HI All

I am planning to buy a 2011 660z 2nd hand with 22000k's on the clock. The bike is in excellent condition (only about 500k's on dirt, rest is commuting)

Extras include: Crash bars, Flying brick soft luggage U-shape 65L, Spots, and rear luggage plate.

What would be the going rate for a bike like this?
 

I would say about R65 000...... but that is just me  :P

Fair price upwards..... towards  R70 000

Does anybody know what the average price is for a standard service of a 2011 yamaha xt660z in the Cape Town area?

Also which dealership(s) is known to give the best client and bike service?

What are the kilo's on your bike.

I only know of Helderberg Yamaha. Have never heard of any complaints.

Does not matter. You could have posted in the Yamaha board and maybe get more views http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?board=107.0

Do you know if the steering head bearings and cush-rubbers have been replaced yet. Usually goes at around 15 000km's.

Have the steering head bearings cleaned and ghries-ed at every service in any case. Ekstra 1 1/2 hours labour but worth it.

For six years not one post on this thread... These Yamaha 660s must be quite reliable?

How does this look for a 11 year old thumper? (I also posted the same photo on my introduction thread)
