This is a post that i never intended to write, but i may have to sell the old girl. After the last year for so many reasons & the last kick in the nuts that my car has terminal issue that it'll enviably die. I had health issues for a while which meant since the bigbore went in i havent really rode it. So ball park figures to sell? I know value in parts if i had to but would rather someone enjoyed it for many a hapoy mile. Spec, 2004 tuono fighter Gen2 1060 engine running 139bhp 84.3lbft @6500rpm - done about 250 miles since built Arrow full race system, carbon cans Carbon twin height stacks 57mm tbs Evo air kit & big boot Gabro hybrid chip Custom mapped PCIII & Quickshifter Ebc clutch plates & springs Uprated clutch slave 1098 clutch master cylinder Brembo rcs brake master cylinder & twin lines Brembo calipers off Bmw/triumph Brembo serio orio discs Gen2 yokes Gen2 radial forks with ktech ssk 20mm kit & racetech springs Oz evo forged wheels with 200 mile old michelin pilot 4's Wp rear shock with matching yr matching dogbone & plates. Recent new bearings & teflon washers Translogic dash Quick action throttle AP rearsets Gen2 radiator Gen2 oil coolers Gen2 factory carbon bellypan V4 carbon front mudguard V4 rear master cylinder Uprated starter cables Reg/rec modified wiring Futura fuel level sensor installed Rad/cooler guards Race petrol cap R&G's Ventura luggage system, inc small rack, big rack, grab rail & bag Various carbon pieces, some o.e & some aftermarket. Tank is off an 01/02 which was new when i fitted couple years ago. Original Inc. Edwards rear end Tuono factory front fairing & mra screen & headlight protector Bikes done around 45k but nearly all components have been refreshed or replaced. The engine has done around 250 miles since being built. Some of my other sought after bits may have to go also. Akrapovic Gen2 evo6 system Ironbite airbox kit Brand new gen2 swingarm Brand new gen2 lock set & immobiliser Gen2 late carbon rear panels Just some of them. Thoughts welcome |

bugger sorry to hear Chris
ideas on value are tough for sure as you said price up the bits and you know what the total would be but as a complete bike never what you’d hope for

I think that specials never realise the sum of their parts when sold on. My advise would be to make the bike as standard as you can with what you have and sell it and the desirable parts separately.

Noooooòoo!!!!!
Mate I know you've had a really sh*tty year and I'm truly gutted its come to this that bike is an absolute weapon with a ridiculous spec but as Mark says you won't get anywhere near what it's worth but you know that too you've got a keener eye than me for bike parts. |

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left

I really hope your health improves - if you have your health then everything else is possible.
As for the bike, the downer is always that it’s real value is probably 10 times what you could get for it so I really feel for you She looks nice. Really nice - good work. J

As has been said, you will not get anywhere near what it is worth, the only way is to put close back to standard and sell everything off, it’s not a nice thing to do when you’ve put all that effort in but you have to detach from it and think of the end value and benefits for you not the bike.

Aw crikey Chris, really sorry to read this mate.
Blood sweat and tears have gone into this build and this bikes got soul and attention to detail by the shovel full!! I remember how sad I was when Mark had to break his bike as he metions above. I'm in the middle of buying a house, so things a bit up in the air moneywise, or I'd have it off you and you have it back when things are better. |

It’s a tough one
I’ve been removing some of the trick parts off my Gen2 for all the reasons mentioned. Good luck with it all

The luck i was hoping for to get my old car back on the road has not been possible.
Too much to replace then found a rusty sill. Put pay to that. I'm going to start by selling my spares/exotica bits first then see where i stand with wether the bike has to go or i can pullna couple of bits from but keep the heart

If you have another translogic dash tucked away I would be interested. I think some of your parts should raise a few quid so you stand a good chance of getting there.
