That's what I'm thinking as well. I feel there has been a price creep since the last time I looked too.

I think the prices may start to decline due to the carona virus

Value Questions

Any thoughts on value for the following:

93 VR R-1 with 30k miles, essentially stock, was repainted by the previous owner (which was more than 11 years ago). Has good compression numbers. The rear wing is missing in this photo, but it does have one. The previous one was damaged so I purchased one from the forum, had it resprayed and installed.

93 VR R-1 odometer, now at 30k

93 CYM R-1 with 62k miles, essentially stock, has had some sections painted by the previous owner but looks very good. Has good compression numbers. New tires, new front lip. Damage to the front bumper has been repaired.


93 CYM R-1 62k miles

Based on a BB with tan selling for close to 40 I'd say 55k on the CYM and 50 on the VR R1. CRAZY market. No way to value anything because the next one might sell for 75k and have 75k miles, prices seem to me moving aggressively higher. That said because of the volatility of virtually everything including gas, prices may just as easily go back to the 30s. Great time to sell with a fat reserve on BAT.

I sold the VR R-1 to a forum member. If your numbers are valid, let's just say he got a very good deal and could bank some cash if he turned around and resold it. Still, I'm satisfied with the transaction. I didn't want to deal with BaT and did a direct deal arranged through Goodfellas. I've also sold my VR Base model. Still have the CYM for now. If when I choose to sell it, it likely will go through auction so as to maximize my ROI.
