      Yeah sure!


      I just paid $175 for a '81 850 MNS that was missing headlight, carbs and airbox but had a good motor, seat and tank. Thought it was a little high.

        I couldn't believe it either, 850s go for about 600-900 bucks around here when they show up. Thats a whole bike that runs...

                  (seca is scrap, MNS salvagable)

                    I bought Little Mo on Ebay last winter for $150.00. It took a little work, but it is one sweet little ride!
