Busted Fazer - what are my options?

[Farjo]

FZS600 2003, ~75k miles, various dints and scratches to match the miles.

Long story short, 2 of the exhaust studs have snapped. A kind mechanic from York Suzuki rode to my place to take a look and says that because of the position of the studs (i.e behind the frame) it would be costly to fix as the engine will have to be removed to get at them - he said he wouldn't quote for the job as he felt the bike wasn't worth the money.

And to be fair, because I have no garage and the bike is kept under a cover, it has deteriorated over the past couple of years, and from a quick gander the front forks will certainly need replacing. This is on top of a new exhaust system. So all in all repair will cost more than the value of the bike.

So what are my options here? I think they are:

Try and sell it, pick-up only - can't imagine getting much for it.

Sell it for scrap to a broker - again can't imagine getting much.

Breaking it myself - a bit of hastle, but educational. Not sure what I would do with the shell (i.e. wheels, frame and engine) when finished.


Any (constructive) suggestions?
