(also posted in marketplace, I don't know where this really belongs)
My German isn't the best, so I'll write in english. The german text below is translated with google translate, so some weird things could be in there.

I got this Suzuki VX800 frame + engine + gas tank + plastic covers(not in picture) + saddle/seat (not in picture) from a lot of motorcycles.
The rear wheel attachment point and the springs are missing, 1 carb is missing.
I'm not really considering fixing it up since it'll take a lot of work/time for me and would probably cost me a lot too, so my question to you guys is if this is worth anything, what would you do with it? Sell it for scrap metal? sell the parts separately? sell the parts together? put the engine on a go-kart? something else?
The meter says it has about 55 000 kms on it.

I'm located in Belgium about 1 hour drive from the German border.
Feel free to ask more pictures/info about it!

Thanks!

Ich habe diesen Suzuki VX800 Rahmen + Motor + Benzintank + Plastikabdeckungen (nicht im Bild) + Sattel/Sitz (nicht im Bild) von vielen Motorrädern bekommen.
Der Befestigungspunkt des Hinterrads und die Federn fehlen, 1 Vergaser fehlt.
Ich denke nicht wirklich darüber nach, es zu reparieren, da es viel Arbeit/Zeit für mich in Anspruch nehmen und mich wahrscheinlich auch viel kosten würde, also meine Frage an euch Leute ist, ob das irgendetwas wert ist, was würdet ihr damit machen ? Für Altmetall verkaufen? teile separat verkaufen? Teile zusammen verkaufen? den Motor in ein Go-Kart einbauen? etwas anderes?
Laut Tacho hat er ca 55.000 km drauf.

Ich befinde mich in Belgien etwa 1 Autostunde von der deutschen Grenze entfernt.
Fühlen Sie sich frei, mehr Bilder/Infos darüber anzufordern!
Vielen Dank!

Proposal 1
sale parts separatly.

Proposal 2
If you have no space for storing = sale complete/together

Proposal 3
If you are an enginer/worker/professionell = put engine in Go-cart and have fun :-) sale the rest parts.

You can get good money for the engine and for the fuel tank.

If you will scrap the engine = Please let me know :-)

Thanks!

I have storing space but it's outside under a tarp, so not ideal.

Do you have a rough estimate of how much the fuel tank and engine is worth?
I got an offer of 50 euro, but I have no idea if it's much or little for the engine.

The VX800 itself is not very valueable, price for a complete and running bike is around 1000-1600€.
But 50€ for tank and engine seems to be too low. Instinctive i would ask for 80-100€ for the tank (if good condition) and around 250€ for the engine.

I for myself would try to build something fun out of it.

just take a look in the "Bucht" (E-bay) then you can see the approx prices for Fuel tank and engine or other parts.

But you have to wait for a customer who need the parts.....
