Breaking 98 Fazer - Worth doing?

[ElkWorks]

Got a 98 fazer that I spilled on last year, stillruns fine and passed an mot

top fairing is cracked, and genny case is cracked, plugged back tire is only 500 miles old pilot power 2ct, so loads of life left.

How much could I get reasonably for it as broken up?

engine has done 14k and oil changed every 3k, new carb rubbers etc runs like a dream

Difficult to say as depends how generous your pricing is and how fast you want the bits to go for.






I've watched people break bikes on here & it looks like hard work, messages, fiddling about, wrapping, post office etc etc.






What value do you put on your own time & is that worth what you'll get.....only you know that much.




But there's plenty folk will take the bike off your hands as is for a project & that at least means another fazer is
saved.


I mean at a guess you could anywhere up to £800 as is surely, maybe a little more although it isnt uncommon to see non damaged bikes for a grand.






But lets say for example you flog as is for £500 quick sale.


But breaking you make £800






Again is the hours and hours and hours of work worth that extra £300?????

Peanuts. I lost a fortune breaking my bike, don't do it.

Get a few pics up. I wouldn't break it just because of a damaged fairing. It sounds like a good bike from your description.

[Kentish]

Just sell it complete. Id pay £500 for it. breaking aint worth the time effort and constant trips to the post office

[Slaninar]

In my country fixing broken fairings (unless totally smashed) would be rather cheap.


If it's in good condition, couldn't you just fix it and ride it?

[kebab19]

There's nothing you've described above that sounds remotely terminal.
It's true that there's money in *some* parts, but not all - so you'll end up tripping over a cannibalised corpse for months / years.

Sell it as complete, should still get reasonable £££ for it, particularly with a paltry 14000 miles up on it!!!

[ElkWorks]

sounds like you guys have made my mind up for me.

it is rideable, I rode it to work on Monday (70 mile round trip).

I may try fixing the fairings as I still have the bits that broke off....



old photo. ive peeled the black wrap off the back, and put the givi rack back on. since. Oh, and refitted the stock bars and screen.



only photo ive got showing the damage



and when its all cleaned up (pre damage)

[dcurzon]

looks totally fu@ked.  I'll give you £150 for it.  You'll deliver, right?

[wickedmonkey]

keep it and get new genny case and maybe convert it to naked?

[ElkWorks]

Dont need it, bought a drz400 a few weeks back which i have far more fun on, so this has to go one way or another

[ElkWorks]

Took some photos







rusty outer, but no holes



The pipe bodge. not lost a drop including a week in the isle of man last summer



brand new carb rubbers (only done 500 miles or so on these)





15532













if I cant get £800 for it, i'll just restore it and sell it for more.

[Dead Eye]

As long as it runs well, you should be able to get £800 for it - may take a bit though. To expedite matters, you'd probably be looking at £650~
