Advice needed

Hi guys. I need some advice (as the topic says). I’ve decided to give up on the GSXR track bike project due to lack of time and cooperation from the bike. Simply put, I can’t get the damn thing to fire and since I’m work 150kms away from where it’s stored I’ve got no time to work on it. I’d love to pull the carbs off and give it a good clean, but that’s not something you want to start when you’ve only got half a day on the weekend.
There is a spark, and is wired up correctly, going by the temp display on the tacko. The bike has had issues with starting when I got it initially but my mechanic in Brisbane managed to iron that out.
Now to the problem. I’m looking at selling the bike. As it stands, everything forward of the rear sub frame is in good condition. The tank, fairing, harness and Speedo are from an ex race bike so they have some damage on them. The harness is stock to the best of my knowledge with the unused plugs taped up. As far as the engine goes, it’s in original condition, the forks and chassis have been worked on after the last stack and I’d say is closed to as new.
The rear sub frame is from an ex race bike so it doesn’t have the extra mounting for the pillion, and it’s got a one piece rear cowl so you can’t pillion on it as it is.
I’ve called the guy who fixed it up last time to see if he had any suggestions but he hasn’t got back to me yet, fair enough cos he’s a fairly busy guy.
Can any of you guys tell me how much I’d be able to get for this? The main driver for selling it is the fact that I just don’t have the time to work on it. I wanted to use it as a track bike, but the idea then was that I’d do setup work for track days, not struggle to get it started, on the weekend.
On the other hand, if anyone knows how I can get it fixed, I’d appreciate it as well cos I still like the bike and wouldn’t mind keeping it.
Cheers
