sell or rebuild?
Hey what's up fellas? A friend of mine is selling his 1999 R6 for 500 bucks..It's been in an accident and debating wether to put it back together or just part out the ****? It comes with a 2 bro's exhaust from the back to the head and is in the good condition..he wrecked into a pole tearing off the headlight and front fairings..i'm in a debate right now. the engine only has 15k miles on it and everthing else looks pretty cool! I need someone's 2 cents to help me decide thanks.[:@]

Post some pics of it so we can see for ourselves just how bad it is. If you can find all the parts you need off eBay, or at a motorcycle junkyard for not too much money, then go ahead and fix it. Otherwise, you could make a killing by auctioning off the bike parts.

500? I'd buy it... if anything... if you can buy another bike (so you have 2 R6's)that needs motor/tran work... out of 2 bikes, make 1 Or, when I wrecked my R6- Instead of putting it back together completely, I should have simply turned it into a track bike-or stunt machine- I did enjoy finding all the bits and pieces and making it run hard again! That was a fun month- well, except for the gashes &bruised ribs

yea buy it and rebuild it, thats what i did but i only needed to replace the forks and rotor, i payed 1200 for the bike and 200 for the parts, 03 cbr600rr but now i can flip it and make $4000, well worth it in my opinion
