There's no standard pricing guides for that.

It'll depend upon the size and condition of the machine, demand for one (usually very low to non-existent in developed countries), where in the world you live and the time of year as prices will be higher when the machine is needed.

But mostly the price will depend upon how much someone offers when the machine is offered for sale. As demand is so low don't be surprised if it's valued for its weigh-in value for scrap metal alone, after deducting any transportation and dismantling charges to remove any parts which need to be discarded as being worthless (wooden/leather/rubber parts) or which need weighing separately (non-ferrous metals).

If you're new to bikes, do yourself a favour and star with something not too big - I'd say 600 is already too much for a beginner, you'll just kill yourself on it. Also, don't buy brand new, that's an expensive buy in any case, and as a new rider you'll inevitably drop the bike a few times in the first year or two, and it will hurt you a lot less to put a scrape on a bike that already has one or two, than to put the first one on previously mint bike. For the same reason don't go for a fully-faired bike, one of those semi-faired ones is much easier to live with.

Something like the Honda CB is a pretty good all-rounder.

Or if you do want a brand new bike, then the new BMW G 310 R looks like an interesting one, as well as being just about the only small bike from that quality marque.

I have a Korean Honda 125 Clone ( DR 125) for around town.

I also have a recently restored 1968 BSA 441 Shooting Star that I only ride on perfect days.

Guys speeding down my road - I'm now level headed?

So let me explain while I'm not ready to kill someone. There are these guy's (younger) who used to ride atv's and throw HMF exhaust on there. How do I know? It's my neighbors grand kids. They would top them out when going on the road. Now, let me skip to now. These people (brothers) are early 20's, mid 20's, and late 20's/ early 30's. They still live with their mother (right down the road) who bought all three of them Dodge Challenger's (Hemi). Now don't get me wrong, I have ridden my bikes/atv's on the road too. I just obey the speed limit (most of the time, I've been known to speed a couple times [6]) and keep in low RPM's. But they have been flying by my house at 100+ mph and they are going to hit one of my animals. So let me explain why I won't call the cops. One, my neighbor is old and her husband is losing his mind. He's basically like a very stupid dog that doesn't listen at this point. Yeah, I know it's a bad comparison. Anyways, she's having a rough time. And if I call the cops on them, she will pay bail. Second, I ride on the road frequently, but slowly. So if cops start patrolling these roads, I'm ******. I won't be able to get my learners permit/license till I'm 18, if they don't ban me from getting one. Though I would pull over for a cop. So aside from calling the cops, and keep in mind I will slash their tires if I get agitated enough, what can I do to stop them from going as fast or speeding at all? Also they bring their friends down these roads too.

Quite a bit to read I know but just looking for some answers on my 2001 Yamaha TTR125l.?

So I have new top end in mail. I recently bought 2001 TTR125L it s been smoking white smoke out the muffler, has some strong smell Alrighty, I m thinking it s the oil ring. There s oil coming out the muffler. I can slip my finger in muffler and get a black finger. I figured well since ya know it s a nice day and top end is mail I ll take it for a ride today. I bought some oil,spent about 2 hours riding around. Practiced some wheelies. Had to put chain back ona couple times. lol! anywho! riding around I get home and then the bike just dies. Still have oil, gas, the petcock is on. After the bike wouldn t start kicking and kicking and kicking I tried. I heard this weird growling noise. I couldn t really tell where it was coming from the muffler or air box. I checked air box didn t see much. I kept listening finally it stopped. Sort of sounded like gulping sounds. I couldn t figure it out I seen some gas on the rear of my frame somehow though but no leaks. So, as frustrated as I was I went inside ate some food. I go back outside and it would kick so I gave revved it a little bit well trying and it started. Shut it off and I tried kicking again. Wouldn t start so I went back and fourth on the throttle again started right up. I really hope this new top end is going to fix the bike. Any ideas what that gulping could have been?

You seem to have a mainland Chinese style excersize, not a actual 'chopper' made from a actual motorcycle that you could disclose basis of. A Honda 4 with basic Honda front wheel-even without brake would have the speedometer drive hub and a simple dual sport removable speedometer kit would work- $99.95 from Honda dealer. A bit more for a Harley cable and speedo with drive from the transmission- but available over counter. Limey based with rear wheel drive for cable? So get the old drive and cable, speedo unit from the classic parts dealer. Do you have a tachometer? then just have someone pace you at 30mph, 50 mph ,75 mph and note the RPM and gears, tape a note in plastic cover to handlebars or gas tank until you memorize the RPM/speed ratio. IF you 'Chopper' is a Harbor Freight engine in Pep Boys frame, then might be harder to find a speedo drive--might have to get a friction drive bicycle kit or a magnetic sensor kit, put small magnetic on front or back wheel rim and pickup sensor on frame or fork tube with a 1/8 inch gap for pickup, count of wheel turn- then set speedo to so many turns at circumference = speed. as for losing phone--Duct Tape and zip ties are common rat bike features. SO, WHAT KIND OF 'CHOPPER"? What did engine start out as? Front end, front wheel? I remember a Panhead engine based hard tail with springer- front wheel was from Honda Trail 90 or whatever the leading link front end utility was called and that gave a legal front brake and a speedometer, headlight taken from the Honda 90 frame, passed inspection Illinois. Honda 750 front ends with disc brakes also had speedo drives- that got a couple other choppers with equipment tickets through inspection.
