That appears to be a 1980 420 MC80 KTM that obviously needs a lot of work. Hard to put a value on it in parts. Mike

Stephen,

If you go to ebay and search under "completed auctions" for the individual pieces then you can see what other parts have attracted.  You will need to pay very careful attention to condition, and account for the fact that it is only a rough guess since lots of factors affect why someone is willing to enter a transaction, and many of them are not necessarily rational and therefore not good predictors.  Forget about "buy it now" asking prices they are useless for this purpose-- you want completed transactions.

Factor in whether you want to disassemble, pack, ship, list, deal with emails, complaints, questions, etc.  It will take a little time but your own research will lead you to about as good a guide as anyone else and within the limitations stated above it will be verifiable.  It goes without saying that the sum of these prices do not equate to the value of a partially disassembled bike in the yard, which I'd expect to be lower by a wide margin.  Good luck!:)

Mars Attacks!

Looks to be fairly complete, minus tank and seat. Make someone a nice project start, or you could parts it out. It's probably worth more in parts than as a whole, unless you find someone who wants that particular unit. If I was more into the "big bore" units, I'd take a shot at it, but it doesn't fit in my group.

I'll start. $400 and I can pick it up Saturday morning.

Take the $400 and run. Bought my '79 420 for $200, motor all together and ran good once old gas drained out. Original bore, tight. This pipe a lot better though, but mine had a gas tank. Guy had it on Craigslist 2 months, started at $500.

GREAT evo bike and great power, a favorite now. Just won't bring a lot of $s when race ready and all sorted, so tough to start with too much in it.
