Truthfully it is a matter of time before you have an accident. If you are not comfy taking that risk then bikibg is not for you

With how little you use it, maybe you should sell it -- 2340 miles in a year is pretty low. I have twice that, and would have a lot more if my wife would let me go on adventures on it more often. ;)

If you're not having fun and it seems to be more of a chore to keep with, sell it.

Thinking of selling mine too, but only because I got a 'big bike' and can't really justify having 2 bikes! (although I'm still considering it!)

Dealers were offering me about £1500 - 2011,2500 miles, very good condition and stock.

I reckon I could get around £1800 in a private sale though.

i got mine for £2250 brand new just pre reg , that's the only down side to a pcx resale values are low , due to dealers cutting RRP down to shift stocks.

i did ask :lol:
He said he couldn't move on price, but i got a free jacket, helmet, gloves and CBT. I know the price im asking is a little high, but like i said im in no rush so thought i would gauge interest and see what offers i get first. Its on gumtree, preloved and used wolverhampton now. Its the only used one for sale in my area right now so worth a try.

Yeah if in no hurry may as well start at that price and drop as you need to. Well you got free kit and cbt so that drops the price of what you paid.

Yeah, was an £80 jacket, £20 gloves, CBT is £100 and they only offered a £50 helmet and it was crap so i paid an extra £90 to upgrade it to a nice flip front that matched the bike lol.

That's a shame that you want to sell, but as you said if your not using it, no point in keeping it. I did the same last year, had a Triumph Bonneville for a year and a half and only covered 3500 miles. So got rid and replaced with the PCX which is 13 months old and covered 4400 miles! Go every where on it, hate using the car, stuck in traffic! There's only been about 8 days that I've used the car to work since I got it! But now thinking about trading it for a bigger Scoot! Couldn't do without one now!! :lol:

I thought like that about my car, but when i bought an automatic everything i hated about driving a car disappeared. Maybe i was just really into the PCX cus its an automatic?
Man, im so lazy...

Yeah i feel kinda sad about selling it :cry: But id rather it get used by someone rather than just sit in my garage waiting for its turn between it and my car :lol:

I hope you'll stick around here still, we'll miss you. :(

That'll be good if you can get £2000 for it, you probably saved the difference in gas. :)
