    I have been looking for one of these for the past 9 years. This one is in rough shape but it has all the parts plus some.
    Is this a bad idea? Should I avoid this? Maybe get it and sell it for parts?

    get it quickly rare bike. worst case you pick up another motor for it while you rebuild the motor , or slip a 750 motor in it

    the right side cover is worth a good portion of the cost of bike and 3 racks of carbs.
    3 airboxes 2 sets of cylinders many parts to be sold to fund the rebuild.

    Title of ad says $250. Text says $500. I know which one I'd choose to pay. You have no way to know if everything is there to make a complete bike, no way to know what's in the 3 carb racks, or if they belong to the 650r, but whatever is there has got to be worth 250. Even if it's just parts. I've been waiting for a 650 Seca to appear in my area, but they just don't pop up at all.

    Other issue is that I'm in California now, so I have to think about shipping too.
