I am considering selling my 2010GS Anniversary model, along with all the extras and parts that I have with the bike.

I bought the bike as a code 3 with less than 900km on the clock, had it completely rebuilt, and have had it ever since.  It has given me a 33000km of pure joy and not a sinlge days problems.

I have converted the bike into a long distance tourer in 2011, by putting on an ADV 33L tank, doing a custom Matt Black paint job on it, but I can convert it back into a 2010 Anniversary model in around 45min.  I have kept all the parts and side panels separate.

Here is two photos of what the bike looks like in both anniversary model, and as a custom tourer with 33L tank on in Matt black.

The  bike is currently still a code 3 and doing 90% off road with it, I never bothered to license it.  


Here is my question:
1.  Do I try and do the licensing thing and sell the bike as is, and then sell of the parts left over?
2. Or do I just strip the whole bike and sell all the parts as they are, and not bother with licensing at all.

Some of the extra's that would not be on a normal GS, listed from front to back, that will be up for sale:
1.  21" front tyre conversion.
2.  Beak Protector
3.  Headlight protector
4.  Spotlights
5.  Adventure screens x 2, both clear and black, with the bracket
6.  Clocks cover
7.  Two finger levers
8.  Handlebar raisers
9.  Steering damper with bracket
10. Adv Tank and additional panels, Matt black
11.  Upper crashbars.
12. GS tank bag
13.  Custom fitted seat
14.  Fold down GSA Brake pedal
15. Tri-piece frame protectors LH and RH
16.  GSA luggage rack for topbox and panniers
16.  Bosson Exhaust End piece
17.  LED indicators
18.  Spare rear rim and tyre
19. Mudsling mud deflector
20. Wunderlich Fuel controller.
21.  Bigger bash plate (I think its RAD or someobody's)
I roughly estimate the extras alone at around R50k.

If I sell off all these extras, I still have a stock standard 2010 GS Anniversary model, which I can then try and sell, Or do I still strip the whole bike and sell all the other bike parts as well.

I will be interested in the opinions of the guys on here.
