scrap bike?
my friend was involved in a serious wreck this past friday, and he doesnt know what to do with the bike, he still owes about $9000 and he needs to pay it off. Should he scrap each part of the bike and sell it, or sell the bike as a whole? Im not sure how bad the bike is but the entire rear part of the bike broke off(exhaust,tailseat,fender). It is a 2005 cbrRR 600, its black with gold graphics. so if you have any helpful information please post or even if your interested in the bike PM me.

If he has to get the money himself selling the parts seperate will get him more money than the bike as a whole, but selling this way can take more time. People usually just want to get rid, which is why scrap merchants make so much money. e.g buy a whole wreck for 2k split it and sell the bits for a total of 4k

i told my friends countless times that full coverage is the way to go, but they dont listen and now this happens he regrets it bad. For those that wanted to know what happen, we took school of for the day to visit colleges, on our way to UTSA, traveling down I-10 the traffic came to a hault, we all slammed on our brakes not to hit anyone, and my friend sped by at 120mph, he braked and stoppied, flipped over, and got smahed inbetween his bike and the truck in front of him, he broke his collar bone, pelvis, roadrash on knuckles and back, possible leg fractures, he is currently at University Hospital in ICU. They said he should pull through good and heal with no problems as they can see.
