I bought my 86 Z for 725.00 and have put about 2000.00 into it. It is still not perfect but I ride the crap out of it so I don't mind.

I bought a 250sx in December for 300.00 and have maybe 100.00 into that so far. I am switching the front end with a 200x. That is were most of the money went.

I just bought a Z with somebody for 610.00 and have 35.00 into that.

I gave 300.00 dollars for my 86 200X, stripped it down to the frame and have been slowly restoring it, right now I am up to about 550.00-600.00, and thats including the price of the bike, Bad part is, there is only A really Nice red frame setting on the bench and a few other misc. pieces.

So far, I've only spent $300 on both the Honda 200X and the Yamahe 200ern. I still have not got them running yet. I hope to use part of my tax return to get them going. I really want to go riding.

Who in their RIGHT MIND!!!!! would keep track. Honestly there should be a help hotline we should be able to call when a rare part we want comes out on ebay.

I got my 200X for free but put $800 into a complete motor rebuild and then another $500 in cosmetics like plastic, seat, bezel, and all sorts of small things that it was missing. Totaled out at $1300

On my 350X I bought it in cherry condition and haven't done anything to it but new grips and a bar pad so maybe I have $1530 into it.

Well with the parting out of my 85 BigRed parts bike. I made $750. It had no fenders and motor was bad. Still have motor. With that I have about $650 in my 87 BigRed and 85 350X. They are both very nice also. Not some hobo resto job either. LOL. I have been offered $1800 for my BigRed and $2000 for my 350X. Im pretty happy. Didnt sell either one.

So Could have made a BIG profit. Maybe on day.

I have a couple 350X's. 1 show and 1 go. The show probably has over 7k in it. 2k just in the motor. Every nut and bolt was chromed, she is pretty. But to keep it like that I don't get to ride it much, and when I do it's just a shake down run on pavement. I always have the go girl to beat on

Dude, pics!

Edit: I paid $1000 for my R in 1989. I don't count maintenance items, things that just wear out over time like tires, chains, sprockets or even top end rebuilds. 16 years of that stuff ads up but I don't keep track of it. I just count mods and improvements. Cosmetic items. That said, I've only got about another $700 on top of the original purchase price. That would include things like the new carb, Rad Valve, pipe and silencer etc. The porting and what not were done before I bought it. I'm about to dump so more into it though. Mostly on cosmetic stuff. I have $335.03 in my service honda shopping cart right now. Been there since last night. Just haven't been able to pull the trigger yet.

Ain't that the truth! But I figure when you add up all her clothes, shoes, purses, etc. that I'm still way behind her.

I bought my '85 250R brand new for $2400 over 20 years ago and probably spent $1000 on mods back then. I rebuilt it from the ground up 4 years ago and spent another $2000 and have since added the big bore kit and additional chrome, polishing and other goodies for another $1500 for a grand total of $PRICELESS.00

And I'm still not finished!
