Is there any profit breaking a scooter?. I have broke a motorcycle before because I got it cheap and came out with about £100 profit not counting my time breaking it. Is there any profit to be had breaking a scooter? I would break my ball ache GP if I thought I would get my money back but cant see it.?

Depends what it owes you its condition and if you have anytrick bits on it ?
Plus is it about making a profit? or just getting rid and helping others out , its always a shame to break a scooter but one dies so many can live as they say ......

Agree with Shocky about breaking it, but as a guess I would say Italian yes, Indian no....

It seems like a lot of work and mess for £100 :o
TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

Save you time & chew breaking it... just list it on eBay as-is & it'll find its own value... but then you'll only end up buying another one & find yourself with same head aches! lol
