What's my bike worth. 2001 E plated with cylinder works big bore, MRD exhaust. New tires tubes wheel bearings seals chain and sprockets with less than 5 miles riding on them. Extra rear rim with rotor, sprocket, new bearings and seals with paddle tire. Taller street sprockets and chain, original exhaust cylinder and piston. Runs great with Michigan motorcycle title. Service manual as well.

What ever a local buyer is willing to pay look at past sales in your area base it off that

Do a lot of people and places I associate with a motorcycle that’s been opened up by anybody other than a trusted know shop it’s just a parts bike there after

Somebody else may look at all the work you’ve done as a plus

In Alberta Canada. $2750 list price with all the extras. Take $2250 for it, that's if you find anyone interested in a 17 year old dirt bike (not street-legal).

When I was shopping for a dual sport very skeptical on any bike with a big bore- did it blow up, was it abused, who did the rebuild, etc.

You forgot the unknown of bigbore brand. You can buy a no name kit for less than $200 on eBay. I've seen pictures on here of unknown pistons that absolutely shattered...

That said a big bore when done correctly is a very worthwhile modification for this engine. The engine already has 450 class sized valves. The larger bore effectively unshrouds them which contributes to the gain.

At the end of the day the DRZ is a dirt bike and the same rules apply as an used dirt bike. Dirt bikes tend to be used and abused. If you're not a savvy mechanically inclined person experienced with dirt bikes than it is best to bring someone along that is to careful inspect the bike prior to any purchase.

The BB is a cylinder works....on my local craigs list most stock drz's look terrible in pictures and ask way more than I was asking. I will repost at $2600

I have a 2001 E model plated as well. I rebuilt my upper but kept it stock. Based on what I see online in my area, I'd price my bike's value at about $3,000. My bike is about the same as yours as far as condition as well. S models routinely go for $4,000 around me. Sorry to say that I don't think your upgrades would result in much of a return on investment. Maybe a $200 difference but I could see it cutting the other way.

As others said, it is a dirt bike and there are many like it, but what I think sets this bike aside from other bikes is the easy maintenance schedule. I just picked up a CRF450r and I'm shocked at the difference. As you know, you can go for quite awhile before needing an oil change vs other bikes in its class, or what I would argue is its class.

If I were you, I wouldn't focus on the fact that it has a big bore kit. I would focus on realiability and let the ride and power when they blip the throttle speak for itself and focus on how a new DRZ-E owner could go an entire season without maintenance worries while getting nearly same same performance as a large engine MX bike.

Paddle tire would be turn off for me, I'd leave it out of the ad and sell it later.

Thought the same thing, nothing says "rev limiter" like a paddle tire.

Paddle Tire = Ridden in sand. 

Sand = not your grandma's backyard, its very tough on engines.

So the guy with the paddle makes me thing the bikes's been whooped.  Plus the big bore. Which makes me thing he blew up the bike on the dunes.

This time of year, in MI, you'd be lucky to get $2K. In April, you might get $2.5K

[Stuwy123]

I'd leave out the sand tire.

Parting out goodies always nets your more money than lumping everything together.
