On this side of the pond, dealers either make money on the bike they sell, or they take you to the cleaners on the one you trade in.... that way they can make money when they sell it.
It's a fair bet to say that a dealer is going to take it in for less than you could sell it for as a private party... and that you could sell it yourself for a bit more than they are willing to pay.
A roundabout way of saying I don't know what the market value in England is for an FZ6N.
How slow are motorcycle sales in the UK? What do the local websites list the value of similar motorcycles at? How about the local papers, and dealerships? If the FZ1 is cheaper than you expected, the odds are good that they won't be nice on the trade in.... They're probably getting hammered as much as everyone else......
