OK guys I have an 08 Zx6R completely stock with 4000 kilometres on it..Im thinking of selling it and maybe getting a 2010 ZX6R or maybe a ZX10 Im not sure yet...My question is How much do you think I should sell my bike for..Whats it worth..The bike doesnt have a scratch on it ,never been beaten on..The only thing I did to it was cut down that ugly ass back fender that looks like its off of a walmart bmx bike..LOL,and I painted the windsheild inside..Looks awsome.I know everyone will assume that itds a sportbike so it must have been beaten on..But honestly it hasnt..the 4000 kms is mostly from riding with my wife she rides my old 2007 Vulcan 900 Custom, So I mean 3rd gear and Im like where did she go..LOL..Any input would be great..I just wanna be fair but at the same time not low ball myself either...Let me know what you guys think it should be worth..Ive attached pics for you guys to see it as it is right now..

It also has had the valve cover gasket recall done..Oil has been changed at 1000 , 2000 , then 3000 when i switched to Kawasaki s4 Synthetic

Beautiful bike! Why sell it at all?

If I were to sell it, I doubt i would go thru the hassle just to get another 6 a couple years newer. I would go for the 10, if anything.
Be happy and ride it.

I totally agree with 185EZ....if your gonna get another 6R just keep that one but if your in the market for a 10R then i see the reason to sell it.

Hey, lets be honest, the 2009/2010 ZX-6R is a pretty good step forward in some areas, and if you like the looks of the new one, I say by all means go for it man.

Lots to think about thx for the input guys...I do love my bike...and it does go like hell..

Man great looking bike ! I would keep it if I was you .. I still have a 2006 636 and for the life of me I wouldn't trade it for another bike . I bet if you sell it you will wish you didn't .

that bike looks brand new. I dont see any reason to sell it for a 09/10 zx6r...i mean, ive got the 09, and its a great bike, but for the money your gonna lose on the sale/depreciation, might as well put it into your current bike....or if youve just got the itch to get something new id go with the the zx10!

Yeah I try..She get wiped down before every ride without fail...NO Point in having something nice if your not gonna take care of it right..

why would you sell that beauty???

Just for the look of the new 2009 zx? I would keep it and buy 2010 or 2011 zx10r. That's what i am going to do. You know a lot of people do not have the chance to own something like this bike. It is so hard to buy one of these, specially if you don't have the cash. Banks does not loan easy for bikes. Keep the bike and ride it safely.

that is a true gem you have. do what you feel is right for you. if it was me, i would hold on to that bad boy til i paid it off then i'd buy a 10r. i really wish i could have kept my 636 and bought my 10 :(
