Guys
I have not posted for a while but last time I did , it was for help with a 59 Plate burgman that one day just wouldnt start.
I checked the codes etc and worked out it was the Fuel pump or relay.

As I do with most things , I left it in the garage and did nothing with it for two years.
Recently a mechanic from our local club offered to look at it and took panels off and spent an hour and half on it .
Said there just wasnt a spark and under the panels it's pretty rotten so either pay lots to get it fixed or sell to a breaker.

The breaker is offering £200.
If it was working , I would have expected more then a grand for a 59 plate with 25k miles.

My question is , what is it worth as spares or repair?
I am aware the mechanic may be trying it on but as a club member , I would prefer to keep things nice.

My options are to take the bike back off him ( not way to get it here so pay a man and van )
Let him keep it and dispose for me, including the brand new battery I got delivered to his house
Or sell it on , but it would have to be collected and be soon .

I was hoping to use the money from it to buy a SYM Joyride 200 scooter that I really liked . oh well.

For an 11 year old non runner it's probably a fair offer.

If you took it back, you might possibly get more. But, even if you break it and sell as parts yourself, you have to ask if it's worth it, considering the hassle involved.

Others may have a different view but I wouldn't hesitate to take the £200 and walk away.

I suspect rust on frame looks worse than it is my K7 looks bad but still solid .£250 is going rate for non runner for spares so not far off .

Where is it?

What colour is it as well ?

I know he's in Leicester, but he says the bike is somewhere else.

It's at his mates
I think it's worth saving

Hi Guys

Sorry. Yes it is gray. Looks fine but when he took the tupperware off , it showed rust. Possibly superficial as mentioned in this thread .

Not sure how to add videos on here so am linking to two videos .

One when I wanted to sell it last year and one from the mechanic showing the rust.





He is asking what I want to do with it so will need to decide tomorrow.
Feel a bit rushed and not happy with it tbh.
Can someone tell me if the links work ?
