In Europe, you could sell that thing for $6500 easily 😂
It's not fair!

@@ChaosCauses So true, DRZ400SM are selling for 6500 in my country. And they are 2003 models! 20 years old!
hmmm, easily??? Don't think so; on autoscout24 Europe there is 1 zero mileage 2020 FS 450 for sale for 9250 euro so a 2018 FS 450 with more hours, would go for a lot less... Some SM 450's on the site sell for 2500,3000,4000,...
I've always found putting a bike back to stock and parting out accessories yields the greatest returns on reselling.

Yup. Aftermarket Parts don't add value and I'm willing to die on that hill.
115% agree with this. Aftermarket park doesn’t add reliability. It only tune it to the owner liking. Hence why you should never pay extra for modified part
I did that to my ktm I sold last week, the dealership gave me a extra £200 for taking it back to stock 😂
Absolutely... sellers often price their mods at near retail and most buyers don't value them at all... but I don't think he's done much to the bike so that shouldn't be too much of an issue for him.
I think the biggest issue he has is it's not street legal (which he mentioned).
The biggest problem is that (at least in my country) if it is not registered it cannot be carried on the street and that is why the registered ones are sold for the same or more price, and thats why yours cost more to sell.
That is so true, here in Finnland registered supermotos price are insane. Just sold 1 week ago my 2005 ktm exc 525 for 5000€. And 2008 KTM 125 EXC are still in 6000-8000 with over 1 000 hours on them. If it's not registered its worth of nothing like 1800€ to 3800€ and plenty of use marks.
You can’t even legally reg fs450’s in sweden. Exc’s or FE450’s can. But not FS.
Easily registered in U.K.
as for the hours unplug the fuckin meter 🤦🏻
@@joski9030 He does :D
This is the way it is in Canada. We can't even make our own supermotos from dirtbikes, it must be at the very least converted from a dual sport since they have an on road registration
If I saw an FS450 for sale near me for $3800, I would buy it without a second thought. I'm in the states and could make it street legal pretty easily so it would live the rest of its life as my wheelie machine.
That being said though, it is weirdly hard to sell sumo converted dirt bikes stateside as well. Way too many people would rather have a heavily used, oil leaking DRZ for $5-6k rather than a cleaner, lower mileage WR or CRF 450 (despite reliably making literally double the horse power and weighing 80 lbs less) for the same money. I think people get scared away by the maintenance intervals in the manuals, while in reality you can easily triple or quadruple the intervals safely for a bike serving road duty.
What are your local steps to make it street legal? Go through those steps add any cost to plate it to your base price. It will broaden the customer pool alot.
this in south africa and all i can say is good luck
@@adrianeng2084 it may be a big effort but low cost kinda thing.
@The Old Husky Then say "Hello" to Germany 🤣
@adrian eng cops barely stop bikes here, what are you talking about. Just the other day i got pulled over because the cops wanted to check my bike out and talk about motorcycles. Fk out of here
I’d keep riding it man if people only want to give you so much then ride it until it’s only worth that much. You wanted to wheelie and this bikes crashes better then any other street bike put some protection on it and keep ripping the track man! I’ll watch it anyways 😊
They don’t want to ride it, for the same reason he doesn’t want to ride it, and they don’t already have money tied up in it like he does, so why let his problems be your problems ? And pay for those problems ?
Having owned a couple off supermoto's based on a Husqvarna, I always started with the enduro version. They sold like hot cakes because you could ride them on the street. I even did some commuting on them. Fun to ride to work this way.
With the way our Rand is going... It's best to just ride it until the whees fall off 😂
As a novice Supermoto rider I think you should keep it! Try to learn a bit more about this awesome riding style and technique. You will be amazed by how much it can improve your overall riding as a motorcycle rider, and how much fun it is to chuck it hard a corner or just hoon in the straights. Keep enjoying this great beast of a bike and, keep producing high quality content 🔥
my guess is because its not street legal is why its not selling. nothing wrong with a track bike, but in my opinion the biggest draws of a super moto is going out on the street with friends hooning around. as far as hours,there's many people who have gotten 500+ hours with nothing more than regular maintenance.
