Take that thing apart and freshen it up. Probably the best Evo class bike ever.

Untouched.

I think I'll just have the suspension does and have the motor/clutch/tranny checked out this winter. Thrown on some different tires, pegs, bars/controls and ride the thing a while next summer.

I'll just see what it's like after riding nothing but 500's for so long. I'm the worst mechanic in the world and will only wreck it if I try to do much to it myself.

I'd rather not ruin it in case I end up selling it.

A man's got to know his own limitations......

Absolutely worth restoring!
Have no idea about value in Greece, but here in sweden it would go for about 800 euro.

Value depends on location for sure. Here in the U.S. vintage bikes on the west coast are much cheaper than the east coast. I guess it has to do with availability.

What a wierd wear pattern on the clutch case. I've ever seen wear from the top half of the cover like that from the boot.
I hope to have a 480 like yours with in the next few months
