A friend has a Honda CM450 he needs to get rid of. The bike was sitting around for about a year, he got it from another friend and drove it around for 2 years. Is this bike worth fixing up?

Shit, if someone asked me about buying a 914 I'd probably tell them to buy an Elise instead.
If you do it all yourself, a chain and sprokets will be 100. Fork seals will be 80. Brakes will be 60, flex lines another 40. the shock is NLA but the rebuild will be 200. The seat cover will be 40. Tires will be 120, a clutch 100 and the battery 60. A good tune is 50. Hopefully the tank is not rusted out. That's $850 in parts on a bike that is worth, on a good day, $300. Come to think of it, that's pretty much the ratio of parts:value on my 914 too. |
