How much does mileage affect a used bike's value?
I'm looking at an '05 suzuki sv650 naked with 19k miles. It has never been dropped and has frame sliders, gel seat, heated grips, and exhaust. What would you say a fair price to offer for this bike is?
He was asking $3500 negotiable. $3500 sounds high to me for a bike with that many miles especially when I was looking at an '04 with 1600 miles for $4k. The 'book' on this bike if $4090, but it never asks you for mileage -- so I don't understand what the book value means if mileage is taken into account!?!!
I was thinking of offering $3k -- is this reasonable? Or should I just stay away from higher mileage bikes as a beginner?
