BigRed350x Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Guys... I had a guy on planetsand want to buy my drag bike & asked me for a price. I have never totaled up or tried to figure a price for my drag bike, so figured I would ask for everyone's input here. Its a 10mil cub drag ported by Tim @ Titan. Metal Tech +4 hybrid frame, spring-loaded hinson basket with straight-cut gears, hinson inner hub, hinson pressure plate, direct drive lockup & cover, 2-5 override, timing plate, cool head, custom cut domes, k&t mikuni pumper methanol carbs, chariot bowls, lew swan painted fiberglass, metal tech +14 swinger, mod quad drag axle, 13-paddle SLS haulers, LSR a-arms, works front shocks, marvin shaw rear, metal tech drag tank, k&t racers edge pipes, chariot outboard bearing support, ODI grips, ASV clutch lever, tons of chrome and billet parts... That's not everything, but the big stuff. What do you guys think is a fair price to toss to the guy? I am kinda partial to this bike, so I certainly dont want to give it away.

locogato11283 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Shoot, it's really hard to say these days. I see full blown drag bikes going for less than $8,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Shoot, it's really hard to say these days. I see full blown drag bikes going for less than $8,000. Yeah, that's why I was asking... I know it wouldn't sell if I listed it for a high price. I kinda like this thing, so I don't want to just give it away, but I know I can't get what its actually worth... - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Sadly...as a complete bike......you'll take a bath selling it whole. Bikes like that have fallen to $6,000 - $6,500 You have WAY more into it than that. You would be better to part it. Or maybe he wants it bad enough to pay you more considering what's done to it, but I've seen too many bikes with that level of performance and quality sit without offers on Ebay to think that you'll have much luck getting $8,000+ for it. The typical "Cascade Bling Bike" that was in the $20,000 range to build and would sell for 13-15K has dropped to the $7,500 - $9,000 asking price levels and go without offers or sales because owners know what they have in them and would rather keep them than entertain lowballers. You just got that bike together...you can't be tired of it already........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just got that bike together...you can't be tired of it already........... Actually just the opposite, I really like this one. BUT at the same time I also really like big piles of cash. haha! I told the guy $7k so we will see what he says. I just wanted some input to see if what I was thinking was way off base. Thanks - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lms1977 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I would think to anyone looking to build a bike like that , that 7k is a good price cause you would put way more than that into it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. If you go through and add up what it would cost to buy all the stuff new it gets ridiculous. Between the pipes and ported/polished top end you're already into it over $1500. $1k in the clutch, etc etc, then all the little stuff that nickel and dimes you in the end. All the chrome bolts and washers and nuts. (everything on the bike is chrome, not stainless) billet covers, cables, grips, tires... Its ridiculous how much money we dump into these things knowing you will never get it back out of them. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 7k is a good price. i wouldn`t go 6999.99. keep it before u take less. it cost double that to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
