To part or not to part

[smvorndran]

I have a great running 86 200x, and I'm not sure whether to keep it around, or part it out. To make it a weekend warrior, I need to get a kick starter, hook up the rear brakes, & rebuild the back shock. The engine & plastics are all good. It rides fast & furious. I have about $400 in it. Should I keep it around for a spare ride, or part it? My 250SX is my main ride, and the 200X really isn't worth more than $300-$400. I know a few of you have contacted me for parts, but I'm just not sure I want to part a running X. Beat trikes are a no-brainer, but a decent trike is a hard sell.

Any thoughts?

I wouldnt part it the 86's/87's are the harder ones to find... you could fix it up for a couple hundred bucks and have a trike that IMOA is way better than an SX!

i would fix and keep it for sure. unless its real rough, its gotta be worth more than 400 if it runs good.

Honestly, I would keep it and fix it. I have had a decent 1986 here that had a bad motor in it when I bought it, and I am going to hang on to it until I find a good motor. Like said in a previous post, the 1986-1987 models are not as easy to come by. And are pretty much nonexistant here.

This is a decision you will just have to decide for yourself man.
