Having a bit of a Tony moment here, and trying to work out whether its worth selling. I know I'll miss it if I sell it, but I'm chasing cash and all the rest...
74 VR250 in bits.
The good points are:
New bore (first OS) & new piston kit.
Spare 2nd OS piston kit.
Good chrome on the forks. New seals (not fitted).
New TAG alloy bars.
New Magura levers.
Good Magura throttle.
New grips & kill switch.
New YSS 302 shocks (not 100% sure on the model number - they cost me $1000/pair though....).
2x new rear sprockets.
1x new front sprocket.
New quality X-ring chain.
new black mudguards.
New repro airbox.
36mm Mikuni.
Brand new GMC pipe.
Spare 73M bottom end (crank fuct, gearbox should be fine).
Brand new Michelin tyres (MH3 F, S12 R).
Some resto work already begun - swing arm blasted, brake plates refinished, triple clamps polished, clutch & ignition covers file finished, etc.
Frame seems clean and crack/bend-free.
Bad points:
Has the 'in the day' Lyall O'Brien lay down shock mod (original mounts there, but needing repair).
Both wheels need respoking, unless someone knows of a solution to the corroded nipple dramas.
Needs a seat base & cover.
Some damage & old repair behind the stator cover (the usual kick-starter issue).
There's also about half a 54M parts bike, and possibly a nearly complete 74 King Scorpion if it really made a difference.
So... I know I'll take a big hit financially if I sell it, but what sort of money should I expect if I decide to get rid of it?
Obviously, stuff like tyres, handlebars and the chain are useful for any bike, so I'd be happy to keep them.
When I got it:
