Time has come for me to move on. Hard for me to put a value on this for I'm biased and have way more money and time into bike and hard for me to put a value on it. I'll start by saying I bought it with the engine in it from a fellow vitard. It's a 2010 Rmz chassis with a 04 Ktm 200sx engine. Current hours are 51. Recent top end with 185lbs of compression. Here's pics and a list of things to follow.
Ohlins forks and shock. Rode twice sine full rebuild
stock shock included no stock forks
New ohlins steering dampner
Applied racing 20mm of set clamps
Stock clamps included
9.5 mm hydraulic master cylinder w 3wt mineral shock oil. Super easy pull
Stock clutch master included
Crf front master
Stainless braided line
Ap racing front pads
Stock master included
A60 carbon hubs w bearing and spacers new from dubya
Stock spokes
Did stx rims
Braking std rotors
Titanium hardware every wheel nut and bolt from racetech
Motion pro lightweight rim locks
STD bike master tube
New Michelin intermediate front soft rear. 2rides
Tried to build lightest wheel set I could.
Complete stock wheels with rotors spacers and multiple sprockets

Stock 200 Sx pipe with carbon guard
Extra stock pipe and new dep pipe raw
Extra pro circuit silencer non shorty
Stainless rear line with ap racing rear pads motul rfb600 fluid front and rear

Extra 03 200 sx engine with damaged cylinder. Was going to send to Tom Morgan but things changed

Always used rotella 15w40
Always ran Sunoco race fuel from drum and 2r 40.1
I'm sure I'm missing a few thing and sorry for long post. Just value a lot of your guys opinions and yeas the sprocket bolts are torqued. Race tech titanium by the way. Go ahead and fire away.

It might not sell fast depending on how much you're asking for it , but to the right buyer , you could fetch a pretty penny for it. Especially with all that extra stuff you have. Dang man , you sure you want to sell that thing? Kind of a rare / one of a kind bike.
Wild thought , but maybe sell a lot of that stuff separately , and the seller could make quite a bit more money I would think. I would think he would lose quite a bit selling it all as one big package.
The Shop
If you have another bike whatever but if that's your only one and it's all paid for you mind as well keep it and ride it the occasional time you have a chance.
Don't think it'll go down much in value.
Pretty awesome bike. Personally I'd keep it.
An 04 service Honda 500 can list and sell for 5K
An 04 250 with a 500 swapped by my professional welding buddy can list for 3K and get zero interest.
The reputation that service Honda carries brings that value. A home built swap scares a lot of people even when done well.
It might be a tough sale.
With that said , it looks like an amazing bike. Those engines are amazing I've ridden them and they are great.. Those chassis from what I read are amazing put that together with the ohlins and wow I can only imagine.
I think 35-4 is going to be the max personally. Maybe list it for 45, and go from there
Ride it. Take it easy if you are worried about getting hurt. Remember that you could get injured walking your dog. Life's short.
This bike has Ohlins Suspension which by itself is worth a couple grand. Plus it has a very popular motor in it...with back up.
I wouldn't sell that thing for less than $5500
Knowing how meticulous Danny is with his stuff, it's well worth the money. I know he didn't just slap a bunch of parts on this thing. He did his research and built a sweet machine.
Danny - Put it in the bazaar and the other online moto classifieds and wait for the right offer to come around.

Granted your bike is unique and one off which separates it, but again puts it in a unique class of buyers.
That being said, I’m sitting here trying to talk myself out of sending this guy five grand.
I wouldn't give it away if you don't have too!!
A previous poster made a good point on very few people having $5,000 cash vs. going to get a new one that can be financed.
It is an 8 year old frame with a 14 year old motor, so that is not the same as a Service Honda.
One option might be to sell off the fancy parts and SOMEWHAT return it TOWARDS stock. For example, put some standard forks and shock on there and sell the Ohlins by themselves. (same for spare engine parts, fancy wheels, bolts, etc.)
I think if you don't have or want to spend the time selling off parts and lowering the bike price, you will have it for a good while.
Good luck. It is a very nice bike.
I distinctly remember lots of photos from LV clubs in that thread haha.
Super cool build.
Very nice and unique bike!
The bad part is that it's an MPS frame conversion.
In saying that, I'd fork out 5K usd no problem at all. Actually, I'm about to get on the blower to let a few mates know about it.
That said, this is in my opinion easily one of the coolest bike builds I've seen and I wish I could ride it.
