would u offer $5,700 for this drz?

[lt88]

Here I Florida I see them for sell all the time from 2k+. You could buy a real nice one for 4500.

Area matters. Cali is pretty decent for pricing. If you live near trailer parks, clearly bike prices will reflect the low rent the dealer pays for space. I'm going to guess Anchorage and Hawaii  have the highest bike prices in the US.

 

Most bikes deprecate fairly hard. If you bought a Harley FX for 15k and a Yamaha Star for 10k in 1997, the Harley would now be worth about 5k and the Yamaha nearly nothing. Point is, all the talk of a bike 'holding' value is relative, both people lost the same amount.

lmao... tell that to ca owners... get on craigslist and see what ppl want for their drzSM model ?

in ca the past few years, diesel trucks, drift cars, and supermoto prices soared.. drift kids call it "drift tax"

That's my old bike. Minus those stickers on healdlight and rear plastics. It's been on CL for awhile and the price has been reduced over a grand. I'm assuming he would go lower. I still have every part that took off that bike.

The engine won't be damaged in any way due to the larger pipe, where would anyone get that idea from? This isn't a small bore 2 smoke track bike, for krisakes. I think he's a little high, even at the 5,500. It'll probably still be available in a few weeks, so maybe be patient?

Lean four strokes can burn exhaust valves, among other things. ?

And you think running a larger diameter exhaust will do that? Really?

[speedyreedy]

It's your money. If you like the bike get it.don't let a couple hundred dollars stress you out.always keep my business private when buying a bike.my wife doesn't even get involved. You only live once

You tell me; when the exhaust flows better, does the engine get richer or leaner?

So....a (minor) change in the air flowing through the carb has zero effect on the quantity of fuel metered into the airstream? It just gets substantially richer with less air and valve-burning lean with more? It will always meter a set amount of fuel, so jetting size must be increased to avoid valve destruction?

Really?

Sorry for the diversion/hijack, I'll switch to silent now.

Yup

I remember seeing a single wide trailer with quarter acre, for $600000 about a decade ago.... In California

It hasn't changed much. The house down the street from work just got out on the market. Its 15 acres and 2 bedrooms and 3 baths. It's nice but not $4,000,000 nice.

I have a piece of property that is worth more than the cabin that's buolt on it. I could get about 20,000 for the 900sq ft. Cabin and close to a million for the property. It's only an acre.

[ptgarcia]

$3000-3500. The year doesn't matter, is the same bike from 2000 to 2017

 

 

Maybe in Alabama, but not in Southern California.
