It's going to be expensive if you really want to restore it, considering how much is missing. If you just want to make a trail bike out of it, that's another story.

I say restore it. Those bikes are a heck of a lot of fun! And it'll look nice in your garage.

I think if it's your first and only keep it and use it for learning purposes . Work on it a little at a time. Keep your eye out for another and then maybe decide to keep or sell
Question is. " When do you think you will find another one '. JMO

With all that's missing, just getting it running will be expensive.

Good bike to tinker and learn on a little bit... The basic engine is very similar to the 175 and 125. I'd keep my eyes open for another one though.
