Apologies if this is against any rules, but I'm looking to sell on my 1988 K100LT. It's been stood for a couple of years following a (unrelated) bicycle accident leaving me with a fractured skull and broken neck. I'm no longer up to handling this bike.

I've been offered £535 by one of these "we buy any bike" type outfits on the basis of it being a non runner in below average condition. It turns over and fires with a jump pack, but I've not managed to get it running for any period of time as the battery is pancaked.

I think the bike has project potential and would rather it go to an enthusiast, than a scrapyard.

Anyone know of anywhere I could list this? I don't have Facebook or any other social media.

I've borrowed a battery charger from a friend to see if I can get it running. It's really scruffy cosmetically and definitely not worth much more than a grand. The cost of a battery is the max I'd be prepared to throw at it now, and to be honest I'm just sick of the sight of the thing and all that it represents

Thanks for the replies all. Bike does turn over and fire, so I think it's just a battery/old fuel issue, along with cosmetic damage.

Have DM'd the guy interested above and will reach out to the club.

The trade dude has further messaged to increase his offer to £575 and can collect tomorrow so I think he knows it's desirable.

Bike has now been sold. Glad it's gone to an appreciating new owner rather than a trader. Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions
