Ask yourself this simple question:
Take your personal interest of this particular bike out of the picture for the moment;
If you saw an R3 listed 'down the street' in exact same condition (salvage title plus damage) for exact same asking price - would you be interested in pursuing that so you could part it out to make some extra money?
I suspect the answer is probably 'no' - but I'll let you answer that for yourself
If you are looking to only market the small parts by shipment and the large parts (where the money is frankly) ONLY locally (with a quite limited market), then I would say it is not a rewarding enterprise.
But if you enjoy wrenching, don't mind the shipping aspect, or the intermediate storage aspect, then it could certainly be a good economic prospect; but don't look for immediate return on the initial investment of that $3K outlay
As usual, another good response and advice @DEcosse! That really has been my feeling all along, but I thought it would be worth my time to get some opinions. When I was younger I couldn't get the grease from underneath my fingernails, now I have no interest in it except for the things I need to do. I just want to move on and bring the new 2015 Rocket I bought to replace my totaled bike up to where I want it. I figure another 4 or 5 years of riding and I should hang it up anyway. That will put me up near 75 and in spite of being in good shape I'll be lucky if I can even hold the beast up. Thanks
