I was looking at an Edinburgh bike breakers website looking for parts for my Honda CBF250 and I saw that they were breaking an XJR1300. I'm not sure I'd be happy with bits from such a wreck especially if they might be splattered with blood.

Wow! It's not the speed that kills you, it's that sudden stop at the end. Ouch!

It looks as if the engine might be ok. Everything else is scrap.
