I have a friend that has a newer GSX600 and he has a Yoshimura TRC carbon fiber slip on he wants to sell.

A friendly note....it's Yoshimura, one word. Hideo Yoshimura, amazing dude.


Here he is, praying to the god of valves.

Generally, add ons don't add much value. It all depends on condition. Has it been down? I look at nuts and fittings....are they boogered up or not?

Pics would help.

What year is it? What country are you in? Are you interested in buying it or helping him sell it? A good price for the buyer is different than a good price for the seller? Are you intentionally providing as little information as possible?

His bike is a 2013 and we are in the US. I dont want to buy it, I am just trying to help him get an idea of what to ask and the slip on is in great shape, he put less than 1000 miles on the slip on

IMO slipon makes no difference to value of the bike.
Why not start with this

Then compare to what you find on CRaigslist\ebay\classified for your local area.

A slip-on will add virtually nothing to the value of a bike. Those things only cost a couple hundred bucks anyway.

Suggested retail value for a 2013 GSXR600 is approx. $7500. Trade in value is about $5200. If he can get $6.5-7k for it I'd say he's doing well, assuming it is in good running order and doesn't have a ton of miles on it and he has all maintenance records and tires/battery/plastics are all in good shape with minimal wear and tear.

If it needs tires, battery, maintenance etc. the value would drop substantially.

The problem with bikes like this is that there are literally dozens and dozens of them on the market at any given time so you kind of have to price them to move if you really are motivated to sell. A quick craigslist search reveals hundreds of such bikes for sale in my area.

Plenty of unrealistic mofos trying to sell some pretty old bikes for way more than they're worth.

I found an ad for a 2006 GSXR750, guy is asking $8100 for it. There is another ad right next to it for a 2007 GSXR600 for $4900.

Ask $275, sell for $225. Thirty seconds on Google found the TRC new for $466 delivered.

And if he asks you to write the CraigsList ad for him, do him a favor and decline.
