That thing of yours ain't worth spending a grand on

You'd be better off breaking it on e-bay and putting what you get along with that grand towards something else

I'd rather go to the brakers than buy of ebay. At least you can see if there's any marks in the panels.

But if pay for myself and had done as much damage as you say then probably brakers. If it was just one panel then new, if my Daytona.

Panels are mega expensive though.

I would use breakers if they had the parts such as the farings, but other more essential bits, i would get new such as the brake levers and engine etc.

I wouldnt buy a new engine, fooook that!

I buy it from whoever has it! And whoever is cheapest!

new, but Id trawl ebay first for unused fairing panels stripped from race bikes.

Would depend on the age and condition of the bike and insurance cover. If the bike was getting on a bit, then definately a breakers. If protected no claims on insurance, then probably through them depending on excess...

Got a spare grand you can lend me in the next month? We could start a get Funky mobile fund

I've seen engine going for about 300 squids, i'll drop it in myself and then pay to get all the valves, carbs etc set up.

There are about 6 or 7 working bikes coming, from Blades to a near Brand new Z1000, but get stuffed I am keeping this baby.

I know there are some others including a CBR600, CBR125, Supermoto to name just a few.
