Not very much, if you want to ride it, Maybe more if you want to piece it out, even more if you want to rebuild it to sell. Good Luck.

I would say it is worth what it's worth to you. What do they want for it?

Don't have to look too hard to find a really nice one 5-6k running...could easily cost more than that to make a basket case nice. If you want to build a bike it is always cheaper to start with a complete running bike...I won't look at one unless it is a "give away" price.

If it's got paper and matching numbers on the frame & motor $2000 to $2500 or so is about right.
