Just laying in the woods? One looks like an atc 200 or 185, earlier model maybe? (IE, not a 200s or 185s). Robbed of most external parts, recoil, sprocket, stator, flywheel?, tank fenders etc

Other one I don't know. That ghetto rack looks nice, I'd repaint it and use it.

I don't want to be the one to piss on someones parade, but I've pulled, and made money from, bikes abandoned in the woods befor.
I would be suspect on how they got there.
I know around here bikes that end up in the middle of the woods get there one of two ways, first somebody gets sick of dealing with them, does not know what to do with them, then dumps them. Second the bike gets stolen, beaten until they die, or get stripped, then dumped or left to rot.
Also I have seen people break down and leave a bike hidden until they can retrieve it later, but that does not seem to be the case here.
If the the first senario is the case you would be doing a good thing (and would be enviromentally responsible) by removing them and recycling them as you see fit. I would be careful about #2, you wouldn't want to step in it.

You can look for the VIN on the Honda frame neck: http://atcvin.webs.com

On the Yamaha I am not sure

mike, it does have a solid muffler, but its all rust, and all the bolts will most likely break but i might be able to replace them.

The 185/200 cylinder is probably toast from the carburetor being left off of it. It is a shame to see what a little piece of duct tape could have saved.
