Title: What's it worth - feeler
Post by: Got Duc on June 10, 2008, 07:58:46 PM
So the Hypermotard is killing me. I think I need one. Catch is my beloved Duc must go to get it. Even though the Hyper is awesome I am still not totally ready to get rid of the Monster. I am going to Demo the Hyper two weeks.

This is what I have:

2005 Ducati S2R 800 Yellow
Quat D ex box, Rizoma Belt covers, Oberon bar end Led Signals, Led signals in the rear,Monstrak mirrors, Ohlins steering Dampner (not on bike), S4R Instrument panel, Comp/werks tailchop, Pit Bull stand. Two of a kind Duc foot Kickstand.

Extra Gas tank, Seat cowl and windscreen.

I have all the stock parts removed from the bike that would be included

So what do you think it would fetch?

Oh yeah the Duc Foot in case you haven't seen it.

Thanks

That kickstand is sweet! :D

Mileage would be helpful on the appraisal but also check kbb.com, edmunds.com and nada.com (one doesn't do bikes i think) and average their price ranges.  Don't count on the mods adding value unless the buyer values them.

5300 miles about.

I am looking to sell as a "package" possibly so I do not have to part it out.

Not sure what to ask for the bike, but is it paid off??  If so why not keep it??  If not I understand why it would have to go.  I like the hyper, but to me it feels like you are sitting on it (like a dirt bike) not in it like a monster.  So test ride to ensure this is what you want.  It is an awesome bike!!  Do what makes you happy.

Oh and where did you get the duc foot??

GotDuc,
I would pay to buy the duckfoot kick stand (and find you an OEM) off you if you end up selling the bike.

But also, you really don't want to demo the motard.  I did at Rockwell when if was released and I almost sold the RS for it.  It is just too much fun for words and a hooligan machine...say away for the demo.....!
I love the 'tard!

That's a sweet-looking monster but you aren't going to get enough for it to cover even half the cost of the HM.

I'll be (perhaps) the first to say I test rode a HM w/ termis and it was no big deal.  really wasn't that impressed and don't really dig that much wind in my face.  Wouldn't mind owning one in addition to a monster, but to replace it? - no way.

The monster is where it's at.  Hence the Ducati Monster list/forum/whathaveyou.  Sure we're inclusive to all Ducs, even all bikes, but make no mistake whenever I see someone selling their monster for an SBK or HM, whatever, I find myself saddened at their delusion.  Just my 2 cents.

Assuming the mileage is below 10k I think you could get $6800 or so, or $6500 stock. Parting it will make you more money without a doubt, and I know someone that wants your exhaust!

exhaust and kickstand. would go fast I would imagine.

I am not totally sold on the HM but it draws me in.

I have a DRZ400 and love the riding position of it. (the only problem with the DRZ is it needs another gear for the highway)

The wind doesn't bother me really.

The kickstand was handmade by myself.  It is the 2nd-of-3.  The 3rd one was recently sold by a customer for $400 when he sold his bike. (they seem to be increasing in value!)  Due to the larger base, suspension height and lean angle -- the bike needs to be fairly close to get full surface contact with the ground.

I made those as well as a dragon, RatFink (sold for $560 last year at auction) and some lucky # ones as well as a DML logo. I no longer make anymore due to the labor involved in creating - I mainly did them as they are "fun".  I will release a cast aluminum variation this Winter -- but they will be manufactured and not handmade anymore and are slightly different.

As for the Hyper -vs- Monster?  The Hyper's are fun and know quite a few people who have them.  I personally dislike the height and forward seating position.  Also I think in a few years, they will be a passing trend. (ie: SportClassic) The Monster 10 years from now will still be immortal.

I thought about trading in my Monster for a Hyper, then checked my insurance rates. My 12 month policy with an '07 695 is under $400. That same coverage would cost over $2,500 with the Hyper. That's with Dairyland to boot - normally they are pretty cheap.

I don't like the Hyper that much.

I didn't read every word of all of the responses, but you'll almost always make more money converting the bike back to stock and selling all of the extra parts separately.  Any part the the potential buyer wouldn't add on later is worth approximately zero dollars to them.  Selling the parts independently usually lets you get top dollar for each item.

Are there any parts that you can use on the Hypermotard?
