$1000-$1500 would be more in line. Most ppl don't like customized bikes. Stock bikes with only exhaust and handlebar change bring in the $2-$3k range. Bone stock brings the best pay back on the classics

Are you out of your mind? Try pricing a Cafe bike in Ca. 1500 will get you laughed at.

You chopped the back section of the bike to look like a bobber style. you should have went with a cafe seat for the rear or just kept it stock. Plus suzuki titans don't really have
any real cult following like the kaw h1,h2 etc.

It doesn't matter where you live when you sell a bike, either ppl like it or they don't.

The fact is that bikes sell better on the east coast then the west coast. I am in the motorcycle industry and new york and ohio have the best sales in the country. California is first only to its large population. But when you actually travel thru california,NV,AZ,TX you hardly ever see any bikes on the road. More cars then bikes, travel to the east coast and you see alot more bikes on the road, than out west.Its probably the traffic and heat.

Nightripper, a Suzuki Titan is the T500 two cylinder two stroke. No ram air cylinder cooling. This is not that.

It's a GT550...

Best of luck with the sale, but I suspect you might find narrow appeal for such a custom bike.

Well 1st of all its NOT a Titan as stated and it has an original cafe tail from the 60's on it. Im curious if you even looked at the pics. Thanks for the input.

saw the pics, not bad , but as I said the rear end, you either like it or hate it.

From the pics it looked like a titan, I forgot suzuki even made a 3 cylinder 2 stroke. For your bike you need to find a niche buyer and if you want to see whats its actually worth, check out ebay and see what stock one are going for in excellet condition, then deduct 30%-50& of that value then you can see what yours is actually worth.

As I said before classics are better left completey stock. Example old sportster pre 1970 and triumph bonnievilles.

Pure stock sportsters from 1958-1969 are worth $5000-$10,000.- modify it or chop it then its worth only $1500-$3000.

Triumph bonnevilles 1960-1970 $5000-$8,000- modified or chopped $1500- $3,000

These prices are real world market prices.

Plus your suzuki is a 2 stroke , no one really wants them anymore.

And that makes it more rare than a POS (dime a dozen, kick start only) oil drippin H/D or Triumph, for wich you can find any place. I know what the bike is, what its worth and the market but if its sitting in the garage for no one to see how will it ever be sold or searched for?

the real proof is if anyone buys it for your price, then you can brag all you want.

no one really wants 2 strokes anymore that you have to rebuild the crank and replace the pistons on every 10K-15K and gets terrible gas mileage, not to mention that many of the parts are no longer available.

Old sportsters and brit bikes as well as the honda cb350, cb750, kz900,kz1000 and xs650 all have a following and good resale value due to the #'s that were produced and current part availability.
