hi guys. im looking at buying a bike, possibly a bandit 600. i came across these two on ebay.

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/breaking-stunning-suzuki-bandit-600-/280592715844?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4154a11044#ht_808wt_1139

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUZUKI-BANDIT-600-/110616267763?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item19c13e4bf3#ht_758wt_1139

would it be possible to put these two together? how much knoledge is needed to do a project like that? i know nothing of bikes at the moment, but im quite mechanicaly minded. also i think the first one looks stolen. a nice bike like that for £20?? must be a stolen bike. how do i go about checking? or have i missed anything? thanks

For £20 he'll send you a bolt.

I'll send you one for half the price, if you like..? Wink

It's a bit odd/cheeky to put a buy it now on it though, as some people won't think to check and just assume they've got a bargain and click it.

sneeky bastard Very Happy is it possible to fix up a bike like the second one for less money than it would be to buy a second hand bike?

Depends how much it goes for and what needs doing, neither of which we know.
Possible and this time of year is ideal to buy a bike, but generally it's more cost effective to buy a fully working but tatty bike - or a good condition one if that's what you really want.
A lot quicker and cheaper to spend some time browsing for bargains than time and money buying and fitting new parts.
