Honda CR 500 R dirtbike. how do I find out how much it's worth?

[scarabrick2]

1986 cr500r used, but not really to abused. Fresh moto,r bunch of parts and a new carb. How do I find out how much it's worth? don't have the title (live in Vegas) but it still has an old green sticker on it. Someone one here has a connection to get the title and I will pay for it if needed.

If you stop by your local Honda dealer they will usually look it up for you and tell you a realistic figure too.
That's how I do it, and it seems to be pretty accurate.
Some of them are very desireable.

If I could start it I would love to have that bike.

Starts usually in three kicks. I prime the jug by rockin it back in forth in 3rd gear, kill button pressed ,grabbing the front brake and after that two to three kicks ur good to go.

Brian,
starting is a breeze. Mine starts first kick hot or cold. You need to learn the "ritual" and you will be home free.

Just run a Cycle Trader search. I'm guessing $2,000 to $2,500 but I'm not a Honda guy so I am not too familiar with the values on those bikes.

My 150lb ass can't develop enough torque to move the kick starter.
Believe me, I have tried.

If you think the 86's are hard to start, don't buy a 85. Honda backed those bikes off every year after they went to H2o cooled. I ran the 85 - 87 - 92 then the 95 before making the move to the YZF400. I loved the big Honda's. Went through a lot of rear break pads & rotors trying to tame the beast.

I had an 85 for one year then bought a brand new 90. The 85 made the 90 feel like a 250 when starting.
We used to joke...If the tiny japes had to start their own bikes.....we would not have this problem. Hiring sumo wrestlers for kick start market studies does not count.
And a YZ400 of the first year was also a major starting PITA. Pull the knob, push in the red know, pull the lever, kick through to just past TDC, release the lever, push in the red knob.....WTF where is the nearest hill?:D :D
I also had an XR600R with the dual carbs. Lean that thing over, take a fall and your walking. Period.:D

[killerbeez]

I would think right in the range of $1200-$1500.$1500 if it is in really good condition.I have seen the 2000-2002(last year made) go for $2200-$2500.

[scarabrick2]

I was thinking I could get (would tAKE) a grand. $ 1000.00
I'll put it up4 sale hear and there and see what happens. Bike sat on a stand most of it's life with me. since i say like 94 !!!

Anybody looking just for something to ride in the dirt and play around on, that year, clean, and running... 1000 to 1500 max.

[Mrs.charitycase]

CC is looking for a CR500 but I think he wants newer....it's a popular bike....I am sure you won't have a problem selling it.

Ha, that made me laugh.
I had an XR500 (!) before I went to the CR5. You are not kidding about walking....

The BIKE IS OLD SCHOOL... BUT I STILL THINK YOU COULD GET $1000.00-$1200.00 FOR IT . YOU STILL SEE THE OLD BIKES AT THE DUNES AND DESERT RIDING AREAS

Let me check with my buddy. He may intrested. He has a 86 right now but it needs a right side case and water pump cover and he cant seem to find any.

[THOR]

One correction, the CR 500's were last made in 2001. Your 86' should go for about $1200 or so give or take how clean it is.

[scarabrick2]

not really to clean. needs bars,brake lever, have spare sub frame(straight) as the one one it is bent. also have spare rear fender, manual, odds and ends. has rad valve kit, good tires, However, they tend not to last very long when ur on the throttle a lot :)

Nada guides say about $330. :)

[scarabrick2]

where did you find the price of your boat you were trying to sell for ever?
If I were to look it up on NADA I'm sure it's worth a 1/4 of what you paid for. :-) Hope the sale went well if you sold it.
THANKS fro looking it up for me :)

If the bike is clean and runs good, it is worth about $750-1000. You can get a 91 or newer for 1500.00 which is a whole newer generation of bike. And yes I love them. I heve one as my desert bike. It eats 450's for breakfast. When my son is tapped out on his 450, I still have a gear left.:)

Thats about what I was thinking. start @ a grand and throw in the spare parts/manual/lube/oil ect.... Should have no prob getting 900-1000 bucks..
