2002 SUPERHAWK with 14,000 miles

ta2av · Post by **ta2av** » Fri May 12, 2006 3:25 pm

I have found a 2002 SH locally with 14,000 miles on it and he wants $5300. Is that a fair price and do I need to worry about the high milage? Also when I go to look at it, what are some things I should check out on it besides the usual. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Is the CCT something that I will need to change soon? I keep reading on here that it goes bad on most bikes and that when it goes it might do alot more damage.

Welcome aboard Ta2av

Apart from the usual things to look out for on the purchase of any secondhand bike there's not really that many things that do go wrong with the Firestorm

You already mentioned the CCT's, if you've not done so do a 'search' (near top of page) as there's loads of info on them

HTH,

Chris.

PS. Where abouts are you in the world

I am in Illinois, USA. Do not see many of these bikes around here, so not much local information on these bikes. Thanks for the help so for.

Now I know which country you're in I can workout what you will be paying in English pounds

5,300.00 USD United States Dollars = 2,803.04 GBP United Kingdom Pounds

Have a look at this link for UK prices:-

I can't say how secondhand prices go in the USA but perhaps you can find on-line a price guide as I gave you

I would say that if the bike has got a full service history that would be the sort of thing I would like, unless of course you know the bike and how it's been looked after or not as the case may be

Good luck with it

Chris.

Average retail for a '02 SH in the Chicago area is $4035.00 usd. High retail is $5310.00 usd.

By the way....Greetings from Houston, TX. I just bought a '98 SH with 21k on the odometer. Decided to move further up into the 20th century from the '89 FJ1200 I was riding.
