I am the proud owner of a TRX, but recently have been thinking about selling it on. Im trying to get a feel of what price it will fetch.

Its 2002 model ( 02 plate ) . Was one of the last to be sold in the UK. It is Mint, Immac , Nearly Showroom Condition with 15k miles on the clock. Oil change every 2000 miles and serviced to the hilt.

It's never ever seen rain in its lifetime.

It has custom made Carbon Exhausts including link pipes that I had bent on a mandrel bender to my spec, plus brand new Original pipes used for MOTs , Belly Pan & rear hugger.

Now the neg stuff. A car pulled out on me and put a hair line crack in the fairing which I have repaired, but a crack is a crack ( as the actress said to the bishop )

It's either sell as a complete bike or break it. I am in no hurry for money and have the space to keep & sell the parts over a long period.


What better place to ask then fellow TRX people !

Sorry for barging in :(

A W plate 7500 black TRX sold on EBay recently for £1800, which is a real bargain IMHO. You may have seen that. The price of a really good bike will depend on how and where you try to sell it, and how long you are willing to wait for someone who will pay what you want for it.

I'd say £2k max

Bear in mind that it is a 7 year old bike (even if it has only been registered for 5) and that they were selling them new from Y2K onwards for less than 4 grand !

In truth, I reckon you'll get more for it as the bike (but sell the cans, hugger and belly pan seperatly).

TRX bits do not fetch high prices and most are bloody heavy / bulky which makes posting very hard. Engine will probably make £500 plus but that's the only real big value item.

I've broken a bike so in the last 4 months so know what bits are selling for (PM me if you want more info)

Why would you strip a bike that looks as good as yours, Your mad!!! too good looking to destroy. Let someone else enjoy it if you dont want it. If you can wait youll get what you want for it.

Sheesh, I feel tempted. That's the kind of bike You'll dream on in 25 years time, "Why the f--k didn't I keep it?" Not so many around in good original nick anymore, would be a shame to break it!

You must be a very proud owner ... not hesitating to break your bike apart - particularly a bike in such a condition (provided that's true).

But do as you like - it's your bike (alas!).

Uncomprehending greetings from Munich.
