obviously the pipes are not stock.  Allot can be figured from the side cover emblems, turn signal locations and shape, disk or drum on the rear, headlight ears, etc.

depends on what you mean by desirable - if it is a whole bike that has low miles, good compression and spark, and a title then it would be a shame to part it out. However if the motor is locked and the frame is so rusty you could manipulate it like clay parting it out would be your best bet.

What is that green kit car looking thing in the background?
