Sell it or break it for spares?

Post by bikenut »

I have a 1995 L5 with 14K on the clock, its a UK model.
Have not ridden it since 2002, its been stuck in the shed since then.

Little bit tatty, faring has a couple of scuffs one side (no cracks), needs a front tyre, battery and the rear caliper rebuilding.

I stripped the carbs and replaced the o rings inside and it was running last year.

Don't really know what to do with it now, i suppose its not worth much as is so i was wondering if its worth stripping and selling all the parts.

Just wanted peoples opinion, thanks.

got any pics?

If its got TAX and MOT then its probably worth selling as is, youll probably get more money in bits but they can take a while to shift and you will always be left with parts that no one wants.

I'll get some pictures up the weekend.

No tax or Mot, it was last on the road in early 2002.

I'm in Bucks, a mile from Junction 5 of the M40.

personally i'd have a go at selling as it is, drop it on ebay with a reserve and see what happens.
