I've put advs up on about 4 websites, which have since been contemptuously ignored ( Middle Finger Smile Middle Finger ), I've phoned my mates up to try and sell the thing. No such luck.

What the hell am I supposed to do? Crying or Very sad

Wait, like any other person who has an ounce of patience.

Or just stuff it away for the winter period.

? On a different rectangle of driveway?

I swear you're a VDer Laughing

- Write a proper advert?
- Advertise it on forums where you don't have any reputation?
- Put it in Bike Trader, eBay, Ad Trader, Loot, and all the other usual places to advertise a bike.
- Take the pictures of it being broken off your bikepics.com page if you're going to link to that in adverts.
- Fix the bike.

Biketrader at a good price and it'll go quickly. (Good meaning a bit less than anything locally to you that's similar - if you want a quick sell you aren't likely to get a great deal)

I have photos of the bike as it is now.
"Yes it was crashed and smashed two panels, but since I don't have photos of the damage I expect you to pay £600 more"

I'm |-| that close to giving it to CMC yamaha for £600.

I don't want a great deal, I want

A. to afford my RS insurance
B. the NSR to stop blocking the RS's parking space.

it doesnt seem long ago that i read the glowing review of the nsr125 buy this guy when it was the only bike he had ridden. I find it amusing that its been ditched for an rs125 so quickly Smile

The original review even suggested that the nsr125 was just as fast as a rs125 but more reliable Smile

kid, at the very least, u shd put a link to the 4 web site pages so ppl reading this thread can look at it.

its unlikely i'd buy an nsr, but u never know

Free, and I got quite a few responses within a week.

Trade It (renew every 3 days, or you lose it in an issue)

Local offy

eBay on a reserve (or I can bid on it for you for a free reserve price)

etc

I didn't ditch it for an RS125 you twit, that WOULD have been pointless. Confused

Double it and add a bit and I might be interested.
We can discuss the size of "the bit"

I've been offered almost twice that before (note "before". If it was now, i'd have bitten their hand off - but that WAS before the electrical type fault became a problem.

Right Andy,

I have just read your other dumbass thread. If this bike has a 'dodgy earth' as you put it, its worth less than about £400 imo.

If you sell it for £1200 (which it wouldn't be worth anyway) then you are ripping some poor bastard off.

Why do you persist with the notion that the world owes you a living fercreissakes?

I'm going to shut up now before I go into a long rant. Evil or Very Mad

Don't go into a long rant.
How expensive is it to look through the wiring loom and plug a connector back in properly?

It doesn't cost more than £100, which is what I'm knocking off the price solely because I can no longer be bothered to look for it.

A non running nsr125 with over 14k miles, 2001 model as I recall.

Not worth £1200.

Its over 3 years old, so age has no bearing on its value really. Its worth as much as a 1992 NSR with the same mileage, because its the same bike and will be in pretty much the same condition - NSRs have no big issues with corrosion and theres not much to clog up if left standing.

It doesn't work properly, if the problem is an intermittent electrical problem its going to a cunt to fix. Its not worth much at all.

To be honest, I don't know what it is Bendy.
I know it's not the carb or the fuel filter. Sad

Robby's information does bear some reassurance and will help me reduce the price accordingly.
