Here is one you can use for comparison. I have seen them go for alot more on Ebay. Like Chris stated earlier, it depends on who restored it and how. Many guys consider a used motor with good mechanicals and is running with a new coat of paint and decals a "restored" motor. Others would call that nothing of the sort. Find out what was done. A true restoration would include a complete strip down, evaluating all components of the complete motor and refurbishing or replacing worn or damaged parts to bring the motor back to "as new showroom condition". If the seller can not tell you with some kind of proof that the motor was truly restored, bid accordingly or pass on it. The motor in the ad below is advertised as a beautifully restored motor. I can pick out 3 things in the intro photo that says it’s not. Can you?
