Which would you choose?

L9 1999 with 13100 miles vs L9 2002 with 18500 miles, otherwise identical, which one would be worth more to you?

the newer one has almost 50% more mileage, so its done a lot more miles per year on average than the slightly older one...i would say the older one is the more valuable, but only slightly, maybe £300-500 more.

Sorry to resurrect this old chestnut, but im trying to gauge a fair price for a mate who also wants a zxr400 (ive already got mine) on the 1999 with 13,100 miles under its belt.

He's seems to have agreed a price somewhere around £1500. Is this a 'fair' deal?
Cosmetically it seems fine aside from a scratch here and there, is completely standard (down to the exhaust), with moderate service history, and the tyres seem to have a fairly decent amount of life left in them.
Two owners, both women.

Ive had a look on ebay but there seems to be too much fluctuation in prices.

Thoughts?

buy it, if its in good condition and needs nothing major doing, thats a good price.

this bike has ridden out its depreciation curve now, so they wont be getting any cheaper. keep it as stock as possible and it will keep its price.
