Just bought 4 junk bikes -w- pics

[NYGunman]

I just bought four bikes for parting out on Ebay. The thing is I REALLY need a bike to ride. Are any of these bikes considered good for their times. They all need some work but I enjoy tinkering with the bikes. The bikes are:

1982 Kawasaki Spectra 750

1981 Kawasaki KZ650 CSR

1972 Honda CB 450 (not pictured)

They were all great bikes in the day...What did you pay for all those?

What are your intentions? If nothing else you will have fun working on them...

Kawasaki Spectra~$199
Yamaha SX 850~$275

I want to part them out. Maybe fix one up for myself.

That's cheap!

At those prices you are not going to be out anything...

Did you trailer them all back?
They all look more than viable...

People make some sweet cafe racers out of those CB 450s. A friend of mine has a '73 that he's getting running. There are parts for them all over the place.

I love the cafe racers but the CB 450 is beyond my skills. I did not post a pic because it is ugly and needs lots of work. I paid too much for it. I thought the gas tank and pipes were good. They are not. I can salvage some parts and make a few dollars though.

Are the hand controls in working order? Specifically, the kill switch? My friend needs one. His switch is shot.

He's also interested in a rear fender.

He's also interested in a rear fender. I am going to post it on Ebay this week. I start my auctions at $1 and combine shipping. I'll post a link here when it goes up. This way he might be able to get a deal. I will also have better pictures available.

Here is a better picture of the Yamaha. I will probably dismantle her today or tommorrow. Not too bad for $179 but I think I could have done better.

I think I'm going to repair the Kawasaki 650. Does anyone here have a tank for sale or know where I can get one for cheap?

i would try to sell atleast the xs 850 there if not all of them.
the favorite bike for these guys to turn into choppers are the xs's so you should get some interest there

A friend in missouri had the 1000cc version of the Kawi Spectre, he loved it.