In my experience a to good to be true price also raises flag. Had a bike up for sale cheaper than most because i had my eye on another, raised the price to the regular level and it was sold in a week.
People work in strange ways.
I can relate to this, in a way.
Last summer, I traded my 2004 Yamaha R6 for a 2004 KTM 450SMR. The R6 was my first bike, was in very good condition for its age, and came with a spare parts engine. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I took the 450 on the track ONCE, and something started going wrong with the engine. I found a local mechanic, dropped it off, and was told a few days later that the clutch is completely shot and needs to be replaced, and that the crank bearings are shot as well. So, I traded my perfectly good R6 for a 450 that now needs $1,500 to $2,000 worth of work done to it between parts and labor. I ended up selling it. I've been given a $1,000 deposit and the other $800 will be given when he takes possession of the bike.
I really want to fix it and ride it, because I have a lot of small tracks where Supermotos are the perfect machine, but I don't have the money to repair the bike, and actually afford track days this season... So, I made the choice to sell it and I'll ride my track bike, a 2014 Ninja 300 instead (which is still an excellent bike). It hurts though because now I don't have anything to ride on the street either, having traded my R6. The 450 is street legal and could've been used for some street riding too had I wanted to. Live and learn, I guess.
You are an idiot. KTM . Why would you do that?
This is normal. Its super important to have all the receipts or services recorded for these bikes. I see you went in blind to supermotolife. IMO its still worth it.
Put a light set on it and street ride it! I converted my KTM 450 SMR with lights, wiring harness, flywheel and cover, plastics, all KTM parts and it was licensed for the street. The most fun bike for the street you can have!
Keep it, I personally would love to see more Supermoto Content (exploring-,stunt-, upgrading-, content is awesome) Consider watching Backpack wheelieboyz as Inspiration!
If you like the bike, keep it. We enjoy the content regardless, and it's interesting to see how you progress with owning it.
Cool honest vid, kudos to you bud!
I love seeing people puzzled over the zar, makes me haha hehe out loud
Perks of having a strange currency!
I built a 450 RL Super Moto around lockdown for something to do. Rode it around for a few years and decided to sell it this winter with about 3,000 miles on the clock. Took me about a week to sell it. The key is to keep every part you took off and send all that down the road with the bike. Also understand the bike isn’t “worth” more because you made it a Sumo.
I want it, I just can't buy it😂
Keep it boet. Just keep at the track riding, you can only refine your riding skills. and youv'e made some awesome content with it. respect on all your videos!
If you offered another set of wheels with dirt tires would that open your buyer's usability to facilitate a quicker sale? Like a Swiss army knife of motorbike? Use it here, use it there... You can use it anywhere!
Try taking the 847 numbers off. A blank canvas might be more appealing.
I wanted a fully built super moto in the UK but decided to go for the KTM 690 smcr due to the worry of service times and reliability. For what I mainly ride it for I have piece of mind that when I head for the twisties and pop the clutch I know it's getting me home afterwards. There will be a buyer for it but maybe try to enjoy it while you still have it
in poland theres few motorbike mechanics everyone tells you to work on your bike or bring it to a car mechanic
It's so easy to do though. Need very minimal amount of tools and little space
You hit the nail on the head with how niche these machines are. I also have a 2017 FS 450 and I absolutely love it coming from 4+ years of racing mini moto. The FS 450 seems to even confused the standard, street legal supermoto crowd; For example they're completely perplexed by a 16.5" front tire and that it's supposed to have a new piston every 60hrs. You could make an FS 450 street legal, but why with an engine that is so expensive and high strung? For me, it's also an expensive toy that I also use for track coaching, so I guess the best thing to do with an FS 450 is to make sure it's a business expense lol.
My mum says I'm a great mechanic, so it must be true.🤣
That’s why I love street legal 2 strokes.
In the uk every rider that races supermoto do a full rebuild at 50h it would struggle to sell because it has only a piston on the service history
In Puerto Rico. There is no problem selling motorcycles. It’s a huge thing here. With limited supplies. Prices are healthy here.
