Is $4500 a fair price for a 2013 Honda CBR500R?

Seems a little high but those bikes are always in demand so it might not be too far out there. Start low and see if he counters.

If you are ever in the market for an aftermarket exhaust, i want to trade my Leo Vince Corsa GP full stainless system for a stock one + cash on my CB500F.

Why not? I bet he could ride this bike for a year, put 5000 miles on it and sell it for almost, if not exactly what he paid for it if he takes care of it.

And on the street it's the only bike he'll ever really need.
I started on a Kawasaki EX500 (glad to see Honda picking up the 500 vertical twin) and I've owned a number of other bikes from Harleys to BMW to a Honda RC51. And looking back, getting a new bike is always exciting, but for the actual riding experience the EX500 was the most fun. All I should have done is traded up to the Ninja 500 to get the the 17" rubber, or done a fork swap, and banked the cash.

This is my 4th bike, I don't really care what chest thumping macho noobs say anymore. Shoulda get zx10r blah blah blah with that $4k

It's a 500
I'd rather pay $3800 for a 750cc Katana or something..
even the newer 600cc inline 4rs are better.
That is not a 4-cyl bike,amirite?
yeah..I don't care about the price so much..i want something that going to move when that throttle gets twisted.

It's a vertical twin. Just speaking for myself, I'm not a fan if I-4s on the street, because by the time you feel anything, you're well past any speed limit. Too smooth.

Agreed. I made money on my gs500f, made it almost a even trade for a sv650n. Now debating what to get after the sv.
I often look at 250s to buy, throw around town and sell for profit.
Sorry, I now have a 2013' CB500F. Going to sell the GS as soon as the weather improves. Only paid $1400 for the CB, so I hope to get that out of the GS + parts. Even trade for a nicer bike
Haven't had a chance to Ride it yet
. Just got the insurance, title and registration done today. Anywho, I used to ride a Super Sport and it's just wicked fast....too fast for the street. That and the seating position & poor gas mileage doesn't do it for me anymore. This on the other hand: High torque, 65MPG average (on Fuelly.com), excellent seating position, and sporty looking. WIN WIN WIN on all aspect.
Squid noobs logic, fastest bike = best bike evaaaa
I have more fun on my Honda PCX150 scooter than my Ninja ZX6R.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the CBR500R. The GS500 averages around 50 while the CBR500R averages between 65-70 mpg.
