Motorbike people - what do you think this is worth?
« on: August 06, 2016, 06:11:48 PM »
I need to decrapify a bit, and a project has to go. I got too many things I need to work on.

What do you guys think a 1986 Honda XR600 is worth? I have the original carb for it taken apart, and a pair of flat slide carbs I never got around to tuning. 

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Five, maybe six hundred bucks tops.  Hard to tell what needs fixing from a picture.  You could make a pretty good super motard with it though.

If you post it on Craigslist, $2000.  If not, what dm1333 said.

Me? $100.  One-fifty if it were put back in running condition.

And bearing in mind I don't ride two-wheeled and four-legged things any more.

Also many non-profits love to get old non-running cars and boats & whatnot (including the NRA, by the way) and sometimes the tax deduction is well worth it.

If it runs and stops, maybe 500 tops, if not maybe $100. It would be worth more if you part it out on evilbay.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Yep $100. I just bought 2 complete 125 and 175 yamaha  enduros for less than $200.
