is it worth rebuilding a crashed bike? the bike turns over and has a clean title frame. is it worth rebuilding it for a profit? this rebuild will include fairing stay, fairings, headlights, subframe and rad. the bike is an 07 r6. i'm interesting in hearing experiences people have had. i am also considering parting the bike out.

If you have to ask, your going to spend more than you can sell it for.
Like restoring a car, these things don't usually work out as investments.
It might be worthwhile to someone as a track bike. It sounds like an expensive parts bill otherwise.
i summarized what is damaged in the first post. lets say i'm willing to pay between 1500-2000 for something in the shape i described.
That means you know less about whats actually wrong with it.
That much damage and I would assume it needs forks too to be safe.
If the radiator is done and the subframe is done and the headlights are done, it sounds like the bike has cartwheeled and is damaged all around.
Price out those major components and see where it puts you. Figure on replacing just as many things that you don't know about yet. Better make darn sure the frame, forks, wheels, and swingarm are all good.
