wild foamy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi peeps. Im sure im opening myself up to a barrage of "whatever you pay for it when your pissed foamy!" posts, but is there any specific guideline value for scrap bikes? Reason being the MC club at Cosford has recently started up again and there is F1 CBR600 Hurricane sat in the storage shed in pretty rough shape with flat tyres, no front fairing e.t.c and they've asked me to sort it out with the registered owner who has since left the services or they will have it scrapped. ideally i was going to break it for parts but am wondering what sort of price i may be looking at for it. cars tend to be £100/tonne at scrapyards but i cant seem to find any reference to motorbikes... any ideas?

dt502001 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have done some scraping in my day and the only way to get top dollar for metal is to break it into clean metal and thats a Pita when it come to removing all the steel from ali. Probably best to pull what ever good parts there is and just bin the rest for scrap steel weight ,because if the scrap yard find 1 tiny little piece of steel then it all gets clasified as dirty ali. O I just had a thought You could run it over with a tank and then seperate all the steel with a magnet Its just a honda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
