Doing up an old bike - is it economical

[markbubble]

if you love your fazer then id keep it and spend what you need when you need to ,most parts are very good prices(either new or used)and plentifull the most expensive parts are brake discs,tyres and chain/sprockets the other major part is of course the engine but service and look after it and it will do many miles and if worse case used engines arnt too expensive,as for the frames they will last years as long as you dont bend it crashing etc! once it gets to around a value of £1000 it wont loose much more but if you get another bike for say 5000 it will loose value till its around 1000! and you would still have to spend cash keeping it going,iv restored classic scooters,cars etc and altho the parts add up the main thing is the time doing the work!
