Hey guys, well i now have three pics of the stolen bike. I'm looking to put an early bid in prior to it going to auction as the price the auction house has estimated me seems like good value to me....

Just wondering if you guys can have a look at the pics and throw out an estimate to me.

Damage so far:
blinkers - gone
Handlebar switches - gone
Termi exhaust - gone
Fuel tank - Scratch on right hand side
Frame - Scratches to right hand side
Clutch cover - minor scratches to underside

Seems to be a lot of wires hanging out, the one on the right hand side behind the clutch i think could have been connected to the audio system under the seat, although the photos don't show if the seat has been tampered with... Not sure if the power commander behind the left carbon side panel is still there.

I am having a viewing next week, so that i can put a bid in early- will mainly be checking that the pc3, ecu are still there.

All in all it looks like a dead beat stole it as there are still plenty of parts on there that he could get a pineapple for


Okay, i suck at putting pics up...hang with me...

you need to know if it is on the written off vehicle register , if so when it was put on and the status

if it is a stat writeoff then you can never register it

if it is a repairable writeoff then you have a $450 inspection fee to register it again

Oh, it is a repairable writeoff.....although my personal plates are still missing... 

If you still have the keys would be worth while if it goes cheap enough.
if any one else buys it with no keys it will cost heaps to get it running ,ie new instrument panel and ecu and keys of course.
The rest of the stuff easy to get of ebay in the US and about $450 for a tank respray.
The frame is an easy paint repair, they can touch that up easy, and if that is the scratch i see on the tank, may only need a touch up not much at all
Clutch cover no big deal buy a new one or spay it black again.

Oh and if you don't buy it try and find the the new owner and sell him the keys/red key you could make a killing.

You might want to check on the repairable write off laws, i have been told that after October this year (2010) you can no longer register a repairable write off in NSW.

The right handlebar looks modified

Hmmm....i def need to look into that...

And yes, i think the right handlebar has had a slight mod fitted..

About the keys, they were handed to the insurer when they came to investigate the theft....all of them.... So i assume that they still have the keys.

Just went through the garage - have a spare OEM clutch cover, OEM blinkers, OEM exhaust. If the insides are all there it could be an okay buy

mate ...sounds good but move on .......one monster per rider is good so many other things to try.........if the person who stole it is a dh who knows what else he might have done................regards hambo

Ah Hambo, i'm not looking for two in one garage - although now i slightly wish i bought the 1098 so i could have both now. I'm looking to buy, repair, sell. I loved that bike greatly, but now i'm trying to make a shit situation into a good situation..... 

And maybe i can score my old PC3.....

Now c'mon ... every garage should have at least 3 monsters. You can never have too much of a good thing.

Handlebar switches - gone

Do you mean master cylinders? I see switches.

You're right ... odd selection of missing bits. I mean they didn't even take the whole exhaust - so I wouldn't expect them to get the ecu.

Damage due to being chucked in the back of a van/ute maybe?

I'm with hambo, shame to see your baby in that state but you don't need the agro, and anyone that buys it is going to do a check and find it's history, making it instantly a buyers market. why leave yourself open to get screwed over? save your cash and buy a crashed 1098 for a track bike or something you may want to keep.

Hmm paul, you're not making it easy! Would it change your opinion if i said i may be getting it for $4000?

4k is cheap, especially considering you have some of the parts to complete it, exhaust etc., but it will always have the history of being pinched and with that suspicion of unseen or cheaply repaired abuse, and that's where you're in a bind, you can't hide the history no matter how good the bike looks buyers will be suspicous and either move on or offer you a rediculous price. you may still make a couple of grand profit, but you may not. I'd consider doing it for the enjoyment of a project but in my experience i tend to modify and personalise along the way, make it my own, and that makes a mockery of a "budget". If you go for it good luck, and let me know if you need stuff, i may be able to help you with bits and pieces cheap.
cheers
