Laid over R6, partout or rebuild

[Sphore]

(disclaimer: if this is the wrong forum, please move or redirect me. i sat and stared at all the choices for way too long w/o a clear sense of which was best. not selling or buying, just looking for advice)


I have a laidover low mileage '03 R6 in my garage that I need to shit or get off the pot with. Damage is moderate but mostly cosmetic. Frame is straight, title is clean. ~3000 miles.

Things i know need replaced : rear subframe, upper left cowling, headlight assembly, gas tank, gauge bracket, and a handful of little things here and there. I estimated $1500-$2500. Clearly wildly estimated.

I also estimate that the bike is worth about $5k before, and there's probably, lets say for convenience sake, $2500 worth of value in the parts remaining.

That puts me in no clear direction to lean in a decision on whether to part-in or part-out. I'm all ears for input, suggestions, etc.

Thank you

Damm I just purchased a battery...How much for the battery and frame sliders?

- Nevermind just looked over your post and see your not parting out GL putting it back together. Let me know if you change your mind.

sell it to me for 1500 as a track bike

Put it on craigslist with some crazy description, "wrecked by nicky haden" and I bet you could get 5k

I'll try to remember, if I chose that route. Simply looking for wise advisement at this time though

Really depends on what you want to do for a bike, what you owe on it, and how much more money you're willing to spend.

You could probably get $3k+ for the parts if you parted it out, or spend another $1500 or so putting it back to rideable condition. (Depending on your ebay luck, and what you want to do, streetfighter for example)

Personally, I would part that out and by a different bike, but that's just me.

If you do part it out, I'd probably be interested in the frame.

Don't you have anything better to do then to spend $$ and time? School? Kids? Friends? Girls? Boys? Playing checkers?

It's a good project bike. You'll probably mike a little $$..

If this were me I'd part it out, I just have too many other things I'd rather be doing.

OR....

Get another R6 for the track and use this one for parts.
