How’d I do?

I picked up 2 Kawasaki C2SS Roadrunners. Blue is 1967, no title, rebuilt top end. Red is 1964 with title, unsure of history. Both run and ride perfectly though. Neither have been restored and they’re both in original condition. Red has 413 original miles, Blue has 4459 original miles. $2300 total took them both home. Super fun little bikes to rip around the road on!

I don't know much about fixing up motorcycles but apparently this bike doesn't really need much done with it for it to run I'm pretty sure it's from the '60s it has about 7,000 miles on it, I'm pretty sure this bike is a Honda Dream but I can't figure out the exact year it was made

XT500 value

I am considering selling my 1977 Yamaha XT500, and having a difficult time determining a fair value, probably because of the sentimental value. I am curious to hear what people think. Original frame, tank, and engine, who knows about the rest. Runs, new Mikuni 38mm carb, missing battery and related wiring/bits for proper lighting. Thanks!

1958 Puch

5 Upvotes

I came into possession of a 1958 Allstate Puch that belonged to my step-father. I have the manual and some instructions where it looks like he may have done some rewiring. It is a kick start and when we kicked it, it turned over but we did not start it as the gas had been drain out year ago for storage. This was purchased in 2010 and riding sometime in that year, it was shown at a couple motorcycle rallies and even won a trophy. It looks great but I have no idea of it's value or how to sell it. (I will add pictures shortly) any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I recently rebuilt the top end on this XL 250 R, I rode it about five times and the other day I went to kickstart and broke the spring inside how big of a pain is it going to be to fix this spring?

I know this isn’t exactly a traditional motorcycle but I’m not sure where else to post this. Any idea what something like this could be worth? Few dunks and mild rusting but nothing crazy. Just got it today currently doesn’t run but that’s because the gas lines not connected lol
