Post by: RotaryGeek on March 21, 2010, 01:18:55 PM
Can someone find the value of my 1980 honda cx500 for me? im not at home and some guy just offered me 1500 for it. Its almost fully restored, seat and exhaust are thats left. paint is fresh but has its flaws. has like 16k miles on it. my only thing is that me and my dad restored it and it has alot of sentamental (sp?) value to me.

Nevermind, you said 1980 = Non turbo.

Your bike isn't worth shit Dude. $1,500 is a screaming deal.

1500 is a screaming deal(unless for some reason you have put that much into it...) those bikes are usually worth 500$ maybe 1000+ for a mint one. usually less then 500 if it has problems. i bought one for 100 then traded it for a 26 gallon air compressor with some air tools worth 350+. mine had a good motor but needed a bunch of little parts for it. cables, some bolts, front break caliper and shit. to much to fix up for cheap. depending on the bike and condition of course the general rule is 1$ per cc on older bikes. does yours have the kick start plus the electric start?

Take the fucking $1,500.00 and get something newer to get all sentimentally attached to. Your bike is a pile, and you can't get new parts for it anymore.

1) Take the offer

2) Buy something newer

3) ???

4) Profit?
