[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1431287, member: 69719"] I'm amazed at how little rare vintage dirt bikes are worth sometimes. For instance if you have a pristine 73 CR250M Elsinore, you might get $4,000-$10,000. Still in a shipping crate unopened, you might get $20,000. But most of these old bikes bring $1,500 - $4,000 max, if completely restored and looking like brand new. And it is very easy to put more money into the restoration than you'll be able to sell the bike for when done. And as Joe pointed out, don't even bother to put a price on your time, or you'll lose money the first week you're working on it. But let's face it, we keep these bikes because they are cool, we have a soft spot for memories of our youth or because we just plain enjoy working on them or riding them. If it were mine, I'd probably attempt to rebuild the engine (if you think you have close to enough parts to get it running again), gussy it up a bit with a coat of paint where necessary and ride it. Before spending a dime, though, I'd inventory what it might need. Then start doing some 'bay and other research to see if there are enough parts available at a price to make it worth your while. Sometimes, these old bikes are just not worth rebuilding for lack of a crankshaft, con rod or even an odd size piston or bearing that is difficult to find these days. [/QUOTE]
