Bike depreciation depends on a few things.

Sometimes the new model completely obsoletes the old one. Summore got CKD. Then the old one immediately depreciate like hell.

Case in point, the Z800. The second Z900 came out in CKD, second hand z800 prices dropped like a stone. Now it's super cheap.

In the case of Ducati, just before the timing belt change... value drops like hell. LOL. So if you find a cheap-ish Ducati, this is the first thing to ask.

If depreciation bothers you, buy a 3-5 year old big bike from a weekend hero biker who racks up very little mileage. By the time you sell it on years later, you will have lost very little.

Tip: Many guys buy big bikes on impulse, then 2 years later cannot pay hutang and are forced to sell. Nice bargains to be had here. But beware... some of these idiots lari hutang and sell the bike secara haramjadah (JT), some try sell the bike secara 'sambung bayar'. Steer clear, unless you also the haramjadah type willing to gamble.

cos the dealers like to 'carry' y brand...
make y have good resale value...
this started frm the 80s...

covid year, more n more mt07 mt09 tracer up for sale.

Hi All,

I'm planning to get a used 600cc , saw few of these models.
found this is around rm38k with mileage less than 35k.
probably year 2012-2013 model.

any experienced rider can give suggestions on what to look for when checking out the bike.
or anyone that are well experience on bikes like these, don't mind to pm me your contact, and assist me on the examination.

I recently tried to buy a z250 from a private seller. The seller did inform me he got it 2nd hand. Just so happens that the bike he was selling was one i had my eye ons ( Seller bought it 2nd hand from a shop and if i bought it I would be 3rd owner). The shop selling price was RM8500 and he was trying to sell it for RM8700, when i asked him about this he said that it was because he gotten new tires, chain and other maintenance parts for the bike. But as the seller trying to sell it as 3rd hand shouldn't it go for cheaper because of how many people the bike has been through? Can anyone share their thoughts and opinions on this? Is Malaysia's private motorcycle sales market really just " harga ikut hati"?

What's the secondhand market value for this bike currently? And what's the condition? Service record?

Market value is about 10k-13k, condition was good and not sure of service records but said to be good. i understand its below market value, but I'm curious, shouldn't third hand become cheaper? OR did i miss a steal hahah

you missed a steal bro. 2nd hand 3rd hand 4th hand doesn't bring down the price. It is all about market pricing. If 1st owner bought and didn't use (maybe put number plate), does it make the bike less valuable? In the end the bike condition is the main factor, not the number of past owners I guess.
