what do you guys think of this one?

Thinking about buying and doing a frame-off restoration. Seller says its a barn find. No idea if engine turns. He wants 600 for it and doesn't know what year it is. O and it is missing the carb. Any info you could extract from the picture would be great.

I have one I'm restoring this year. It's a super low tech over head valve single,
5-6 hp top speed 55mph downhill, 125cc. Capt Paul

From the pic, it looks to be missing the headlight, front fender, carb. Personally, I would not pay $600 for it. You also should be aware that these bikes are not worth much - you see them in running shape on ebay and craiglist in the $1000 range. Having said that, I have 2 that I am working on and CaptPaul is right - they are small and not too fast.

Good luck !

I'd pass, too- trying to scour the world for parts will frustrate you no end. Wait and try to find a 250 or 350 single that's restorable instead, it'll be much more rewarding and easier to do.

This one is not for the faint of heart or thin of wallet.

That bike sure looks like it passed it's endurance and longevity test tho with a little help from some MX forks (proabably work alot better than the stock ones)
