offer for 9500. A little low but im worried about the coming recession.
Would you guys do it? Anyone ever deal with rumble on?

9500 is like dealer trade in pricing more/less.

The problem with the 2015, it gets a bad name cause of the problems it had as the 1st year gen.

9500 does seem reasonable in a "normal" market, but there are some markets where the R1 is super hot cause of lack of supply. That same bike would probably sell up here in Canada West Coast for 11K all day. You'll really need to assess your own market to see what the supply/demand is. Sounds like your market might be quite high on supply or very low in demand, if so...$9500 wouldn't be too far off a slow market area.

Can't help you on rumble, never used them.

Have you tried listing it here? I don’t have FB but the marketplace used to be somewhat decent from what I recall, although you’ll never avoid low ballers wherever you go.

I’d never heard of rumble on before, I thought it was a dating app. Apparently it’s a good place to sell though, but I’d agree that’s a low price.

I think $9,500 is low, but doubt anyone pays 12k. It’s tough call. Last year this time It took me 3 months to sell my bike at value. I told at least 3 people no to lowball offers. My reply was, I can trade it in for what you are offering, if I have to accept that price, that’s how it will be sold, Traded In.
