I've got the chance of a 740ssie for £1700. It appears sound.
15k miles, suffering from being unloved and unused, a bit of cosmetic corrosion having sat under a cover, a runner.
I was thinking of buying it and breaking it for some essential spares and then selling the rest off.
My question is about the cost effectiveness of it. I might be able to knock another £100-200 off.
What could I expect to get for the motor, wheels, forks, bodywork etc. Or would I be better off watching EBay? It's just that I am sick of watching EBay seeing some stuff go for more than I wanted to pay.
Has anyone done something like this before?
Cheers!
