I have an opportunity to purchase a '99 X1 very cheap. The bike is in poor shape. Spray can paint job, S3 fairing mounted, butchered wiring harness connecting the headlight & turn signals. needs tires, brakes, etc, etc...
It does have a few things I'd swap off, a Works rear shock, billet pegs...
1st - I already have a a perfectly good '99 X1 which I ride almost daily.
2 - I'm not really mechanically inclined so rebuilding it myself is out.
3 - I know I could make $$ if I put in the time & effort to part it out. I don't really have the time, and cringe every time another tuber gets cut up.
So, I guess what I'm asking is -- in today's soft market, what would such a bike sell for?
Not looking to make a lot of money on it, but would be nice to make enough to take my SO out for a nice dinner.

Buy it, swap out the parts you want, and resell it as-is. You can probably break even on the cash and get some parts you want for free.

All kidding aside, it sounds like it could make a cool rat bike.

It probably wouldn't take too much effort to turn it around.
You already have an example to copy, right?

You could make it like the evil twin of you current bike.
