I know you’ve checked out the dealer’s show rooms and found even a modest used bike won’t fit in your limited budget.

Parts are readily available; new, used and NOS are just an eBay click away. Many Internet stores such as Bike Bandit, Dennis Kirk, Old Bike Barn and others have what you need as well. The Yamaha XS400RK Seca stripped and showing potential. Over the last 48 years I have acquired, enjoyed and sold 29 motorcycles; from miniscule 60cc entry-level 2-stokes to high-end Ducatis and BMWs. But the biggest bang for the buck are those transitional a'80s Japanese and Euro bikes sitting in some one’s barn, garage or back 40. A derelict non-runner can easily be brought back to their former glory, beauty and functionality. "Neglect" can be your friend - it is what makes these non-runners such true bargains. You’ll hear it all the time “it ran great when I put it away, but!” and that but means it’s been neglected and you just might have found the perfect candidate for your bike build on the cheap.

Another "but" is don’t be hasty; take your time and compare value, make offers hold out for the right bike at the right price. You shouldn’t pay more than $500.00 and often times less.

Resurrecting the dead two wheels at a timeI personally did five of these "on the cheap" builds last year with a 1987 BMW K75, 1982 Moto Guzzi V50, 1983 Yamaha XS650, 1983 Honda Shadow 750 and a 1984 Yamaha Virago 1000. I’m presently building what I call a bit of an orphan bike (only imported two years and parts are a bit scarce).
