Hi All,
On this slow day at work....
This though just stuck me and need advice. I have a 00 Busa, now the new Busa has been launched.
Will it be a good idea to sell the 00 Busa and take the hit on the resale value.
Or
To dismantle it and cell its component….
I am NOT in the market for new Busa but thought this may spark a valid debate.
Cheers,
Bill
Scary thought here, but the way people are going down, parts may get you a higher price if you worked it all out correctly.

You can definetly make more selling it in pieces but you need to know what the new price and aftermarket price is for each component and avaliabilty, to gauge what you will sell the parts for.
You would probably sell most of it on ebay but you may wait a few years to get rid of all of it, it just depends on who wants what.
Your price will also be determined on whether you are supplying a warranty, not everyone wants a motor with no warranty just because you say it was runnung at the time of removal
If your in no rush to get rid of it you can make good money
But at the end of the day its only worth what someone else wants to pay for it.

If there is nothing wrong with a good bike, I wouldn't break it down.
I would rather see someone else enjoying it.

If an 00 is worth say 8k, I cant see how parts would fetch more then selling in one piece. If its engine fetches say 3k, I cant see another 5+ for the rest.
5 panels average @$100=500
fuel tank " $250=750
2xwheels $400=1150
3x rotors $180-1330
3x calipers $200=1530
forks $400=1930
subframe (alum) $ 50=1980
triple tree $ 80=2060
dash $250=2310
rear suspension $ 50=2360
3 master cylinders $ 60=2420
F footpeg assy.L&R $100=2520 (50ea.)
R pass foot. assy. $ 40=2560 (20ea.)
handlebar+ends $ 40=2600 (20ea.)
undertail $ 50=2650
axles x2 & nuts $ 50=2700
wiring loom $ 80=2780
F seat $ 60=2840
R seat $ 60=2900
battery-worthless
airbox with engine
plus main frame $????
swingarm $???
Im sure there are a few other bits and pieces. above prices are just on average.

Volvi most of the money is in the Motor, starting at 4k and up last I heard, thats what the wreckers rely on, everything else is a bonus, The dash and forks if you had to buy them would be double the figures tou have listed. Of course people have got them cheaper so its all a bit of a lottery really.

didnt think motors got more then 3.5 max (good one to). one cant really go by wreckers as Ive noted they really charge an arm and a leg, many parts way over what theyre worth. like forks they often want a rediculous 1200. you buy the latest gold ones from the states at 300+shipping. and 00's are the older silver ones. the dash well, again everyone wants the moon for them coz pre 01, but they cant fetch the price so I reckoned 250 is the realistic price but as you say its pretty much a lottery.

3.5 for a motor is cheapish, several have sold for that but depends on what goes with them, wreckers sell a kit including wiring ,dash,fuelpump , doesn't leave much left besides a roller and fairings

Sell complete & let someone else enjoy, you can't get that kind of power for that price, Aust post will be the only one that will win at splitting them up for parts.
