Europe UK » What's it worth

Hi all
Going to be selling the RS but I'm struggling to value it as it has such high mileage so any help would be appreciated.

It's a BMW R1200RS Sport SE M/Y 2017 DOFR Sept 2016 (66 plate). Tax, MOT and BMW extended warranty (transferrable) until Sept 2021. One owner, 37000 miles. Keyless. White/Grey/Red frame.

Accessories aside which never add much value, I was thinking £6000 with haggling over accessories.

Extras include RS panniers (a bit tatty), GS Vario topbox, rear Mudslinger, Avant Guard engine protector, rear grab rails, MRA MXC and Touring Screens, BMW HP Akrapovic end can (original inc.). Sat nav mount relocated to behind screen currently using Hornig mount but comes with Vortex mount and Alda mount and phone holder adaptor for sat nav mount.

TIA

People can tell you loads of numbers, but if you want to find out what your bike is worth, offer it on eBay, with a starting price of 1 (whatever currency).

That doesn't sound like very high mileage to me. I had no problem selling my 1991 K100RS with 46K miles years ago and my daughter's 1981 R65LS has around 100K miles on the clock and still starts and runs fine. Even its original tool kit that has resided under the seat for the past 40 years is still in great condition. I would expect a modern BMW, properly serviced and cared for, should last well over 100K miles. Of course you will have to convince the buyer of that.

I agree; the trouble is there are very few examples with that mileage in the UK, I can only find one above 30k.

Shame. It would be worth if it was in Lupin Blue😉😉😉😄😄

Personally I think high mileage machines are better value for money. I would prefer a machine that does 50 miles plus every time it is fired up rather than something that never gets properly warm.

The character of your mileage may be worth mentioning to a potential purchaser. If most is motorway miles then wear and tear on suspension and other components will be significantly less.

I bought my F800GT 2.5 years ago with full luggage with something like 36k on the clock at a considerable saving compared with an average mileage machine.

A full service history, of course, will help.

P.S. It goes without saying that you will get a better price mid-summer than you will now.

An average mileage 66 plate must be worth £8500 so is yours really £2500 less? WitH FSH I'd go £6750 as originally sold and make up £500 on extras.
Best of luck

I really can't comment on modern BMW motorcycles, but I do know that the old "air heads" didn't like to sit around for very long without being ridden. If they do that they start leaking oil from all of their seams like an old British bike and those leaks become very difficult to resolve. But if you ride them regularly, they will stay remarkably happy and oil tight.
