If I had a knackered old ZX7R taking up space in my garage, I'd:

Sell it, burn it, forget about it forever
2 (11.8%)
Resto' job..... back to factory fresh
5 (29.4%)
Old skool track day too for classic track days
4 (23.5%)
Throw some fuel in it, ride it as it is
4 (23.5%)
Other ideas......

Not that I'll get around to it any time soon, but I'm curious....

Bullet is a crayon monkey and he is making a lovely job of his ZXR restoration with a fraction of your garage resources.

Sure you could do it if you tried.

Sell it. If you honestly think it's going to sit there and never get finished then personally I'd sell it.

However, if you don't need the money, it's not taking up loads of room, and it's not rotting then I guess you have the luxury of just leaving it "just in case" you get around to it :)

Of course, I've built loads of bikes...... but never whilst single handedly restoring a house.....

Its all about priorities, and this is not one of hers.

Personally I'd be loathed to sell it, on the grounds that whoever bought it would probably do a bang up job restoring it and then I'd want to punch their smug looking face in  :rofl:

dunno, it's not ran in a while so I imagine carbs will need stripping.

not sure if the battery will take a charge either.

I've managed to clear the garage out this weekend, so I guess stripping it down to look like a half decent work in progress would not be too much work.

depending on if it needs "money" a chucked at it and a lot of time, if its only minor you'd be silly not to turn it into a useable bike again

It owes you sod all, it's not really in the way, leave it in the garage for when the house refurb is finished and then tart it up at your leisure  :azn:

doesn't look that bad ;) Ive ridden far worse! Give it a clean/service bolt the fairings and screen back on and just ride it until you feel like or have the time to do anything more with it. carb cleaning doesnt take that long and a battery isnt much  :grin:
