Anyone noticing these prices cooling down yet? People have 2013 250f’s for $5000 in New York area and within 250 miles….when will the madness end? Considering going to the shop and financing a brand new 250f before I spend that kind of money on a used one
Inflation? Maybe they are here to stay….
Pit Row
Last year in the early summer, I sold my 2015 250sx for $3900 and it had 80hrs on it. I could have stayed firm around $4500, but I want to move my bikes and not sit on them for a while. Plus I had a new yz250f on order that I was putting that money towards. At the time, I noticed similar bikes to my 250sx with higher asking prices, that werent selling for a while. I also went through this in the fall when I was trying to sell my 19 kx450. The price i thought was reasonable for my bike, was being blown out of the water by other bikes for the same model with lesser hours and the same asking price. My bike had 50hrs on it. I only had a few bites on it before I threw in the towel and traded it in. I may have lost out on a few hundred dollars more by not selling it out right, but for what they were offering thanks to the inflated market, it was a easy decision. Of corse the dealer turns around and trys to sell the bike for $2000 more than what they gave me, hence the reason the bike is still sitting at their dealership. I was trying to sell mine for $6000 and would have taken $5500. They have it listed for $7000, yet you can buy a new 2022 kx450 from a neighboring dealer for $8000 plus tax and fees. Good times lol.
Once Parker opens, if I see ya, I will stop by!
I think prices will come down a bit, but I don't think they will ever return to what they were. The cost of parts has gone up, the price of labor has gone up, shipping, and so on. That's likely going to keep the prices propped up from what they've been in the past.
On the other hand, I could see the recent surge in demand quickly dwindling away. This summer should see everything back to normal in terms of social/sporting events. So I think the people that were quick to get into the sport when there was nothing else to do, will be just as quick to drop it again when they have to get their kids 4 baseball practices and 3 soccer games every week throughout the summer. In addition to that, fuel is almost double what it cost last summer, lots of tracks are charging more this year (understandably), interest rates are climbing, groceries are astronomical. I see a lot of that contributing to demand for bikes/parts diminishing.
I can see a good case being made for either scenario, at least here in southern Ontario, ultimately time will tell.
