Break my bike rather than sell it???

Oh no! On that basis it's a no-brainer but it all depends on getting £5k for engine and frame alone, is that realistic you reckon?

 

Ask Mark, he may even be able to do a deal on the fast moving stuff.

 

The prices I quoted weren't all top dollar either and were a few quid adrift from Mark's retail prices. When you add it all up it's amazing the money thats tied up in a bike.

 

Theres probably £600 right there!

 

2500 for the engine sound bit dreamer

 

Have to agree with this comment by derchef, if there is a high demand for the parts then the price goes up but there is no shortage of fireblades being broken. I am fortunate enough to own 2 Yamaha RD500 Lc's now there is a demand outstripping supply, can't imagine what they would bring in £££ if broken for parts.

 

Only person guna give £2.5K for a 'clean' Frame is someone whose gota nicked one to shift.

New frame from Honda is around a Grand I reckon

 

Just checked and they're £1800 before discount so should easily get a brand new frame for £1300

 

Ok, was just going by the prices on Yorkshire Gooner site. Trying to help thats all!

 

Does that include registration and V5? Someone must be buying them as he's sold a few.

 

Eta. ^^^ beat me to it! ^^^

Slightly off topic, but can you just buy a frame from honda and build a bike up around it?

I'm guessing it's not that simple as it'll have to be registered and get a certificate of conformity etc? I presume therefore that registered frames with a v5 may be worth more than a bare new frame from Honda..... Especially if you smash or bend yours on track and you'd like a new frame to get it on the road again.

 

in a word,no.

i've broke a few,and daz has broke loads,you'd not get anywhere nr that generally.

 

@Daznorthwest and @yorkshiregooner will give you a realistic price on frames and engines. Daz seems to break bikes weekly xD
