No , got mine for less

no, not a misprint, but if you read the ad, it says £950 spent at last service, he wants £2495.

Ah cheeky !

Im thinking of buying a complete bike to break for the engine.

Seen one on there for about £1900 1998 27,000 miles im aiming to try and get £1000+ back is this do able.

looked at this myself, but when you can buy an engine package for less than 1k, is it worth the hassle?, also if you look at how much parts are selling for on ebay, i think you would struggle to get a grand back for the bits you don't use, so could end up being an expensive engine in the long run.

Hi

I bought a full bike to break for my project

It was great because I'm using all the electrics, switches, clocks, rad

But didn't get as much back on the bits from ebay as If you look there are a lot of people at it.

I think the engine packages are pretty much right price wise and a lot less hassle.

But if you have the time to strip the bike down to parts then It's a good way to get to know the bike you are using.

Because you can see all the plumbing and electics and this seems to be the main problems on the build.

Hmmmmm SOmething to think about then.

I was thinking i could snap up a good deal in the winter aswell. I was also thinking it would be a better way of checking the engine especially when it could take me a while to sort fitting an engine and running it.

I wouldn't bother buying a whole bike unless you intend playing on it first. You will end up with things you don't want and can't sell on.
