Default Differences between Kelly Blue Book and Autotrader

My wife hasn't been able to work and the bills are stacking up and I need to know how much I can get for a never dropped Candy Blue CBR with 6500 miles on it.

I'm thinking I'll throwing my vortex rear stand as well.

KBB says 6500........its flawless, FE, Integrator turn signals in the rear, smaller front turn signals. Reflective blue rim tape.

I'm not hurting for the cash but I do need to move it. I can wait if you guys think 6500 is realistic.

Thanks.

Year?

Considering I see many '03 and '04 600rrs in the 6000-6500 range, I would think that 6500 is fair if you can get that for it.

your best bet is to look at what other people are selling theirs for in your area. The KBB on my bike is like 5700, but they go for more than that here in the NW.

MCnews.com com put the RR at 6555 for an '04 and 5965 for an '03. And this was for november of 05. Prices could have dropped a little now that the 06s are out and about. If you're bike is an 03 (depending on your area), i'd say 6500 is too much to ask for, rim tape aside
If it's an 04, i'd say you could probably try and get that out of it, but remember that people are probably going to come at you with a lower price and you'll settle somewhere in the middle.

KBB as you are aware, is only a guide... Basic economics always applies, "What the market will bare"... if not one wants a Argh See Fiddy One, then the market price goes down. Simple economics
