I paid $20 for this a few years back....and it ran. That one doesn't have holes in the side of the tank, so at least $40

Its your first bike. In my eyes thats priceless. Even if it only goes around the block from time to time, I'd keep it for the memories alone

Best answer to your own question. Do a quick refurb letting your grandkids being hands on. Even I couldn't afford to pay you for that experience.

[motormonkey]

Great pit bike.No way I'd sell it. If you did tho, you can get at least get a few hundred or more.

 

[BHC Vic]

I’d pay a few hundred at least I’m sure you could get more from the right buyer

If this is your first bike, why would you ever get rid of it? I would die to get back my JR50.

 

[Mandelon]

Finish the resto on it. I think it's cool.

You see what old bikes are getting on BAT.com lately? Trail 70's are selling for $3500!

My first bike was a 1979 JR50. I actually still have it.

 

[ford 4x429]

Can you still get parts from "DG" They were go to for my old 74 honda elsinore granted that was early 80's

 

[coolchange]

Still have a MR 50

 

[dezrtracer]

I say keep it . You can never have too many bikes . Wish i kept all my bikes I owned . So far only kept 13.

 

[boatnam2]

Normally you would pay someone $50 to haul it away, 2020 price who knows what people will pay. I had a brand new RM 100 back in the day, they had a 100 class you could race in before going to 125's. I will always remember that bike for the big dent it had on top of gas tank my balls left after a good get off.

old 1979 Suzuki rm80 kids dirt bike rm-80. Pitbike? - motorcycle...

Relive memories or create new ones with your kids or grandkids. Perfect first bike for a youth,...

seattle.craigslist.org

only older one i found nationwide on cl. most were newer mono shock 80's and highest asking i saw on those was 1400.

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

I vote keep it!

But get on some of the vintage mx forums some of those guys will pay a ment for these old bikes. Some restore them and some buy them for spare parts!

 

[Mcob25rg]

I would pay alot to get my first bike back. ABSOLUTLY DO NOT SELL IT !!!!!!! Make it run, stop, tell stories, DONE!!!!!

 

[SkyDirtWaterguy]

Don’t sell it! In 1978 I was 10yrs old and had a 1974 Honda XR75 and wanted a Suzuki RM80 bad lol. [emoji23] brings back memories [emoji1303]
I was at Bert’s a few years ago and there is my exact XR75 on display above the checkout counter. I actually thought it might be my old bike. I asked Ron about it and offered to by it. He wouldn’t sell it.

That's great! I literally rode mine until the countershaft sprocket was bald. Everybody had a JR50 I think!

 

[Todd Mohr]

Keep it, great memories for sure. Here's my first and current rides-

 

[outboard_256]

I don't think its worth much in the condition its in. Parts for these old bikes can be hard to find and get expensive. If it was restored it would probably be worth money but as it sits its basically a project.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

It's worth a few hundred at least.

 

[gqchris]

like 10 years ago I had some 1978 Bike I bought for a couple hundred bucks. It was a Thumper. Thing was a bitch to kick. I parted it out. In the end on Ebay and a few months, I wanna say I made about 2k! I shipped all over the world. It was a pain in ass, but I got it done eventually. Even down to a last bag of nuts and bolts.

 

[mbrown2]

78 RM80 was my second bike....I would say keep it and restore it....follow a couple vintage MX pages on Instagram and I am always blown away by the restores....get a warm feeling in my stomach when I see freshly restored 74-76 Elsinore 125 or 250...

 

[boatnam2]

My first bike i raced on was a xl70, got blown away so my Dad bought me a used tricked out xr75 from the owner of harbor city honda that his kid raced. It would take 10 minutes to start it and still got blown away by the 80's lol.

 

[nameisbond]

My first bike at nine was a Honda 50. My brother is two years older and had the same RM80. When I was older, rode it a bit. Sadly my mom donated them to a high school shop class. Keep it!

 

[Spudsbud]

Had a YZ80 in the mid 70's..... I'd say its worth $250.00 if it runs.....

 

[Spudsbud]

Speaking of little cruisers. you know what sells like hotcakes for stupid $$$ Those little "KittyCat" snowmobiles for little kids Arctic cat made for a few years. I'm talking thousands.... surprised no manufacturer remade them.
