Pfffft. £7.50 and a bag of ready salted.

Wouldn't go near it personally, looks like a big expensive job. If you want a cheap hack, buy one.

Probably the best thing you can do to a BMW bike anyway.

What Dan said, find a nice little traillie, DR or something as a project. Horrid bike even when unburned

Run away. Far away. Or give it to Tracy Emin, she'll make some crazy statement with it and sell it for 500k!

If he's short of buyers then I'd offer to take it off his hands on the understanding that IF you make any money on it you'll split that with him.

Not going to make my mind up until I have seen how bad it is - if any of the engine parts show signs of heat or are melted then its an instant no-no - but like I said I wont know until tonight when I go to take a look...

Too much melted plastic for my liking, and I even if you did get it to run, I wouldn't even consider NOT putting a new belt on it, you don't know if the heat has damaged its strength.

For a little money you can find a 7 year old Bandit which is much cheaper to look after...

.

get it & paint it matt black weld some daggers to the front forks and mount a melted barbies head on the headlight wrap some barbed wire round the swing arm then put some netting over the tank and paint over that with matt black and chuck some moss and seaweed oh and dirt and youve got one wild ride. i quite like the melted plastic though

Haha I actually like the sound of that. Turn it into a Mad Max bike!
