Someone thinks $8500: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=201028137573 For when listing (eventually) disappears:
Yeah...they came new from the factory with a RaceTech decal and a suspension setup sticker on the forks.
It is worth what someone will pay for it... That being said, dealers sit on leftover bikes for years with the price marked down $50 from MSRP and wonder why they don't sell. I still see new 2008...2007...heck even some 2004 bikes at local dealers priced right around where it was when brand new (like actually new). I have found that leftover bikes should be priced at what their used model sells for plus $1K as you get it new with a warranty - that's it. I watched a 1997 Jack Piner new KTM200 come up over and over on Ebay - they started at $15K and over the course of two years came down and down until someone bought it for around $3K and just rode it! it probably should have gone to a museum...but there just was not a market. We were riding in WV before it was called the Hatfield system and stopped to buy some parts at a rural Kentucky moto dealer that sold KTMs. This was in 2005 and he had his initial shipment of 2002 KTMs sitting on t e floor - all six of them. At that time, new RFSs were selling for $7K - and he offered his new RFS (albeit 3 if not 4 years old) for $4K OTD. Our little band of riders bought them ALL - all six! In the issue of transparacy he had some kind of bet with his dad about selling a KTM where everyone rode quads. We loaded six bikes on a trailer built for six bikes - that already had six bikes! Talk about the Beverly Hillbillys! Then each of us proceeded to call our wives and explain what a great deal we got! Long...ride...home...
I'd guess to the right guy about 3K. Something like that is really worth what someone will pay because there really is no reference point for cost on a new old bike. Its all about how bad someone might want something.
this is interesting from that ad... Here is a list of what other bikes we have for future auctions. Some he may not want to sell but offers always welcome.
