Ouch! I feel for the owner!!

[Paul Minnaert]

well it wasn't registred yet, so a shop demo bike maybe?

But as I see it's worth is nothing ,or perhaps onlz some parts, since the most bike is damaged, it would need much $$ to be rought back , in this case better get a new one ,without the ''bad luck'' of this piece. Price 8K and not the reserve met, well this is a joke , right?

[Paul Minnaert]

Well the damage is greater as a new one costs. what is left is: engine, swingarm, frame, if it isn't bent, wheels. The older 4v duc engines don't bring much on ebay, this is a highpower one ok. The guy with highest bid, is selling ducs in parts on ebay, so he has made the caclulation, and thinks it is worth it.

 

I opt for the brake calipers.

I wouldn't bet for the frame , I have seen Dukes 916& 996 frames bent from small falls.Also in Germany is prohibited for a bent frame to be fixed and put on a bike to get tüv.(at least that's what I 've been told form a dealer) I wouldn't bet for the motor either, who knows if it kept running when the bike was in 'horizontal' position

Sure for some lesser money would be sure worth if someone wanted using parts for a project but even though at 8K,reserve price isn't yet met.Well everyone wants to make some extra profit these days.

At the other side there are top condition 999's sold around for 10K 's
