Looking to see what the general consensus is on this bike's value. Someone gave me an offer out of the blue (bike wasn't even for sale) and I'm wondering if it is a valid price or not. I'm beginning to wonder if I should take the cash and run or if I should keep the bike and keep riding it.
The bike is an '81 XS650 special. I bought it about a year ago and spent a few months going through it. I've since put about 500 miles on it. Here is what I put into it:
New tires
New battery
New brakes front and rear
Mikes XS 2-1 exhaust
New pistons, rings, cam chain, and valves (with all new gaskets obviously)
New rear shocks
Flat tracker handlebars
New airfilters
RK 530 o-ring chain
Boyer ignition and coil
New charging system rotor and brushes
Custom carbon fiber panels on tank and side panels with new paint
The bike runs and rides great (ride it to work whenever it isn't raining). What do you guys think is the realistic value of this bike as it sits?
