Surely option 3 isn't even an option, I thought you were unemployed, skint and getting chased by the government for thousands of pounds?

Therefore the answer would be 'whichever makes you the most money'.

If you need the money soon, then sell it complete as it is. If you can take a bit of time about it, then break it for parts as you should get more than way. Trackbike it if you've got the money for that and a way of then getting it to tracks...

ei!

However parts from ebay required would cost £300

From a nice payout its hardley a dent!

Breaking will make money, however I have nowhere to store the bike while this takes place! If I stick new forks on the bike, at least I can move it!

£300 perhaps better spent paying the fines that have the baliffs threatening at your door?

Keep it as is, list the parts and remove them in order to ship them.

Don't list the frame etc until last.

Put pickup only on the listings for the engine etc.

This should give you a steady stream of income whilst not having to keep it in a lockup. Keep it under a bike cover until done.

Simple innit?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

The bike is being kept at my mums under a hedge atm! I am getting hassel from her and her other half to get it moved as its making the garden a mess appartnley????

So when it paid for It needs to go! I either get it to my flat and leave it in the ally behind my gaff, then strip sell. Or sell as comlplete or fix up then stick in garden and tell neighbour to go shaft himself!

I beleive the photos will help show its condition for users on here to carefully make a consideration towards the purhcase of your motorcycle.

It is also important for people to establish what category write off the bike actually is

I.E is it CAT D or C?

Disclaimer: YOU KNOW YOU CANNOT PUT CAT B OR A BACK ON THE ROAD


Plenty of pics on here of it! its on ebay now for offers for full/parts

Was not planing on putting back on the rd as it as been repaired too many times and the top of the frame is damaged!

hence track only!

its mainly cosmetics.
