Busa03,
What are you buying it for, spares or to rebuild as a road bike?
Rebuilding probably will not be economical, even at $1k unless you have mates who can do the paint work for you or you are a mechanic. Ive repaired couple of bikes but only with minimal damage so this is based on my experience.
A quick cost for you which may be different in Qld,
2nd hand panels say $200 each.
the Gen 2 has two panels per side so min $400 each side.
Nose $200
front indicator pods 100 each
Tank dents are not easy to fix
Engine (second hand) $7k if you can get a gen 2 engine.
Electronics - havent costed but lets say $1.5k
If you are not lucky to get second hand panels of the same colour; paint $1 - $1.5k (prob closer to 1.5 or in NSW app 400 per panel yep per panel).
Have you checked if it was a repairable wirte-off - in NSW cost of RTA inspection fee is $450 (stamp duty etc on top of this).
So min cost of engine. elctronics, painting and inspection fee = $11k plus $1k for original pieces = 12k (this doesn't inc cost of the panels you need to replace or any panel beating on the tank). Add new controls, lights etc if damaged. Also unless you get a complete wiring loom you will prob need new digital lock system etc.
Hopefully you cna get beeter prices to change the economics but they nearly always cost more than you expect
This compares w buying a low k senond hand Gen 2 for 13.5k.
Hope this helps
