What's my moto worth?

Post by Electric Earth »

I'm looking to sell my motorcycle. It's a Thai brand knock-off Honda Winn. It was serviced a couple months ago. New exhaust, brake pads, cables adjusted, replaced a spring in the transmission because it wasn't shifting into 1st quite right. It runs well, lights all work, starts right up when cold, plenty of tread left on the tires. It's a cool bike and I wouldn't be selling it if I weren't moving. What do you think I should ask for it? I've heard you can get a Winn for $250, but every one I've seen for sale is posted for $400+. Personally, I think mine is definitely cooler and better than a stock one, but I don't know if that means it's worth any more. I'm not sure how much to ask.

Not sure how why my brain channeled a dad from the 80s and did a finger picture on that last one... Of course I'd take a better one before posting a sale ad.

Typical tag and ownership card with matching numbers, but not in my name.

I know the previous owner and it's been driven around Siem Reap for at least a couple years with no issue, so the tag and ownership card are not a problem.

If the plate is Thai, it's illegal and bike is worth maybe $125/150.

If it's viet plate and card maybe $225/250, if you get lucky.

I bought one of these in excellent condition a few years ago for $20 and a broken mobile phone.

Vietnam plate.
And while I'm happy for your AMAZING, INSANE deal($20? Stolen bike? You can't buy a broken moto for $20.), that doesn't at all reflect or affect the real market value.

No, it came with plate and card, yeah it was a good deal. The owner was leaving and nobody even wanted to give him $50,lol.

The point is your bike is worth $225/250,if you are very lucky. With no flights at the moment, and a buyers market, people have far more choice than normal.

Vietnam plate can be ridden across borders. Thai plate usually can't after a short period of time.

This means the Vietnamese reg is more desirable on the wins.

But, not legal reg here, as you said

Just saying the $20 is certainly not the norm, and doesn't reflect market value. Great score, though. I agree with you that the timing is certainly not in my favor. I'm sure I'll be taking a loss on this one. I wish I could bring it back to the U.S. with me. You can't buy small bikes there, and I don't really care to ride around on a 750cc+ Harley style cruiser or a 600+ sport bike(not that those aren't fun). The closest thing I'll probably find to a small "run around town" type bike is a non-running project bike from the 70s or 80s for $500 and a bunch of cash to fix it up. I'll be in a car for a while. :cry:
