What's the best way to sell a scruffy bike these days?

I'm thinking of letting the 10R go and probably one of the others and replacing the two with a more all-rounder, probably a light-handling middleweight of 90+BHP, but that's up in the air at the moment.

Facebook marketplace seems to be the popular place to buy/sell vehicles
now. My van went in a day a couple of weeks ago. Got my new van off
there too.

Joking aside, I'd be kinda interested to know what you sell the 10R
for

Have you still got two halves of a 10R to sell then?

I thought you had a plan to get it back together - wasn't that the one
you were talking about doing just before you got married?

Talk is cheap. And the word "plan" suggests much more organisation
and commitment than actually exists

Yes. ISTR you thought that I/me might have some time to spare and get
it done the week of your wedding. I don't recall actually being short
of anything to do that week.
