Obviously you have no real clue....50 was a gift. I have followed them for years and the prices...300....seems if you would pay that..you need dope slapped. Cause the last several full "really restorable" bikes couldn't get 300. And this gem couldn't pull 150 when listed on here. Facts are facts....I just keep it real..not fairy tale land.
did i say I would pay 300 for it? heck no, i said he could GET 300 for it. might not be for it whole either. maybe 300 parted out. might take a while, but i could see it bringing that. i sold a 70cc indian dirtbike motor that didnt look like it would be worth anything but a display piece (which is how i found it) it sold on ebay and got shipped to canadia.
YOU might not think its worth more, but believe me, to SOMEONE its worth it.
another case in point, i was given a rough looking zuki lt160. not worth fixing by any means. started looking up sold parts on ebay, its worth about 600 in pieces. all together it was only worth giving away
as ludacris said, rust or no rust thats a cool piece. my neighbor buddy has an even older benelli moped that has the most beautiful body lines, beautiful engine.... is it worth restoring? probably not the rust is quite extensive... but ive offered to buy it from him several times and he wont sell it. it would be beautiful hanging on a wall.
some folks just dont understand.... :doah:
