fastbob Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Remember my old ER5 ? The red one that I did up and went to Scotland on ? The one I did the engine build and swap on ? The one I sold for £ 500 ? Well look what I've just found on eBay . I don't know whether to laugh or cry . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-ER500-500-ER-sports-touring-motorcycle-/284132165577?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James in Brum Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 When I was looking to get my bike I kept seeing your comments about er5 and kept looking and all the ones I could see were as much as my zzr and over. A grand. You could absolutely make money buying them tarting up and selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's probably gone up in price due to have a famous previous owner. I've noticed that bikes of that era are increasing in value. I paid £1500 for my CBF and similar bikes now, four years later, are all over £2k.

husoi Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Keep in mind that 2nd hand bikes in Scotland are more expensive than in England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 What I'm basically highlighting here is that I genuinely thought that £500 was a fair price but someone has just paid nearly double that for the same bike with nothing altered except a new chain and sprocket set .
