Hi all,

Not sure what to do with a couple of old trailbikes ive got at home.

One is an 86 xr 200, the motor is rooted. It had seized, and once pulled down we found the crank was damaged. Sold a few good bits off it (forks, swingarm)

Other is an 84 xr 200, which runs, although needs some work. Most studs into the cylinder head have been stripped (the rocker cover came off!) and blows a lotta smoke. Overall condition isnt the best but certainly fixable...$$

How much $ would i expect to get as parts for these bikes, and what is the price to basically rebuild an engine (84 twin carb)??

Should i offload the rest of the 86 bike and fix the 84, or get rid of them both??

I cant afford to spend heaps either way, but any input appreciated

Cheers, Jarrod

Get rid of them both, put the parts on eBay for 99c each, no reserve :)
