I would probably plan on restoring it. I'd clear a spot and get it on the stand. Order all kind of stuff, some it really would not need. Then the bike would be in my way. I would move it around 300+ times, finally settling on leaning it against the wall with all kinds of junk pile on it and hanging from it. One day I'd dig in a random box to find parts I ordered for this damn YZ. They have been sitting so long the ink is gone from the receipt and the foam filter is turned to dust. I'd feel bad and repeat the process. Then it would end with a phone call to one of the many people that said "you ever get rid a that, let me know I'd love to have it". I'd be so frustrated with it being in my way, at this point I'd just give it away with new parts and all. Hell I would have never rode it anyway. Not with a modern bike in the shop.

Yeah mostly true story. Twice actually. One was a street bike. I used to restore some stuff but lost interest. I'd rather maintain what I have and go ride!
