Mood: I've bought a 900SL!
No prices probably offered as it not a hard and fast rule. I.e if the dealer aint interested they'll offer the bare minimum which isnt likely to be what the bikes value is (to a buying punter)
Just had a quick skeg on ebay and theres too little 749 activity to get a clue. Bike Trader only has one dark on it at £5600 private with bits.
BikeMart has a few more but they also have some new unsold '04 749s at arround £6500. Therefore resale of an 04 is never going to be higher than the a higher spec bike new unless you've got a captive audience where demand outstrips supply. Also just spotted a dealer sale 749(again not a dark) 04 4kish miles at £5.5ish
Easy guess sale value is somewhere between £5K and £5.5 dependant on location and demand, trade may be lower again.

Apols for going on, but its not easy selling without doing some research 1st. You have to be realistic and buying price usually has nowt to do with re-sale unfortunatelty.
