Pricing help please

So I've got two months to get rid of my 2004 Silver FZ6 that blew it's engine. Right now it's parked in a garage that's costing me only $100/month, which isn't awful.

Options:

1) Sell as is, needs new motor. How much should I ask for? $1000 too much? Better to call it a parts bike or just say it needs a motor?
2) Part out: Nervous about time required and wouldn't know what to do with the remainder
3) Salvage: I have no idea if anyone will pay to take it. More likely I'd have to pay to have it hauled off.
4) Crazy option: Buy a $600 motor and try to get it running in a month and hawk it on CL for $2k. I can *probably* do that, but if something goes wrong I'm out another chunk of cash.


If you think parting out some of the tasty bits is a real, viable option, which things am I missing that might actually be worth something and easy to ship?

Chain & sprockets (<5k miles on them)
side visors (silver)
inner cowling pieces
side pods
rearsets/pegs (OEM)

As time is of the essence, I'd probably place it on CL and sell for 1K..

Someone mechanically inclined can put another engine in it for roughly $600 and have a running bike for $1,600. Can't really beat that.

Great for both the seller and buyer... Sold as is, no headache for you...

I'm with Scott, sell the bike as a whole, parting it out will always leave you with hard to move items and with a two month timeline you don't need that.

Thanks for the input. Up on local moto forums and CL. So far only scammer ****bag responses, but we'll see if there's a nibble over the weekend.

If you haven't already, wash and clean the bike as best as possible.

It does make a difference!!! Show's the owner takes care of his stuff and what the buyer is getting.
