hi guys
just wanted to ask how much this bike would be worth


2001 996
ohlins rear
ohlins steering damper
five spoke wheels
race fairing
termi end cans
but no V5 as it was a write off............................

i could get get it cheap but is it worth the hassle

[JPM]

Any service history?

TP is selling his 996S for what 5K and that's a nice bike when he cleans it

I'd say between 3-4K tops

[nathanhu]

the seller says it has about 5k on the clock but no service history scince he bought it from a scrap dealer...

im sat at home trying to convince myself that it would be a safe purchace but i have angnst about bying a bike with no V5..

[nathanhu]

oh but i beat him down to 3.5k

[nathanhu]

how do i get the bike re registered though if it was writen off???

[748IOM]

Don't know about Germany but to get it road registered it has to go through an MOT test or equivalent.

[nathanhu]

did you get a new V5 then or did you get the old one re issued???

[nelly]

I don't think you'll be able to re-register it. Depends upon the classification of the write off, but no V5 would make me think it was a B.
It should have been broken for parts..........................
You could get a frame with a V5 and transfer the parts over, but it starts to get expensive then.
A track bike with no V5 is all it'll probably be, realistically.

[rockhopper]

Nelly is spot on with this one. Its a cat B, it can never go back on the road. I think the frame number is ground off and the V5 goes back to the DVLA.
Make a good track day bike though. Needs to be a lot cheaper unless its very special.

[marksduc748]

been down this road many a time and some times its more trouble than it is worth, nelly said the right thing by saying you could always reframe it then youll have the log book but all depends on the price of the bike and if you feel it is worth while.
