Thread: Need An Education

I just decided after only 24 hours to buy a mike bike and possibly do a full restoration. In the 1970's I owned a Ymaha Mini Enduro which ate the Honda's for breakfast but they don't seem to have that Mini Feel.

Can Anyone Tell Me How Much I Should Expect To Pay For A Decent one That Runs And Doesn't Need Any Major Work?

I Can Probably Get This One For $500.00 But Have No Clue If This Is A Good Deal.
Can Anyone Assist?
Thanks!

That looks to be a KO (69-71) . Has a later exhaust (72-78) . Seat is redo or aftermarket . If it runs well, I think it would be worth the $500 . Below is a pic of a 1970 all original .

Mike that sure is a funny lookin '79,but nice

I think Mike meant is an original 1970 instead.For 500.00 and running probaly not bad but it looks as if the bike was pieced together.Depending on what you want i would check the vin numbers on the frame and motor and see if they are close.If it's just for a rider,that won't matter.

I was thinking you had so many bikes you just couldn't remember their birthdays.
