Valuation Opinions

[mickt1964]

Thinking of selling my hybrid LC. Why, just don't ride it at all, I have two other bikes, one being a Aprilia RS250 for my two-stroke kicks

So looking for opinions on a reasonable valuation

This bike is has had a ground up rebuild with all receipts for every part bought. most of which are new parts.

I have owned this bike since 1989 and did a extensive restoration 4 years ago, with some subtle dates over a standard LC, but I have probably only ridden it 3 times since, just don't have the time, so it sits in the garage, gets wheeled out and started, cleaned and put away. I would say I have done less than 100 miles on it.

So spec of bike.

• TZR front forks and front wheel, forks fully rebuilt with new internals with Hagon springs.
• TZR rear wheel fitted to LC swingarm, so it has a rear disc brake conversion, work carried out by NK racing for the conversion, using a HRC rear master cylinder
• Both standard TZR calipers fully rebuilt and powder coated silver, with Brembo front disc and standard TZR rear disc, with new pads
• HEL brakes hoses, with TZR master cylinder
• Wheels powder coated satin black.
• New Bridgestone BT45’s
• New Hagon rear shock
• Motor fully rebuilt by Ron Fahron, with a 275 conversion and a street tune
• Casings and barrels powder coated satin
• Allspeeds genuine original large can type, bought these back in the day.
• Uncut rear mudguard
• Professional paintwork is metallic silver and grey
• New Renthal chain and sprockets
• Carbs ultrasonically cleaned with all new internals


Lots of brand new genuine yam parts including
• Brand new genuine clock casings with custom faces
• Brand new genuine headlight casingBrand new indicators
• Brand new genuine radiator shroud
• Brand new genuine loom
• Brand new footrests and gear/brake levers
• Lots of new genuine smaller items to much to list individually
• All bolts stainless allen throughout.

So a well sorted LC, as I said I bought this in 1989 to turn into a racer, but due to injuries it never got to the track.It does not have matching frame and engine numbers and was like this when I bought it, I think it was an ex racer anyway.

This is a big decision as lots of time, effort and money gone into this project.

The first post on this section explains how to post a photo

[markhoopy]

Signing up to Photobucket and adding photos to it is fairly straightforward.
Once you have done that you just have to click the IMG code I have arrowed in this pic - you will see it flash 'Copied' when you do.
Now go to the forum post you are typing and paste the code where you want the pic to appear, either by using CTRL-V or right-clicking your mouse and choosing 'Paste' from the menu it brings up.

Yes, that the bike, thanks

Lovely looking bike, and obviously a lot if work and money gone into it, as for pricing its a funny thing when its a hybrid, as opinion is divided between those who value originality over mods, personally all I ever wanted was a hybrid, so going on what I paid (right or wrong) I'd say roughly £3500

[wolfboy1]

nice looking bike , 3.5k sounds good

Hi
Lovely looking Lc Mick. Rigga is spot on - pricing Hybrids is difficult as the big money is in totally standard, matching numbers etc etc 350Lc's. Having said that, Hybrids get a big following and one as nice as yours would fetch good money. I don't like selling stuff on ebay, but if you are serious about selling it put a reserve on it and see where it goes from there, unless someone offers you the right money in the meantime.
Good luck

Dusty

Looks nice ,does it say anywhere where you are located ?

[unrealedd]

Does it come with any of the original parts?

[sarnia1]

looks nice.I would try and keep it.

[sarnia1]

Maybe do a 350 conversion bit more bite to it

[mickt1964]

No original parts left, most of which were scrap. The only parts that are TZR are the forks, wheels and brakes. Oh and the Allspeeds.
Everything else is LC, genuine.
I was thinking £3-3.5 if I do decide to sell, but then I do fancy a VFR400

Nice neat bike. you have there. Likely to sell quickly.

I'm more of a 'mostly' stock fan though, Not that that has Any relevance.
Just astounded that our Yamas go for Surprising Coin inna UK.
I'd be damned lucky to get 3000 cdn$ (Not GBPs) for my LC and I'm the 3rd owner.

[mickt1964]

Showing your age there, silver dream racer... ha ha.
It nice in the metal
I would say its a hybrid light.

[Yogi]

It's a nice subtle looking bike. I really like it
