if hes gone to the trouble of never putting gas or oil in it, Id say he would have a pretty good idea of what its worth...

if you can successfuly low ball him I will assume you used a jedi knight trick

New in box '73 Elsinore. Its a historic bike (first 2T from Honda). Would not be surprised if the owner wants 10k for it. Bike belongs in a bike history museum somewhere.

For 10k, I'd ride it once and then put it in my living room.

what's this worth?

NADA values museum quality restorations at $7800. 
If this bike is legit and is still new in the crate, I
would estimate it's value at $10,000.

I would love to see some current pictures of a brand new
1973 CR250M.

Here's a pic of my 74 when I sold it in 2005... Those handle bars were soooo wide...  Check out my "trick" stand.   8)





Yes the exhaust has been changed, I still had the original tires too... (the original exhaust and tires went with the bike)

Those are collectors, especially with the vintage race crowd. I would expect that bike, if legit, to go for between$5-$10k.

Price would be hard to gauge in the curent economic climate, pre=GFC might have seen $15k or more Think closer to 10 than 5k

I would love to see a the bike itself!
If it never has been started/serviced then I really think it belongs in a museum.

idk what i would do with a bike like that, probably either dont touch it whatsoever and have it in my house, or ride it a little bit only on special occasions

In 20 years that thing might pay for your kids college.

I know I said it should be on exhibit but I sure would be tempted to put a pint of premix in it and run it around just a tad :-X

congrats!
