Hi Will, welcome to the forum  ;), if your not sure how much your bike is worth why not have a look in some of the classic bike magazines for sale section and maybe some websites with bikes for sale,

may help you gauge the condition of your bike compared to others and give you an idea what yours is worth ?, good luck cheers Mick.

Hi Mick, cheers the welcome fella. Yea will give that a go, had a little look last night but only found a fully restored one on the car and classic website. Looks like a litte trip to the newsagents is in order. Need to get this insured before the weekend ha!

Hi everyone,

My names Will, I'm from Sheffield. I've just recently bought a 1977 CB550F. Its the first classic bike I've owned which I'm hoping to tinker with and learn a lot more about how to maintain and work on bikes. I've only been riding for 2 years, my first bike was a Derbi Senda 125 and then after passing my test last year i bought a Yamaha Thundercat.

I'm looking forward to this weekend so I can get my first proper ride on the old girl. Literally can't wait!!

Hopefully I'll get to know some of you guys and learn lots off you all too. I'm already overwhelmed by the help in the tricks and tips section. I can see it all being very helpful.

Cheers
Will

Yea I understand what you are saying Steve, I've done that with my other bikes that I have owned in the past. However I won this bike on ebay and the guy I bought it off said I got a real bargain and said it was worth a lot more. If the bike was ever stolen, the idea of insurance is to claim back the amount it would cost to replace the bike, like for like, rather than recoup the original cost. I doubt I would be able to buy the same bike at the same price again, hence asking for a rough valuation. Like I said, I appreciate what you are saying as that is what I have done in the past.
Cheers
Will

Hello all,

This is my first time posting...Hi! I've recently bought a 1977 CB550F with 30,000 miles on the clock. I'm not sure how much it is worth when it comes to filling in the insurance forms and wondered if anyone can help? I'll post some pics of it so you can see the general condition. This is my first classic bike that i have owned.
