Honda CBR600 F2 - Can You Turn a Profit on Parts?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video, we do something a little different. We've bought this 1994 Honda CBR600 F2 for not a lot of money. It's complete, but a little rough for us to want to spend the money and time to get it back on the road. We could just put it on eBay and turn a small profit, however, we though we'd do an experiment to see if we can strip it down and turn a decent profit on the parts. If you've ever wondered if the sum of the parts is greater than the whole, then please subscribe and follow us on this journey.
We don't want to sit on the parts for a long time, so we will be pricing them to sell.

Shame to dismantle it, but I guess it will help keep some other examples of this Honda on the road. Hopefully you will make your money back and a few quid for the effort 👍

It is a shame. We hope to get some interesting content from it and, as you say, we'll be sacrificing it to keep some more of these on the road.
i've owned mine for about 5-6 years now, and its cost me a fortune just to keep on the road. something you'll probably find reassuring is those micron cans are fairly desirable and that one looks in decent nick, and a running engine can go for about £300 on its own in good nick from reputable sellers on ebay. i'd probably price this one down though based on the fact its got a manual CCT, people only really do this to get extra life out of the Cam chain. as a manual CCT can keep the tension for beyond the max extension of the stock auto CCT (some also change it out of fear the stock one will fail). other than that though, a tidy up and powder coat on that frame should bring a good return on your expenses. i'll save any further comments so as to not spoil your adventure, but depending how much elbow grease you want to put in to clean the parts up, will be the biggest difference between a small profit or a big one, since at £300, i think you'd be hard pressed to turn a loss :D

Thanks for the detailed feedback and useful information. The Micron did, indeed, sell the moment we listed it! I think it was worth a little more than we thought. Other stuff is selling, slowly, and we are pricing low as we're not looking to sit on stock. We're having fun (mostly) taking her apart and doing some filming. If we turn a profit, it won't be a lot...We're thinking £150 for the engine although it's currently proving devlilishly difficult to get all of the seized engine bolts out :-(
