Default KBB vs. NADA

Which do you guys use when buying/selling bikes? I want to know how much I can lowball people due to the season, and KBB is always much lower than NADA. Wondering if KBB is a fair thing to base an offer on.

Found a couple of '03 636s for around $4k...I hate to even think about buying a Kawasaki but that's an awesome price.

I don't really want one, either. But there are a few going for $4100, whereas CBRs and R6s from that year are going for $1-2K more.

I saw an all-black F4i for $4K, but it's an 01.

kbb = kelly blue book

NADA= meh i dunno

basically you put in information about a given vehicle, and it will give you it's approx. value, based on geographical location, year, mileage, condition, options/accessories, etc

So you're thinking about buying something you don't want because it's a good deal? You sound like a freakin' women. Don't buy something just because it's cheap.

KBB is always low for both bikes and cars. Even though KBB says it's market value I've always found their prices to be lower than market.

Offering 5-10% below asking for both haggling and seasonal purposes is a decent guide to follow.
