HI all....
If you don't know, I crashed my bike on Thursday morning...then passed my test Thursday afternoon
...
dilemma....
I WAS intending to put my bike up for sale the very MINUTE I passed (she is a 2004 Honda CG125)...but she has a bit of damage now.
As I am fairly new to this game...I wanted your advice whether to patch her up...or sell as is ?...
The damage is MINOR..but I don't know if it will be worth my while.
Damage...
dented and scraped chrome trim on headlight;
scuffed left footpeg;
really scuffed clutch;
really scuffed left bar end;
scuffed and slightly dented front of the black instrument casing).
I am hoping to get about £1,400 for the bike...
shall I bother repairing minor scrapes like that ?
Any ideas of parts costs ?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help...

Personally I'd wait until after winter then patch her up. It's not a good time to sell a bike, and since it is your first winter I think a CG would be a better option to get the hang of winter riding. You'd hate it if you fell off again, you'd hate it even more if you sold her patched up/as is then bought a new bike and fell off that.

Theres no harm in advertising it free in some places, if it sells for how much you want then excellent, if it doesn't then wait a few months.
But yeah, just don't get a big bike at this time of year. Buy it, yes, as they're cheap, but don't ride. even though I do. and I only passed my test a week ago. And I'm riding it every day
