Cheap Project Bike, Under $500?

Hey guys, my Dad and I are looking for any sort of bike that isnt working, but is still repairable, is it possible to get a Suzuki or Honda or something like that for under $500, not working, preferablly either an 80cc or 125cc. Otherwise we'll just look around for some Pitpros or something like that that arent working. Can somebody please please point me in the direction of where I can get something like this? Ive been looking on Bikesales but all of them seem to be working, same goes for Ebay mostly. Are their any Sites/Stores that specialise in bikes that are in need of a bit of work to get them going again??

Thanks for your time,


Borci88

You shouldn have any problems finding a china that dosent work (try the tip). If you want a project dont even consider a china get a jap bike (i am aware that my bike is a china before anybody decides to point it out) .

Really? Sounds good then, Always prefer a Jap over anything, but if it means getting an 80's RM80 or something, then I'd just prefer a Pitpro because the 80s/90s ones look pretty crappy Visually, imo, Just dont like the look of them. Can I only go to the Tip? Where else? Are there Bike Scrap heaps, and places like that in Melbourne?
