« on: October 11, 2020, 01:32:20 PM »

I have a 78 cb550 that I want to sell bc I am moving and wanted to get an idea of what you guys think I should sell it for.  Its complete, I have a title but its not registered to myself,  turns over and has good compression

We pay $500 for a bike like that with a title issue. My 74' CB550 had the same title issue but in a little worse condition. It did come with a bunch of new parts So we paid the $500.

Depends on your location. But in the US as long as the title isn't signed by anyone in the buyer location 600 would be fair.
if its signed in buyer and seller spots already 200 to 400.
slow Progress 74 cb550.

78' good compression, turns over, clean title, anything from 550-1k, I'm in Michigan and I usually get the best deals out on the farms or near grand rapids in the 200-500 range, im driving 2 hours one way though. Looks like the bike went down as im looking at pictures so I wouldn't pay more than 300 for it like that in that condition....unless you got it running and showed me it was ok.
