Dealer is offering 3.5 k for my 16 MT07 with just 5k on it.Is that fair or are they trying it on?

It’s not too bad. They would likely retail it at £4.9k and maybe take £4.7k. If it needs tyres and a service they would make £1k on it.

Bikes like yours are the easiest to shift. If you put it up for just under £4k it would go. I reckon you could get another £250 out of them if you don’t want to sell it yourself.

For a trade-in that sounds about right. I guess you could haggle a few hundred quid if you are upgrading.
Either that or sell it yourself, which can be a complete faff....

It's a 3 year old bike that cost £5k new so £3.5K from a dealer is about what I would expect, as said above if you sell it privately you may get £4 to £4.5k

Recently bought an MT07, slightly older but with similar miles from a Yam dealer for £3.9K so I'd say the trade in offer is about right. They regularly seem to get advertised for anything between 4-5K though on Autotrader

Depends on the dealer and the bike you're buying really, I got £4,100 for my 2014, 11,000 mile MT 07 last year, only lost £300 on it over 3 years of ownership, so shop around.
