CAT N ZX6R Price?

[Lee C]

I'm looking at another bike which is a ZX6R CAT N write off. What price would be a reasonable offer? The price tag is higher than I expected at £2000. What is a decent price to offer for it?The bike has been repaired and is in a decent condition for its age. TIA.

Year? Mileage? Service history? Any extras?

Any idea of what the damage was to make it a cat N?

I think he's taking the piss a bit at £2000. Probably just trying his luck.

 

Second hand bikes have definitely developed a "covid tax" as I looked at an ER5 recently for a project, and the guy was trying to tell me how a cat N bike with rusty shocks, no chain or sprockets, and didn't run was worth £1000. 

 

Cat N means it's non-structural, so I imagine it took a slide down the road and the cost of new fairings were too expensive or discontinued making the price of repair silly. But if it has a steady history of MOT's and service stamps/receipts, I'd still say it was a £1500 bike at best just because that cat N turns away 90% of people instantly. And you can find decent models between £1500-2000 that aren't written off.

Plus they haven't coiled up the vacuum cleaner lead properly. Shifty.
