cbr400 nc23 what to do

Post by wullvfr »

i picked up a nc23 roughly 5-6 wks ago with the intention of getting it back on the road in time for april time next year.....
i was going to over the next few mnths whilst it is off the road get everything done that it needs,but now im wondering whether to sell it whole or break it!!!!!!
the only reason im not entirely sure about breaking it is because im worried that it would not generate enough interest,if i was able break most of the bike then it would be worth it.........
pretty much all of the bike would be available and the only parts that are goosed is the exhaust system and the carbs are needing float bowl gaskets!!!!

not sure,what you offering?

it has i think 24,000miles on the clock
no mot or tax.
there is cosmetic damage to the left hand mid fairing and a small crack to the right hand mid fairing.
the exhaust is blowing at the headers and the float bowl gaskets are leaking slightly.the left hand mirror is cracked.
off the top of my head that is the mostly all that is wrong with it.
it has a scorpion can fitted and the rear tyre has been barely used....not many miles on it at all.

i know,i can never make my mind up!!!
the other half in my ear..."just get it sold,what do you need it for?we need the money"......

tbh....it doesnt need much to get it back on the road and mot'd...just the exhaust and the gaskets for the float bowls.......but because it is off the road for the winter i was going to take advantage and get a little bit more done to her like...strip and clean the carbs and balance them after doing the valve clearance's.also treat her to a chain and sprocket kit.chain seems a well adjusted.

just need to wait and see,all boils down to money and time.....
