    What to do with my wreck

    Hey i've got a 2008 250R wreck in my garage and i just want to get rid of it... any suggestions on what to do? main thing is fairing damage and brake pedals + scratches along the exhaust. not really worth it for me to fix up. any dealers/ wreckers that buy this kind of stuff or anyone who has had a similar situation?

    i would imagine that if the majority of the parts/engine were in good condition you could sell it to a wreckers. This is their business and im guessing they need to get parts from somewhere. You might not get much though as they obviously need to make a profit. Advertise it on gumtree. My mate sold a his GPX wreck after a period of time for a decent amount.

    Keep it licensed if you can, then advertise it as damaged and stick it in the paper or online.

    Or buy some 2nd hand parts and put it back together and ride it again, or sell it.

    Or sell it to one of the above. Am also keen to know what you're letting it go for..

    yeah give us a rough price, I'd be interested in seeing how much. Might be good to replace multiple parts in mine

    I sold a wrecked 2008 hyo gt250r not that long ago for a decent price through gumtree and I think it was in worse condition than yours. Mine had one side badly scratched up and a blown engine an I still sold it in 4 days no problem.

    If that's the extent of the damage then fix it up before you sell

    I would be fixing it up before selling or just flogging it at is for a reduced price. Would be surprised if there is much more than 1-1.5k of repairs there.

    P.S socks and Sandles are not cool

    I imagined a ball of twisted metal vaguely resembling a motorcycle when I read the title...

    If that's all there is, as others have said it's a relatively easy fix. Fix and sell, or sell cheaper than everyone else for the cost of the repairs and then some.
