Sell or part out? 2002 Daytona

Have to sell my bike for Divorce costs...and just when I thought I would finally have some free time to ride. So sell outright or take orders for parts?


2002 Triumph Daytona 955i 5500 miles or so.
Clean and beautiful
Great Dyno numbers 136.8 on Dynojet dyno...have dyno charts and video on youtube

Upgrades:
Tuneboy
Muzzy Ti oval exhaust (Custom, no-one else has this pipe on a Daytona) Sounds Amazing!
Euroracing throttle assembly (fully adjustable)
Triumph Tank bag
Upgraded metal fuel fittings in gas tank (a common problem solved for good)
Solo and passenger seat included
Racetech fork springs...fresh Amsoil fork oil
Fresh mobil1 4t racing oil

Depends on how quick you need the money. Selling parts can take a long time, and you'll likely be left with a shell of a motorcycle for a long, long time. Put the bike on ebay, I'm sure it'll sell quickly.

Or, take a loan out using your bike as collateral, that way you keep the bike and with the pillion seat, you can pick up a new girlfriend.

^^^ +1

don't let her win

keep the bike and she'll soon be forgotten

Funny thing. I was about to go through one myself, and my SO getting behind and into my love of motorcycles - and helping in the purchase of the Daytona - was one of the things that changed the tide.

Seriously, don't part that beauty out!! If you have to sell it, sell it as it is, or take the suggestion of one of the other posts, get the loan, and pay the court costs that way, but keep the british bruiser...... in the long run, you'll be glad you did!! Good luck man..

Sorry to hear that you have to let the bike go. I'd say if it has any issues, then parting it out might make more sense. However, if it runs top-notch, then sell it as a unit.

How much are you asking?

If you decide to part, I'd be interested in the tank bag and the passenger saddle.

Let me know...

Well, I'm looking for a Caspian Blue left side fairing, so I vote part out. But seriously, why part out a perfectly good bike?

But if you do part, quote me a price for the fairing and passenger cowl.

Or, sell me the fairing, use that money for the D, and keep and convert to a SpeedTona.
