Price of engines

(1/4) > >>

Seamus:
Been watching a K2engine on Ebay and am amazed at the bidding so far.  :o

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CB750-SOHC-Engine-chop-chopper-bobber-/230805060232?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item35bd0dba88

I did bid for a while, but this is a bit rich for me. Especially as it does not turn over, so anything could be wrong. Are these now that sought after?

I do have a feeeling that the price is being artificially inflated as there is still a day and a half to go.

Am I still living on the past with regard to prices?

BigAl (Alan):
The K2 and under engines are worth a little more than the K3 onwards (the last K4 engine on ebay had a 'buy it now' price of £300. 
I will agree that the present engine is being 'geeed' along

Hi Guys,
Over here I have seen engines go for 350 to 800 euros depending on seized or not.My k4 cost me 500euro from a guy in Paris who had 4 or 5 from USA with low mileage.He just said pick one.Had a warehouse full of CB450s all for sale.

When you look at the prices of engine spares on the bay I think £300 odd for a complete motor isn't bad. Even if seized hopefully you will be getting decent cases / gears / head etc etc.

I bought a motor not too long ago for £300 but that was a runner

UK Pete:
I agree this engine has shot up in price  quickly , there is usually a frenzi in the last minute, trouble is lots of sellers are shill bidding to get maximum price, saying that you get alot for your money,  it is all there and been k2 will fetch slightly more than later ones
I think its worth £400 max , if you have a k2 rolling chassis and no engine then its a must have
We should be pleased that the value of our sohc bikes and spares is increasing as any of us with many parts and bikes will get a return on our investment , better than what banks will give
Pete
