Err, you've got a lot to learn, lad. £350 worth of nothing there really. Both are non runners, one doesn't even have a V5. They aren't even the same bike so you can't even make one good one and sell the spares. NC24 parts are like rocking horse shit, and NC24's in general are too, without the rocking horse part.

£350 for a non runner ZXR400 could be a good deal, but you might have to spend £700 on a new engine, which would take you up to the price you might have spent on a tatty runner.

Also, the fact that he's selling both as a job lot rings huge alarm bells to me. I've never seen anything like that before with two different non runners. I've seen two near identical non runners sold so you can make a good one as I said above, but that sounds rather dodgy to me.

You're better off out of it TBH.

Breaking them for parts will net you more than £350.

Ahh. An instant garage full of non-running old crap for only £350.

It's a damned site less than what I've payed over the course of the last few years to obtain a garage rammed full of non-running old crap.

Save someone a lot of time and effort that will.

So, part them out? No V5, no problem.

i picked up an 08 bandit 650 with 4500 miles in show room condition last week for £2000 now thats a bargain! i was just about to go and view a 03 hornet 600 with 34000 miles for the same price when i had one final look around, i spotted the bandit and picked it up that night from rotheram and when i was there his phone was on fire but luckily i saw it just as he listed it and i had the cash waiting, so now shes all mine Wink ive been looking ever since at bandits and ive not seen anything in the same condition with them miles under around £3000
