In looking for new plastics for my bike, I've found a ZZR250 being sold as is where is with the parts I need. However the bike is going for 800$, and the owner is willing to just sell me parts, but the bits I'm after are probably about 400$ worth.
Because of this I'm considering buying the bike and scrapping it myself, taking the bits I need and trying to sell the rest, which will be things like the motor, wheels, forks, shock, tank, seat, brake disks, etc. I'm happy to do this over a perioud of a few months, but am I likely to get any buyers? I'd love to do this if only to learn more about pulling bikes apart, but does anyone know if I'm likely to be able to sell the bits of the bike I don't need? Or is noone likely to want them?
