How much is my bike worth?

IMHO, I think you should give up with it, and break it for parts.


- Clearly nothing to do with me needing an engine....

^ lmao

naa think i should keep the engine and stick it in a yamaha rapter frame (yfm 660 would be a 650 obv)

I'll give you £600 for it as it is...

dont even have it back yet so will see what the full extent of the damage is

the bike was my 18th bday present (8 months early) i crashed it once last year costing £200 (5mph drop) spent £700 on upgrades and maintinace scashed it (as you know) last saterday 3 days after my 18th bday hence why im pi**d and dont want much to do with it atm

and now i have to speend £400+ on getting it running again so at the end if i repare it it will have cost me nearly £3000..... so yes i am throwing things out of my pram, i dont like putting time and effort in to things that just get trashed so thats why i want rid and just get a boaring bike that i can throw down the road and feel next to no emotions about what i have done

sory for the rant, and if its worth £500 then so be it

(ps got rid of last bike because i couldent bare droping £3,000 worth of bike again and the fact it was actuly my mums)

Crashed it twice in 8 months and you want a zx6r (boring bike?) ?!?

Sorry, you need to fix it as cheap as possible and get some instruction, because your riding apparently isn't amazing. IIRC, you were approx 2 car lengths (8-9 metres) behind your old man doing 45mph (20 m/s) or less than 1/2 sec clearance. You're bloody lucky you didn't break your neck, and even luckier your dad didn't break it for you!

We all f*** up, most people on this forum will have had some near misses this last year, and a fair few have crashed. Some, unfortunately didn't have your luck (see fallen friends). Last Sunday I c*cked up a corner, ran wide, and nearly hit a car, getting back to my side I nearly rear-ended the car in front of me. Don't blame the bike for your balls-up. Learn from your mistake.

amazes me when people think going over at 5mph on a sheet of black ice is my fault.

and meaning boring as in not moded to my taste i dont like the looks of the bike in its standard form so wont get that attached to it un like the sv.

And im completely aware of what the out come could have been. And when you dont know where your going and following the car in front you forget the most basic of things even more so when concentrating on tight twisty single lane roads

and where in my post have i blamed the bike .... im annoyed and don't want any thing to do with it at the moment, doesn't mean i was saying it was the bikes fault

im at fault and i know it, i dont need people to keep telling me ...

..

Can I say something, if you aren't bothered, why are there so many threads asking advice on what to do with this bit, or that mod, or in this thread, how much is it worth

IMHO...you must want summat to do with it....cause yer still rabbitting about it

STFU, and get yer ass into gear, instead of moaning, and gettin annoyed

You should keep it, its silly to spend all the money you have on it to sell it. Its yours and its unique.

Just keep a larger gap between you and other vehicles and dont go out in bad weather.

because its my only transport and mum n dad have decided to spend the least amount of money so that means repair, and not another bike. and i cant stand public transport £5.70 for 5 miles is a rip off

I'll give you the first one was pretty unavoidable! It's not that people are out trying to tell you you're wrong, but you need to learn from this, unless you want to be posting "Anyone know where I can get fairings for a Ninja 6?". By no means are you alone (search for man down/crash etc.) and myself I have been very lucky to escape my recent cr*p decision-making unharmed. I now find myself needing to sort my attitude to riding and my judgement, before I end up a cabbage or worse.

Maybe proof-reading your posts would help, I think you may be giving false impressions of yourself and your attitudes, as you sometimes come across as petulant, spoiled and a bit stupid; whereas the work you put into that bike, and probably into other aspects of your riding judging by other posts shows a much better picture.

Do consider further training, even a Bikesafe would help, you aren't skint so improve your bike (whatever you end up with) by improving the input unit.
