98 T/A sell complete or break?

[MCsanandreas]

i may be buying another T/A as i have found a potential bargain buy. so what to do with the bike i have now? it has no M.O.T. or tax now and will need a new back wheel and pair of tires,and soon i would think the front wheel will need a rebuild as well.
so do i try to sell it complete or would i get more by splitting it for spares?

Based on experience, you'll get more selling it for spares but you'll end up with all sorts of bits left over. The money will come in over an 18 month period and you'll have lots of 'fun' packing and posting stuff.

I wouldn't do it again unless I really had to.

Anyway, just how bad is the bike? Any pics?

[MCsanandreas]

bike is not in bad condition it just will need a pair of tires and definitely the back wheel rebuilt,and i would think soon a front as well as it is of course the same age.
still not 100% sure as to what to do. missed out on a cheap one on here a few weeks ago which would have given me all the bits i needed. typical!
