Sorned N reg Divvy Seca for sale

[mikward]

Can anyone suggest a sensible selling price for an old machine that requires parts and labour. As it stands, its a non runner with 27k on the clock. On the whole the machine is VERY good but it does need work.
This bike has been garaged for two years as it requires exhausts. Its likely to need the carbs cleaned, new battery, timing chain tensioner and f/b brake cylinder overhaul.
The bike is sorned, no tax or mot. All papers present.
It would make an excellent source of replacement parts but I cant strip it owing to a neck problem.
It had a new front tyre fitted within 5 weeks of it being sorned Its got a new chain and sprockets too. I wish I had the money to restore it or the ability to break it.

How much do you reckon you could get for a non runner that is essentially in good condition?

I would say it all depends on how quickly you want to shift it ...Ive allways found the right buyer even if its meant waiting...If you add your location to your profile you might find someone not too far interested in it...

Bought mine for £400 running but not MOT'd

bought my 600 j reg with low miles full mot and tax new tyres and a full tank of fuel for £550 a few years back. sold it in similar nick minus the full tank for £500. youll struggle to get more than £200-£250 i reckon, a new exhaust will be pricey, maybe another £200 for a nexxus second hand in good nick, i doubt anyone would replace for an original seeing as they rott pretty quick, proper sonic carb clean can be £60, the tyres might have been new but rubber can perish in certain situations, i once bought a bike that had brand new 4 year old tyres on that were rotten all over from being stood. mot and tax you up to almost £600. theres always more in them after youve scratched the surface and its those problems that sting you on the old money front, i paid £600 for a diversion 900 a few months back with no mot or tax, spent a fair bit troubleshooting why it wasnt revving right and it turned out the previous owner had faffed with the carbs and not put them back together correctly. but for about £700 total i got a fully mot'd taxed and running 900. i was once given a bike for free, a cg 125 and only made about £50 profit once id got it back roadworthy. if it werent for your situation and not being able to restore it id say do it up to keep yourself, other than that part it out but make the buyer come and get the bits off themselves. its always frustrating when you know your going to lose money on something. i hope you get what you want from it pal, but dont expect alot from it, its a buyers market these days. if your going to ebay it now is the time, youll get no interest in winter.

I was speaking to an oldish guy yesterday at H's Cafe near Oxford and he said he was looking for a project, just likes working on bikes, not so bothered about riding them.

So there are potential buyers out there, it's just a case of finding them And I'm sure many of them aren't eBayers. Also if it's a non-runner your buyer is most likely to be local. So Gumtree, dealers' shop window ads, biker caffs etc. may be your best best.

its always a good ide to advertise in your local bike training shop, as soon as people pass they need something decent and cheap. it could be a good in road for you.

Thanks to everyone, some informative ideas here.
Seeing as I'm away for the next three weeks, things will have to be put on the back burner for a while & it looks as if Ill be asking for the £250 mark then.
If anyone reading this should be from the North Tyneside area and is interested, please feel free to post in this thread.
Cheers
