I'd keep an eye out on both Craigslist and also any active

cheap. You might also see if there is someone who repairs them,
who might have some in back that he salvages from.
Sounds like you are leaning toward 1-2. I'd prefer the 2-1,
but then I'm a sporty-car kinda guy.

Here's an example. Sounds like he values it around $500

Removing the "suspension" tires I'm not sure if I'd want the
unsupported axles on a road machine. The diff and brakes would be a
good start though.

I agree, this particular model is a lightweight 300cc.
Some of it's bigger brothers have a nice double-wishbone suspension
front and rear. Those also tend to be the models that get totaled
out more frequently, I'd imagine.
And when the 300s are totalled, the rear end is most likely severely
damaged.

Wonder what the dealer would do if I walked in with a tape measure and
started taking measurements and making sketches ...
I've found a few links , there's some very very good info out there among
all the weeds . I'm getting better at recognizing weeds ...
