A couple of years ago I got this 1980's Honda 750 for free on Craigslist. Brought it home, paid the back registration, cleaned up the carbs and got it running ok but when I started riding it around noticed that it constantly pulled to one side. Long story short I  did a bunch of measuring and figured out the frame is bent so I put the plates in storage and it's been sitting ever since. Not sure what to do with it now, as I'm already $500 in the hole and don't want to make it worse. TLC stopped accepting bikes and I was considering cutting it up and trying to get some cash for the scrap metal, but not sure how that works.

In a perfect world I'd take it apart and try straightening the frame myself with a torch and an couple bottle jacks, but that has the potential to become a huge waste of time and more importantly I don't want to be tripping over bike bits in my tiny garage when there are more important things to attend do. Not sure if I can get anything for it on Craigslist and nobody wants to take it as a donation.

Any suggestions?

That's too bad, those older 750's are starting to become collectible if they're in good shape. I used to have one.

Wish I had kept it sometimes, along with the 550/4 and 400/4 I used to have. Classics.

If I were still in my 20's or 30's I would take it on as a project. Now, I would sell it as is. It would be too big a project for me to take on. I am sure you could easily get $200 or $300 and be done with it. JMHO

Too bad you didn't post this earlier this week, I would have jumped on it.
You trying to sell it or give it away?  Ill take it.

Back in the day when we would test our stock class road racing bikes out at Willow Springs racetrack in SoCal, we would see some crazy go-karts.  Powered by all manner of motorcycle engines.  If you are handy with fabrication, maybe build a radical go-kart?

Are you positive the frame is bent?  A lot of people are making cafe racers out of those bikes, so there is a market for them.

I've been working on a 1981 CB900 as a cafe for a while now. Looks like it'll be a while since I have ZERO extra time.  LOL.
