Guide prices wanted if possible

[Graemer57]

Am looking to by a Paso, something with a bit of character to complement my bulletproof touring BWM R1200RT. so I have been keeping an eye on eBay and any other sites that come up when searching. Have two questions:

1) I know it will depend on condition, mileage etc etc but am seeing some wildly disparate prices being quoted. Can anyone give an price indication (or price range) that would be sensible money to pay for bikes below in ok, acceptable condition..not concours or a dog

750

906

907ie

2) Apart from Yakaz, MCN and eBay are there any other sites you can recommend where Pasos are likely to come up for sale

Thanks
Graeme

it depends where you live... here in Aus they're more expensive, US and GB they're much cheaper

In the US the 750 goes for between 1000 and 2500
The 906 between 1500 and 3000
the 907 between 2000 and 4500
If the bike is low mileage,runs and is original it will go towards the higher end.
Now every one that has one asks for 4500,only the 907 with less than 10,000 miles goes for anywhere near 4500.
The 750 sport will go for more

A member of this site is selling this,

You might find cheaper but you probably wont find better from its history and from what I can see in the pics.

Do some research and you'll find that a 907 is the best of the series with a lot of important advances over the rest of the Paso's. 17" wheels, fuel injection, and 4 pot brakes being the main differences.
Cheers, Keith.

Let the debate begin

It may be the most modern but THAT DON'T MAKE IT THE BEST

Pasoprices are rising for sure

750 - a good one £750 upwards
906 - about the same as a 750 perhaps 10% premium
907 - £1800 upwards for a runner

there are some 907's that have gone at auction for well over £3000 - some are worth that with very low mileage and good history - others must have had some truly myopic bidders !

The most important thing when looking for one is get the most complete one you can and buy from an enthusiast where you can see how it has been cared for - in my opinion - with these bikes, buying a bike from a passionate - knowledgeable owner is more importnat than years of service history.

My 907 had years of service historty and receipts but was serviced by muppets and so had some real hidden gremlins mechanically

Thanks for the info everyone.

I was looking to buy a '77-'83 BMW R100RS (I just love them, have had 3 over the years and to my eye they just ''work') but have now decided to look for a Paso instead. All my friends think I am mad...let them think that... they have all, without exception, come to biking late and while I can understand their obsession with reliability and their desire for performance they just dont understand the value of 'character'. I've tried to explain that some bike can have 'soul' but just get accused of having one beer to many...

Ony trouble is I need to save a bit more dough than I have put aside for an old Beemer. Still it gives me more time to come here and learn about things :-)

Personally I think I'd be tempted to get a 750 due to how cheap they are as I don't think you can fail to have an appreciating asset there (as much as you ever can with a vehicle) - 907's seem to go for silly money.

Incidnetally when I said a "runner" above for 1800 I meant a good runner. There was a 907 for sale though from this very parish in Leicester I think - not sure if its still available or the one mentioned earlier in this post.

Much like BMW's if looked after they will run for quite a while but a good one will have had most of the factory based muppetry worked out of it by now by a caring owner or two.

I would go for a 907. 1991 or 1992. '92's are the finest.
no fuzz with finding tires and faerly bullitproof when she gets proper maintenance.
in Holland a Paso 750 will do € 750 to € 2000
Paso 906 does € 1000 to € 2500
907 € 1000 to € 3500

as you see they're not very expensive.
maybe importing one is an option. ( I've bought mine in Germany on Ebay in 2005 for € 1800. technical very good, looks where bad)
I faced no problems getting it titled.

Importing should be no issue as the last ones that the official importer brought into the UK where italian market bikes anyway so had KMH clocks and wrong way dip lights (mine still has)
