I am not looking to sell my R but I did have a guy try to buy it off of me the other week. I told him I did not want to sell it and I really did not even know what I would sell it for any way. Even if I did want to sell it.

So anyway, just got me curious and thought I would ask what you guys thought she would be worth. What kind of a price range.

Not the greatest picture cause it was taken with my phone but it gives you and idea of her looks.

She is as follows....
- 86' frame that is fully gusseted and braced for use of an 89 swing arm.
- 89' swing arm and 89' linkage with an 89's Works rear shock built for my weight (165 lbs) set up for woods. Only about an hour or two of ride time.
- Front Works tripple rates
- Pluss two, plus one Lonstar Race front end w/ 400ex brakes and spendles w/SS front lines
- RPM rear axle
- Big tank, good plastics and seat cover.
- Made at home belly skid plate, aluminum swing arm skid
- Twist throttle
- Motor is a 86' with a long rod crank and new stly piston. Has been re-sleved at some point and had a good bit of port work.
36mm Duncan PJ carb, motor was completly gone through by me and is nice and tight.
- Good aluminum Honda rear rims and Douglas front with 6ply tires that might have an hour or two of trail riding on them
- And I am shure lots of other little goodies that I am leaving out but that gives you an idea of her.

She is not a radical machine at all but did not turn out to bad. I built her from a frame on an very limited budget over about a year and half time frame.

So if she was yours and you were going to put a dollar value on her, what would you say?

What other details would you like? I think I am more curious about what she would be worth now than anything.

It looks nice but I would like that you would be hard pressed to get over 3000 for it. I've seen some that are kind of like that around here going for around 2000, even nicer ones have a hard time bringing in over 3000 or even 2500 for that matter.

IMO, if the machine is tight and "sound", $2,000 would be a decent buy, and at $2,500 someone would be paying enough money for it.
