| It's funny that your FE was registered in 2000. The dealer must have had it sitting in his showroom for nearly 3 years before managing to sell it, as FEs came out in '97-98.
Unfortunately what that shows is late model slab sided SS's didn't sell that well especially when the newly designed updated Terblanche SS appeared.
The problem you're gonna find at the top end of the market is unless you get a buyer like Ali who was specifically looking for a slab sided SS people with 3 grand plus in their pocket can get an updated bike. Your ugly old fashioned early nineties machine simply looks dated in comparison. It's a shame, especially if you're selling. It'll no doubt sell eventually but you may well have to lower your expectations and wait a while.
The other alternative, in an ideal world, would be to keep hold of it for another ten years and then watch it start to appreciate in value. Unlike the later one it's a true classic and will soon come to be recognised as such....
