You're having the p taken out of you I feel... SV frames don't sell for much (they're very hard to break) but the Renes alone should net you a good sum, plastics in good nick will always sell, even with the bottom end destroyed there's good pickings on the motor- clutch, casings, cams, tensioners, heads and barrels even (maybe). Radiator's good for £50-£100, controls for about £30 a side, forks about a hundred. Wheels £100 for the front, £50 the rear, plus about £50 the discs. This is all rough guesses but these are fairly typical ebay prices. Locksets are quite valuable... Same for subframes, headlight, tank's worth at least £50 even if it's damaged, carbs... Of course, it's far more hassle to break a bike yourself but it really ought to pay off.

All this is assuming it's in otherwise good nick of course.

Fair enough, but make sure you get what it's worth is all.