Yeeaaay a GIVEAWAY video!!!! Yessss love those.
I sold a 2014 KTM 125SX with a new top end but making questionable noises when revved, for $3900 the cheapest 2017 KTM 450 near me was $5000 which I almost bought but ended up with a 2018 CRF250R instead. The fact that you couldn’t sell that for $3800, I would just keep it and rider it forever.
Once I was selling a bike for 2 years. It was big 1800cc cruiser with 360kg. I got literally 2 calls in 2 years. So I was happy to go down with the price :D
Love this vid .. I total can relate to everything your saying and have a very similar experience myself ..
I feel this exact feeling with my 2020 DRZ 400 SM
If you can get it to the track often enough, keep it but don't give it away lol! Super nice bike.
"I almost got my knee down once" made me laugh. I feel that and if it was a road legal bike in my country id buy it for 4k for sure and sell my current bike.
Its a really cook bike but the specific use case really limits it. I'd say keep it for now, do some two-wheel karting and when someone makes a good offer you can let it go!
Your channel is the best.
In the UK it would sell in half an hour at that price, problem for you is there just isn't much of a supermoto scene in south Africa
keep it man!!!
Most 400cc supermotos I see are on sale for roughly for around $5k-$6k. Idk how much of them actually gets sold for that much. I think you're right that it's the practicality of it...
wake up babe, chaoscauses video!!
Can confirm. Have a set of sm wheels for a WR450 collecting dust. Had to convert the WR back to an enduro to unload it. Buyer wanted nothing to do with the sm wheel set
I got myself a 155cc pitbike with slicks for track riding, 2nd hand with 30 hours on the clock and I would not think of selling it. I will be riding it, breaking it and repairing it until the repairs get more expensive than buying a new one. Sure it is a pricey toy, but the fun you get out of it outweights the fear of putting more hours into to it sell it. I see it as an escape once or twice a month to do something different than just riding in the street to and back to work and the occasional mountain route. Yours is a keeper.
Looks like a nice, fun bike. Maybe add some lights & whatever needed to make road legal, including road tires, and keep it for fun local trips & as a backup for when you're main road bike is out of action? Or simpler: just keep tracking it!
It's got a 16.5" front wheel which makes you only able to get track wheels. And it's not street legal which is probably why. In the US you could easily retitle it. So it comes down to location
It took over a year for me to sell my husky tc-610 in the states.
My local repair shop, won't work on Huskies
I have the exact same problem with my Husqvarna FC350 2019. It's been listed for over 6 months now and no one wants to buy it.
LMAO, you mentioned Raid Shadow Legends and I auto skipped forward, only to reverse back when I didn't see a massive click hump to see you were joking.
The other guy you bought it from, might have thought.. "Oh finally someone bought it"
you should try to make it street legal, its mad fun on the road maybe better than on the track
In germany every 2nd teenager wanted to ride a supermoto. Awesome prices here for these bikes.
Nobody wants a 450. Everybody wants a 125 or a 701
Market and timing...Starring at a 2022 FX450 sitting on a stand in my living room
Dude. If that bike was for sale for that price in finland, you'd have people racing each other to buy the thing off of you.
in canada it would cost around 10k to buy that thing
bruh...in America, you could sell that bike for 12 grand EASY💀
If you still have this bike, couldn't you use it to make a video (series) on how to make a supermoto street legal, this would add to it's functionality making it less of a "toy".
How much would that be in €?
And in which country is this bike located?
Ride it bro!
Absolutely, 💯 percent keep it.
Just found the same model for sale in denmark for about 25k$ 😂
keep it and ride it on the track!
Got a mate in the western cape willing to buy it asap 🌟 let me know 👌🏽
south african zar, bought a couple cars and quads from SA. Picked up an 05 Blaster 200 for 700 euro there. The same quad i sold for 2.1k back in ireland
I've heard of Rand, thank you very much.
Keep ittt!!!
I had a Husky FC350 with 80hrs. it was beautiful and meticulously maintained but no one would buy it for a reasonable price. I was getting offers 2k under listing (listing being 6700CAD) in 2022
where are you located?
