SOLD 2009 Kawasaki Concours ZG1400 in NJ
« on: March 24, 2020, 12:12:43 PM »
2009 Kawasaki Concours ZG1400 with 44,208 miles

Selling because I'm bored of it and in the mood for something else

Runs super fantastically great and is in wonderfully excellent mechanical shape.
The last oil change was this past September at 42,483 miles and I always do the final drive gear oil at the same time.
This last time I also bled the front brakes and put in fresh fluid.
New battery was put in this past October and I keep it on an Optimate when not in use - much better then a battery tender.
Can't remember exactly when I did the tires or front brake pads, but they are still in good shape.  Never touched the rear brakes since I hardly use them. Who cares about brakes anyway, all they do is just slow you down and we ain't got time for that.
Good shape cosmetically but not perfect, it has scratches on the left mirror from when I brushed against the brick around the garage door opening, oops.
Bags are in good shape but have the typical boot scuffs you find on most of these types of bikes. Guess I should stretch more.
Has aftermarket heated grips, throttle lock, and a Luimoto seat cover.
When I bought the bike it had lowering links, short kickstand, and bar risers.  I took them off and put it back to stock ride height.  I kept meaning to sell them on ebay but never got around to it, so if you're short or like taller bars and want them we can work it out for a few extra bucks and I can even install for you.
No I will not fall for the "buy a vin search for me" scam, so please don't bother.  Nor will I take a check for $7,000,000 extra and give you the change.  Forget offering me gift cards, ugh I hope I don't seem that dumb.  You get the idea.

Hope you all smiled, now someone buy this thing.

Asking $4,300

The most important thing (and some would say the only thing that matters) on these ads is the selling price.  :o

How much do you want for the bike???

I'm guessing the virus is slowing down interest.  Rest assured, the bike is from a locked down COVID free home.

I thought my price was reasonable, but do you guys think I'm asking too much?  Any offers?

Uncertain times...folks worried about health and income. In normal times you're probably in the ball park price wise. glws

I agree. This year it may be a little harder to sell. Put it up on CL and ebay too.

bikes are moving slow. ( sounds like yours is fast though, ha ha) but....I watch craigslist in oregon and there are more and more for sale, and nothing is selling now, and this is bz season. C19 has people frozen, no one is doing anything, so it may take a will to sell. good luck, seems like a nice ride and and an ok price.

Just sold my 08 with 58k miles for $3,000 on Craigslist.  Lots of activity and a few lowball offers but patience got my asking price.
People are definitely looking and buying right now.

Awesome, thanks for the encouragement.  I had it on Craigslist but nothing came out of it.  I'll renew and see what happens
