What's my F2 worth

[adz]

What's my F2 worth. Going to put it on Ebay but don't know what to set the reserve at?

Yamaha RD350LC YPVS F2 in original condition
Matching numbers UK bike with STD engine
Not restored just looked after and loved
24k miles, runs and rides well
MOT just run out, and due to the current climate can’t get one. But will pass no problem
This bike is a solid original example which I would say is in good condition (some broken clips, paint crazed)

All the following done in the last 5 years
Carb brass balls replaced with grub screws for easier cleaning
Front wheel bearings
Avon roadriders fitted
YSS rear shock
New Front master cylinder and rear repair kit
New Chain
Triumph 955i 4 piston callipers remachined with YPVS logo, original callipers supplied
New STD rings and small ends
New rectifier
New head race bearings
Swing arm and dog leg bearings
Goodridge braided hoses front and back
Por15 tank sealer (pinhole in bottom left of tank, derusted/plugged and sealed)
New battery
Recon oil pump by Arrow

Set the reserve at the least your willing to accept then start it at 99p for a 10 day auction

My reserve would probably be around £3k to £3.5k

Just my opinion though

why don't you advertise on here 1st ?

[adz]

I may well do,but at what price?

[iwantalc]

just take into consideration what you have paid for the bike and what you have spent on the bike then add it up and make your own mind up on what you would be happy to take for it ,, opinions will vary on prices look at bikes on ebay some people are realistic with prices while others have been smoking too much weed and living in cuckoo land ..

can See the reg but if bike has just ran out of mot it should now have a extra 6 mths mot on it , as long as it ran out after the 30th of March

A few years back the F2 was seen as the pig ugly model. Now they are much more desirable because everyone has worked out it has the best standard motor and they are worth having. I absolutely love those colours and if I was looking for one I would be very interested. However, I am not, but I agree with Yogi, you are looking at a starting price of £3000.

Looks good to me. If I could buy it for £3k I would be well happy, so maybe you should set the reserve a bit higher!

That's a nice looking bike, put it on ebay would be my advice, I would say at least £4500 with all the work that's been done, and IMO now is the time to sell, I would advertise it as classifies add put a higher price than you will take and put offers on it, 30 day listing for £15 and no end fees for classified adds, or start it at the price you would take and let the market decide.

I think that would fly out the door fast ATM

Correct

I did a check on my wife's car as I knew it would be soon and was confused when dvla site said 7th Dec

Thought they were just giving grace, not extending the due date

If i was in the market for an f2 ,and that is a real nice f2 in the best colour imo i,d be parting with over 5k for that mot or not . John.

One little thing though! I see it’s had new rings (STD) and little ends. With 24,000 miles on the clock it just may be time for a little more work up top and I would definitely be looking at an overhaul downstairs. Original crankcase seals and main bearings don’t last forever you know.

Fab looking bike.....I think I'd be hanging onto it! What did it end up fetching?
