Bike value help 1999 (USA)

Hoping for some help with value on this bike.  USA 1999 with 40k miles on the clock, 1 owner, garaged it's whole life with extensive service records.  Valve checks done at 16k and 32k.  Good tires. Corbin seat.  Heli bars.  Thanks for the help.

Wow, tough price. Seat, exhaust, heli's & passenger grab handles would be $800.00. "Stock" mid-mileage bike's gotta be worth $2500.00. Nice clean bike, one-owner, never down, diligent maintenance, all value-added points. Methinks somewhere around $3.5k and support a fellow VFR owner already ... :).

+1 on B4V4's point - if the seller is desperate and hasn't gotten any interest, he might take $2500, but having put 40k miles on it, doing the valves on time twice, and the aftermarket add-ons he's chosen all show he really rode it, really knows the bike. If I didn't already have and love a 5th gen. and if I had a few scruples missing, I'd try to snatch it out from under you for $3000. As a reference point, I was happy to pay $3500 for my 5th gen a year ago - it was in very good shape with 32000 miles. The seller had been religious about changing oil and he replaced brake fluid and coolant once a year, but never touched the valves or suspension and the chain was tired - go figure.

At least three mint condition 98-99's with under 25k miles have been available here locally in the past year for $2200-$2800. I almost purchased one but went with a VFR1200 instead.

 

BTW, you'll love the 5th gen....absolutely beautiful machines.
