What's Honda Motorcycle worth?

[Rivershot]

I had one in the early 90's. Loved that bike. One of the bikes I wish I wish I hadn't sold.

I'd like another someday, but the only way I'd get this one is if it was free and brought to me.

Fairly pedestrian bike, certainly no performer. I remember test riding one when the were new. The front end impact makes it a challenge. Replacing the forks my be a real challenge. Possibly bent the frame a bit.

I've been looking for something like that for while. Without the fork damage it might go for $750+ on ebay or CL. As it stands, who knows, but I'd check you can find some fork tubes, (at a minimum), that'll fit before touching it. Also inspect the headstock, if that's moved, walk away.

You'd have WAY more than $1,500 worth of aggravation buying that thing and 'hoping' all the systems are good.
Just buy this and ride it. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/mcy/d/kennesaw-1981-honda-cx500-custom/7503078726.html
Infinitely more usable bike (in that size).

Brakes $200, fork tubes $500, electric $20-$500, tires $200+, original headlight bucket $??? and a whole lot of labor and who knows what other little parts and such.

What's your goal?....that bike is worth more as a display...imho...riding that wouldn't be worth the risk....if you want to ride...get something with modern electronics...especially if you're old...nostalgia is like patina...you can relate to them..because like you...they are also old... ...

...and you still haven't addressed all the other damage and what in the world happened to all the turn signals and such.