In Japan, 6000 with this condition of the bike is a bargain. Wish I could ride it home lol
Ride it dude, you only live once. Gooi!!!!!!
You will make more than $3,800 worth of content with it, there might not be high demand for a SuperMoto, but trust and believe there is high demand for SuperMoto content
When I buy a bike. I usually plan never to sell it. It helps to reduce the mental anguish in those moments after I have dropped it….
That is a sweet looking bike. Good luck with the sale of it. If that bike was for sale in the US, that would be sold extremely fast.
I ride my supermotor every day to work even in Winter
The problem is it’s a Husky. 2017 in Husky is 1997 in Japanese. No one wants to deal with that headache.
How much less do you get in South Africa if you trade it in at a dealership?
I think you should always do what you want to do! When it comes to toys, i consider the money spent, not invested!
Sure, it would be smart to maybe buy a supermoto that could also be registered for road use, more potential buyers, more potential fun. Use as Sm / dirtbike / enduro / roadbike.
I ve got the “16, bought for 6k but with accessories on and 20h
I had a problem trying to sell a yamaha xt660x, endup up getting titanium arrow silencers for it and also installed a stunt cage, rear subcage and then someone stole it
It looks great in my shed.
trying to sell my zxr 400 is also a niche market........ its 31 years old, im right on the new border of londons new ULEZ expansion and a 400cc pocket rocket is a toy :( plus everyones bills have gone up so even looking for a new bike im seeing crazy price drops...... buyers market unfortunately
Honestly, the issue is the incoming recession 😂
Yep think so too, and not road legal
After building bikes seeing these prices amazes me. I have 4 times this amount in my mini bike motor alone
@Chaos Causes I would say keep it and maybe convert it into a street legal supermoto if that’s possible. Or just do fun stuff with it like jim_Khama or occasional track days. Either way, I would enjoy any video you create with this bike.
Street legality also plays a big role here in Europe
The FE 450 could be (relatively) road legal, the FS goes for way less, despite pretty much having the same parts
In the UK you would need to register it with dvla,fit a numberplate, horn and a speedo and then mot it. That's all.
I got the same problem with my Suzuki GSX650F , the best bike for daily rider that i owned. But in my Country (Germany) this bike is non polular to the young riders. I stuck with it for now 3 months. I will not sell it for a low ass price because it is not worth it for what the bike can do.
my 08 r1 has been for sale for nearly a year only offer I had to ask to get was 2800
That's the price i would sell my street legal 125 2 stroke supermoto here in europe. Cant belive no one wants it for that cheap
Wtf!!! In Norway they go fore $11000 and up
20% inflation has been a shock to everyone, it's really hard to price things at the moment.
Reason: it's not lawnmower season, good luck selling that husky
I want to learn to super moto so you should keep it so I can watch
It's a shame, I really wanted it. In Taiwan this price is very good value.
But the shipping cost to Taiwan is also very expensive, I'm afraid.
Taiwan's racing regulations are also unable to use in general roads (general roads must have directional lights brake lights rear mirror)
The high cost of an engine rebuild, short service intervals and the risk that the motor has been rebuilt poorly kill the prices . Also people want the latest, greatest for competition. My 2017 Husqvarna FC350 MX bike lost more than half its value in 2 years with much less use than yours . It was PAINFUL selling it .
i take it 😂😂
If I could get it for that price in my country I’ll pick it up today 😂
I bet if you put a kit on it to make it easier to put a plate on it, it would be easier to sell. Indicators, plate mount/break light, mirrors, and a high and low beam.
I'l take your supermoto ! .... I am joking of course. Beautiful bike!! Already have my A1 license (125cc) and going to have my A2 license in a bit :)
Sounds like you're ready for a 450 lol!
@@ChaosCauses thank you, love your videos! I have been saving for a suzuki gs500, wich is a really cheap motorcycle, but a good ons from the reviews I watched. Really excited to start riding a higher cc motorcycle!
Just swap the wheels with 18" and 21" rims and ride it off road , riding off road can teach you a lot of stuff. It's too much fun and you take it on trails also.
I understand it's expensive to maintain, but off-road it's worth the fun.
