    Hi Emma .... :welcome:

    Quite a few pieces by the look of it :D

    Many factors come in to play to determine its worth

    Depends if u mean selling it in pieces and then if all the pieces are there and the motor is a 'runner' ..... is it a pile of rusty parts? .... condition of the bodywork?

    Or if u want to rebuild it then sell it as a going concern ... ?

    Hey Emma

    Is it worth something, absolutely, as its a 2 stroke, there are plenty of enthusiasts out there, the RG250 has quite a cult following ( especially the 1987 model with powervalves), if your looking to offload it, then maybe try a free Gumtree add, if its mostly there and is a basket case (stripped down bike in pieces) it could fetch $400 - $500 , if its complete and running, its worth twice to three times that.

    Good Luck

    Chris

    Hi and welcome.

    in a lot of cases it would be down to people who wish to buy but i think jump on ebay and you might get rid of some bits and or get prices.

    My estimates , I try and work out what a wrecker would want and halve it to ensure quick sales, also say you are willing to post at buyers expense

    wheels 16" and 18" - $150 pair
    frame - $60
    foot peg LH - $40
    foot peg RH - $40
    one exhaust - $40
    wiring loom - $40
    triple clamp yoke tree top and bottom - $60
    swing arm few scrapes but still good - $40
    front indicators - $15 each
    handle bars - $40 each
    switch gear LH - $50
    switch gear RH - $50
    headlight - $40
    rear shock - $75
    rear brake and cylinder - $45
    thingies that go in swing arm ( rear wheel adjusters) $30 for pair

    Do you have gauges, carbies, ignitor , front forks etc ? they always sell easy

    Cheers

    Chris
