Generally, buying a wreck and doing it up is not economical. But then this not about economics, it's about the satisfaction of doing it. However, an investment in a bike that you like to keep it going and in good condition is always worthwhile. You can prioritise the jobs, spread the expense and maintain / improve the bike over a period of time. My VFR is a good example - it is 14-years and 40,000 miles old and is still in fantastic condition. The suspension at both ends has been refreshed and the brakes will be next.
