How much would you guys pay for this? I have been offered 7 ATC70's, 4 mostly complete, the others parts bike. A complete 83 250r with a new top end with gaskets, needs to be assembled, but complete. Complete 1985 350x with 2 spare rear fenders. And lastly a 185s. These have been sitting in the back of a warehouse for years at a motorcycle shop thats closing. Also some stock like cylinder heads and new tires. Basically a lot of stuff. Going to look at it tomorrow. I will get pics. He has made a offer that I think is outstanding. What would you guys value this at? He's a older guy that is wanting to retire and clean out his warehouse before selling. He wants to sell it all to one person. He is not interested in parting and selling. Please give me some feedback. This could be huge.

PS: This is why I am parting out so much stuff to raise some cash for this.

$2-2500? Sometimes lots dont bring as much as what the individual items in the lot would bring. The 350x and 83R are the money makers.

That's so hard to say with out knowing what each one needs. Pictures would help some what.

Definitly something to be ultra excited about though!

He made an outstanding offer..........I'll guess $1800 having a veiw point that they all need work and the guy isn't out to make a bundle.

That sounds like a fair offer if everything is in good mechanical shape. To me that is more important than cosmetics. How much work each one would need would also be a factor as well as how much you want each of the trikes. If you want to get some cash for one of the 70's and some parts let me know.

You say that they have been there for years? Could be worth 5 to 10K - who knows.... What if the 350X was mint? They grab an easy 3000$ or higher alone.

It's a question that cannot be answered without pics and descriptions.

I'm friendly with the OWNER of a Honda dealership and they threw everything away!! Didn't save so much as a brochure.... MORONS!!!!!!

if the most of the stuff is there, its worth it. no matter what, because you can part it all out and get that. if the x and r are complete, its worth.

Around here you would fetch about $500 for a running 70 in decent shape. A nice X about $2500. 83 R in nice shape about $1000 to $1500. A 185s, in running condition $100.

I went it looked at it all today. He does have a tone of parts. Numerous tanks, motors, brakes, and etc. Most of the trikes are only parts bikes. There is only one complete 70. 8 or 9 Frames with some fenders and partial motors. 3 or 4 200s or 185s part machines. Mostly just forks, frames, engine, and axles. The 250r and 350 are is good shape. None of the fenders are good in my opinion. The 350x has two motors that are taken apart. The 250r has all the parts for a new top end. Several packages of Honda rings. Really just a ton of parts. Well worth 1800, but not what I expected. I took some pics but they are horrible. The warehouse was not very well lit. He has 100's of motorcycle and dirt bike engines. He told me he was just going to scrape them all since aluminum is high right now. Had about 350 motorcycles. He said anything that dealt with ATC's was mine for the 1800. Really nice guy. He lost a daughter on a 3 wheeler years ago, thats why these have just been sitting. He had several selves of parts for ATC's also. He just wants to get rid of it all. Not interested in just selling the 250r and 350x. What do you guys think?

Anything under 200cc's around here isnt worth jack, unless its a mini quad, trike.

I think if you have the time and space to unload what you don't want that you could make allot of $$ to fix the 250R and 350X. One time I paid 400$ for a quad that made me 3000$ on top of that, one piece at a time....

Now, if it's all crappy then thats another story. Nobody wants to pay to ship plastic or frames unless they have to have it. Forks aren't worth much either. I guess you'll really have to take a hard look at the two big dogs and decide for yourself. With all that crap, you must be able to sell some of it off to make a grand or more I would think... But, do you have the time, energy and space. If you have a wife or a mom you live with, they may not appreciate it like you do.

My wife is all for it. If I bought it I would sell all the parts to fund the 350x and 250r rebuilds. Then when there done sell them. I not sure yet what I want to do.

I added pics on the first page but they are not very good. the warehouse was dark and they were scattered all over the place. If anyone is interested in the deal let me know. I will give you the guys info. I think I am going to pass on it.

What changed your mind? I guess the R and X need quite a bit of work??

Correct. They are the only ones that are mostly complete. The rest are mainly just frames and wheels.
