Buying a Parts Bike?

[The Gecko_imp]

I doubt it's cost-effective for cheaper parts / wear parts only. But if expensive parts which may get bent in a minor incident (wheels, fenders, saddle, and most prominently the tank), or those which may eventually subside to corrosion, or failure (ECU, instruments etc)....where all in good shape ? Such bike may be worth a few presidents. Honda parts are expensive. I would forgo the deal if the price was above 3000. After all the one part you will really need in 3 years or 7 may not be usable.

Depends on how cheap it is and what parts are damaged.

Also- how much the benefit of 'maybe' needing the part- compared to tying up your money and space to store the bike.

Good point PD, so garage space, cash and enthusiasm for the CB1100 play a role too
