if you broke/parted one out, how much do you reckon it would fetch?

would mainly depend on the state of the panels and the extras

the engines are worth fuck all imho - the mille units are bteer for most

the wheels are worth nothing

the clocks MAY have value

the lights - possibly...

panels - allow 50 to 75 per panel with the main fairing section at 150

that make sense? and is just my view


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

the wheels are worth nothing
I sold my rear wheel (no tyre) for £100.

I'd suspect that the main fairing bracket (if it's straight) would fetch a premium

I parted out my old Fazer600 and got £1000 for it, same as I'd have got for it as a trade-in. Plus it took a year to get rid of every last bit, so it's no 'get rich quick' scheme.

If you've crashed it and bought it back as a catD for a few hundred quid then it's worth doing if you have the room to store the bits. Or if you've always wanted to take a bike to bits without having to worry about putting it all back together again it's a great way of educating yourself mechanically.
