most seem to be parting out bikes that they wrecked themselves.

thats just a perception though

But some guys are parting out bike as a source of income. Come on guys. Let it out the bag.

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

Contact Chris from MotoredSports in the parts section. He's got lines on all sorts of stuff, he had an S2R800 located for my brother for $1600. Minor bike damage but the back engine mount needed a weld.

Insurance auctions, like here in GA the big one is Verastar (www.verastar.com).

But, you have to proove that you are a dealer,

Not sure where you're located, but there are 2 companies here in MN that sell crashed and repo'd bikes (and RVs, and sleds, and...)
