Bike Questions
a friend of mine had a project bike that he was gonna work on but he got a new bike and gave me his old one. Its a 86? 1000cc Ninja and the body panels are cracked it has no key or title it needs a radiator and something is wrong with the oil system i believe. I have never owned or ridden a bike so im just looking into suggestions on what i should do with it. like is it worth it to fix and sell it? since i've never riddin a bike i know i shouldn't try to learn to ride on it. what do you guys think?

Re: Bike Questions
sounds like a serious money pit, if you are interested in riding sell or trade that for something with less problems. Keep in mind how much that shit is to fix, i bet you have around 1000 dollars in body work alone after paint. And i dont want to get into the problems you will have with dmv without a title.

Re: Bike Questions
how much do you think i can get for it? how much would a good starte bike cost? i was looking at some like 250cc ninjas or something like that. I'm not gonna have a lot fo money for a bike and i havnt really seen any cheaper bikes around here.

Re: Bike Questions
is he giving it to you for free? if so put it on ebay and anything you make is pure profit, put that towards a ninja 250 or something
if you have to pay anything more than a hundred bucks for it i would say its not worth it though, even in good running condition i can't imagine that bike pulling in any more than 2k on its best day
