1999 cr 500 af Whats it worth?
I found this, N. Gerogia is pretty close to home. I like the looks, I have to have a friend go look at it and inspect it, check compression ect. ect. What do you guys think? Good deal? Im gonna talk to the bank tommorow and find out if it would be a go on the money side. Let me know what you think. Heres the ad and a start video.

Soon a 2009 cr 500af from sh
The idle of a 500 2 stroke is like Satans heart beat.

I buy and sell older dirt and street bikes quite a bit, 5 or 6 a year, and I watch the local ads all the time. I hate to talk value when the builder is a fellow member, but IMO $3000 is too high. There is a very small market for a bike like this, and most buyers view any modifications as a negative thing, much less a transplant. Most riders are also terrified of the legendary open class bikes. IMO as a general bike enthusiast and not a CR500AF owner or builder (yet), $25-2700 is a reasonable asking price, but don't get your hopes up for it bringing more than about $2200. I have no delusions of breaking even if I build an AF and then want to sell it.

Looks nice, but 2500 max imo. Figure a bike like that is worth 1500 in that condition with a running 250 engine. Then a 99 500 engine is around 1000, add 500 for the mods, subtract 500 for the 250 motor when sold. So 2500 is right, but you can add a few hundred or subtract a few hundred depending on little things.
Don't Clyde it, ride it!

Thanks for all the help and responses guys. Im gonna offer him 3000, I think. Maybe a lil more than its worth, but cr 500s are hard as hell to find on the east coast, much less af framed ones in good condition.

Yeah but I will keep it if I can't get $3000, its paid for and it don't eat that much, plus its a blast to smoke brand new $6000 four strokers!Ported&Polished wrote:Looks nice, but 2500 max imo.

Why don't you guys work all this out outside of Ebay and save the fees?atank wrote:Yeah, its my bike I hope to get $3000, I am bidding on Mik's AF on ebay now. If I don't get Mik's bike I have a 2005 CR250 with a bad engine, and I have another 1999 CR500 engine to go in it.

Little things like frame mods, nice new plastic, the best graphics kit, rebuilt forks, shocks, new tires, chain, sprockets, pipe, hand guards, steering & wheel bearings, brake pads, new levers, new seat cover, new sparky packing, 60 hours build time, 10 cases of beer, nagging wife, barking dog, busted knuckles, etc.Ported&Polished wrote:Looks nice, but 2500 max imo.
