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.

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

Thankfully, hobbyists are quite innovative at using 3D printers, and 3D printers continue to have more capability and are cheaper to own. Printed parts will become more mainstream for recreating parts every year. Even metal 3D printers will come down in price.
