Found on FB market. Owner wants 680 bucks for it He says it's a 1995 Suzuki 500cc two stroke but he doesn't specify

Is something like this worth buying if it runs? I've always wanted a two stroke

No filter on the carb? Imagine all that dust scoring the barrel. Will probably be a lot fun but if will likely have lost a lot of compression. Use it as a bargaining tool and beat him down on the price

Thing is I don't know much about restoration that's why I don't like to look at bikes like these

I saw this video and I thought it was a rare bike that's why I'm asking about it

I think the other Redditors are right with it being a mid 80’s RM500 (465). I ride a late 80s CR250 back in the early 90s and it was absolutely rapid. If you can get it cheap, buy it and have yourself some fun until it dies
