Bikes Are So Cheap Now, What's Mine Worth?
Discussion
I'm looking at moving my VFR750 FM on, I want to relive my Fireblade days. 
I thought I'd put it on Facebook Marketplace to get a feel for it as eBay charges are quite a chunk and Autotrader is very costly and doesn't guarantee a sale.
It's a '92 with 61k. I bought it with no service history, buying it on condition alone at that age. It's just had a fresh MOT last week after spending £300 on discs and pads and getting the calipers stripped and serviced. New battery and tyres have loads of tread on so it's needs nothing spending on it.
I see sheds for sale at £400-500 to dreamers asking £1500-2000.
It's an Irish registration with a UK V5, it's never put me off buying one before but I guess it's puts others off. I've had a load of 'Is this available?' texts but no follow ups yet.
I've put it up for £995. Am I dreaming?

Personally, I think it's a little steep.
It's a few years back now but I bought a VFR 750 FP (I think? 1993) for £775 and it had MOT, had a few bits of wortk done and was only on 30K miles.
I know prices have gone up but realistically I reckon it's an £800 bike, the mileage is high and although the engines go on it will put people off I am sure.
Facebook is full of messers, I have had lots of people message but due to the auto-message options sometimes it's genuinely a slip of the finger.
Price it right, it will sell
