Its a piece of shit gen 1 bike, so $1000 tops. honestly the gen 1's are weak links and you will make more parting it out.

they have a flywheel issue, shitty transmission, weak cam chain tensioner, shit for wheels, and are just generally junk. a 2nd gen is a MUCH improved bike over the 93 and earlier models. dont spend money on any pre 94 EX500 again, it wont earn you any profit.

Interesting business concept...sounds like it'll go far. Have you talked to Trip the Admin about possible sponsor stuff?

Good luck with the 500 btw...
