How much is it worth? Big Bear

Have a 1987 Yamaha Big Bear 4 wheeler in very good condition. Have owned it for about 20 years. Rarely ever rode it and then to spot spray or pull a weed wiper --one summer. Paid $2800 for it.It needs nothing besides maybe a battery. Son wants to buy it to move cars around his body shop. Want to be fair to the both of us. TIA,bob

Might be able to get $1000 for it if it is in real good shape.

It's your son give it to him for half price.

$500

$1000 is about right for a very good condition
Like Gary said.... It is your son; cut him some slack.

Prices shown are retail consumer values and to be considered as selling prices.

Excellent — A very correct and original (even if it shows the patina of its age) or an exceptionally well-restored motorcycle. This category is reserved for concours or show quality machines only, in which everything on the machine is fully functional and operates as new. All equipment is original, new old stock (NOS) factory replacements or uses of excellent quality reproductions parts.

*Over restored machines (custom paint, over polishing or chroming) do not fit in this category as those activities detracts from the originality of the machine.

Very Good — A very presentable, original motorcycle that may show signs of minimal wear or a fully (mechanically and cosmetically) restored motorcycle that does not meet concours standards, perhaps due to the age of the restoration or overall quality. All systems are fully operational and the machine is not in need of repairs.

*Most non-professionally restored done correctly would fit in this category.

Good — A machine in nice condition for its age that may need some minor mechanical attention and cosmetic rejuvenation to be a “good rider”. Bikes in this category generally look used but are still usable, whether it is for dirt or street use. Frames should be straight and unaltered.

*The replacement of tires, tubes, brakes, chain, sprockets, air filters and other minor parts should be anticipated.

Fair — A motorcycle that is worthy core for restoration. This would exclude machines with major frame and engine modifications that would be cost prohibitive to return to original specifications. All mechanical and cosmetic aspects of the machine will need attention in the restoration process. This is a complete motorcycle with most if not all of its body, engine and suspension components intact, albeit in poor condition.

*Motorcycles with missing engines or major components are commonly referred to as “parts bikes” and are not covered in this category.

I agree with tomturkey. Give it to your son. You'll both receive a blessing.
