If I were to sell my red 2009 1125cr where would be the best place to do it?

My suggestion is to keep it and prepare it for storage and forget about it. At the moment, it has little to no value. Nobody wants a bike they cannot support for spares. In the future, these will have a lot more value, much more than today. It makes no sense to get rid of your bike for scrap value and that's all you will get for it at the moment.

Hmm and how best would I store it for long term? Just drain the oil and gas? Should I do anything to the brake or gear shifter fluids or the battery?

Remove all the fuel. Remove the battery. Put the bike on front and rear wheel stands and put a cover over it. Stick it in the back of a garage out of the weather and forget about for at least 10 years.

I have a brand new 2008 1125 in storage as well as a ton of spare parts and engines.
