    i can get this poor 200x pretty cheap, but it's worse than it looks.swingarm bearings,and probably the swingarm, shot. rear shock, shot. rear fenders, broken. frame, welded by front motor mount. headlight, gone.
    supposedly it runs, but haven't heard it yet. tires hold air, at least for a while. VERY dirty. asking price $250, think i could get it down to $150.
    not really into 200x's, but seems pretty rough for the $$$. might be worth to part out though? not sure what year....

    what you guys think??
    86 tri z - might be nearly done throwing money at it! (good thing, the hondas are getting jealous!)
    86 250sx - old reliable
    83 atc 70-new project for me and the boy
    another 82 110
    a bunch of golf carts for the wife and kids
    -gone but not forgotten-
    82? 110 - why did i sell it??
    84 225dx - meh, it was a pile

    On the bright side, 200x parts are plentiful and usually cheap.

    What's your goal/vision?
    Budget to replace everything then ask yourself is it worth it?
    Nice ones can be found under $1k. You'll spend $200 on fenders alone. $100 on bearings. $100 on chain and sprockets. $200 on tires. Hows the tank? $100. I bet the brakes are crap: $150. How's the kicker? Does it have an air filter? Cables?
    Pretty soon, that $150 "deal" is a $1200 project.
    On the other hand, if you like working on them (like I do), cheaper entry is better.
    I bought one in that shape without an engine for $75 and I wish I'd held out for something more complete.
