Just taking a quick judgment check here. I am thinking of selling this bike but not sure if it would bring more parted or sold complete. Has a few repop parts but pretty much OG. what do ya guys think?

Depends how much do you want too get out of it I'm not a fan of parting out bikes even ladies bikes thats a complete ride if it was a junker I'd say salvage what you can but it's looks like a solid rider just my opion
 
its a dead solid rider but I am just clearing up some space. some things just have to go sometimes to make room for other projects. this girl may be the next in line. I am just terrible at pricing items and I dont ever rely on what some goofballs price things at on fleabay. Just doing the quick math it appears to be a bit better to part it out.
 
My opinion is that you should try to sell it whole for a reasonable amount first. If that doesn't work, then you could go through the pain in the butt to part it out. But you could be left with a bunch of parts.

I would say what's you'd have to set your own expectation for what you want. If you really need the space, and drop the price down, you will sell it quick.
 
I would try selling it whole first. I dont like parting something out thats that complete if it wasnt ridable or would take to much to make rideable then I would think about parting it out
 
I gotta add my .02 I have to agree with the keep it together program,There are tons of peices and parts out there . But it seems like fewer and fewer of decent complete rideabe nice old bikes, I agree with big kountry on even ladies bikes! Tom

+1 I agree 100%!
 
All bull put aside the bike should easily bring 200 for a quick flip if you had the time 300 but just to clear space 200 an it would sell fast just my .02
 
That bike would take way more time and space to part out and sell then to just leave whole and wheel it around and get a buyer. Youd have to also ad shipping to each part on top of the asking price which will increase it lowering the range of people wanting to buy it. Id say you could easily get 200 for it plus shipping here in cali if you wanted to send it to someone on the west coast.
