taylormade21 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hey everyone, I just recently joined and my intro is in the intro section. So, I need some advice and want to know your opinion on purchasing a used 2016 FJ-09. Below I've included what's in the for sale post and want to know if it's worth the price being asked which is $9,000 2500 milesCustom gel seatGPR steering Damper Garmin GPSAlways covered in garageBought brand new and serviced at K&B MotorsportsLED turn signals front and rearLicense plate relocation kitAdjustable brake and clutch leversFactory hard bags with locking kitFrame sliders From the pictures, it looks very clean, but the price seems quite high. Even if I were to talk him down to let's say, $8500....is that price worth that bike? Because I'm new to the FJ world, I just don't have a lot of experience with them. thanks in advance.

Guest Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) I bought a brand new 2017 left over for $8995 this past November. Depreciation is a real thing. Edited April 14, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 And all the extra farkles really don't add to a bike's overall value. Mileage is nice and low however. I bought my stock 2016 a year ago for $7,500 here in NH. It had about 3500 miles on it. BUT -- Today I'd rather spend of few grand more and get a 2019 Tracer GT. Remind the seller that his FJ is now a discontinued model, replaced by the nicer GT, which further depresses the value of all FJs! cb 1 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormade21 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 So KBB seems to be pretty spot on a $7,500 for private pay. I know CA prices are always a little higher than other states. thanks for your input and confirming my suspicions that it was high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylormade21 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Just to give an update...yesterday I picked up my 1st FJ. A white 2017 with hard side cases. I'm looking forward to farkling her out. Beng a 5'4", I'll have to really get used to the taller seat height. I see a lot of empty parking lot slow maneuver practicing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
