I have a red 1991 Honda Night Hawk 250 it has 10,000 miles on it and it runs great. How much is it worth?
Please give me a price around about what it’s worth. Also I live in Tennessee, that might have something to do with it’s value. Thanks for your time.
I would say around $900 if there are no major cosmetic flaws, the sprocket and chain do not need replacing, the fork seals look good and there are no mechanical problems.
If the bike has not been “kept up” despite the fact that it runs well then the price will be lower. Things to look for are if the fork seals need to be replaced (i.e. popped, cracked, very old, ect) as well as the tires meaning they treads are worn down and/or they are older than 3 years. The sprocket and chain should be in very good condition with only 10,000 miles but if it was not taken care of….. The brake lines should be intact with no cracking or creasing and the brake fluid as well as the pads should not be more than a 2-3 years old regardless of the milage. There should be little to no rust on the bike. Marring or scratches on the tips of the handle bars is ok but not anywhere else. The clutch should be tight and responsive as well as the shifter pedal. Scratched up pipes and dented scratched gas tanks are a big no-no and the gas tank especially can be expensive to repair. There should be no rust inside the gas tank at all, even on the cap. It should cold start, meaning it has not been warmed up or run in the past 8 hours or so, quickly and without issue. Obviously check the oil.
If none of the above are an issue but cosmetically it shows its age I would go with the original $900. If it needs new fork seals, new tires, has a dented gas tank and a damaged shift pedal I would go down as low as $200.
If it has no mechanical problems but has cosmetic ones, looks like its spent 15 years in someones garage, needs new seat, ect, I would think $6-900 depending on the extent of the damage.
If its in especially nice condition and looks very near like a new bike and has had the tires replaced in the last six months then I think you could get as much as $1200. To get this much it should look fantastic. This is rare in older low end bikes and I really doubt its the case.
