Would you fix up this old motorcycle to like new condition?
I just bought a 1978 Suzuki Rm 50 the other day for $250.00 . My plans were for a friend of mine to learn to ride a motorcycle.I thought a little one would be the best to start out on This little motorcyle runs very good for a 30 year old motorcycle. Then i thought wow its 30 years old and still going strong and a antique. so after my friend learns to ride it should i restore it to new condition or not?

if you have the time and enjoy it why not!
depend on you and how much you want to keep it going…. parts would be hard to find i think but hey…. its always worth a shot to keep something good running… but im sure you would spend more than its worth
I would, should you? If you can do the work yourself, you will find it very rewarding and affordable, apart from the occasional hard to find part. E-bay and craigslist are two very good sites for cheap parts, be sure to download snarfer to automatically search for what you need for you!
I love 50cc bikes, there is just something about them that makes me grin from ear to ear every time i twist the throttle
I agree with the others. It's a pretty rare thing to still find one of those little bikes still in one piece and running I ride a Harley dresser, but if i ran across that particular bike still running I probably Colldn't let it go and I'd probably restore it and just hang on to it for the fact that it's rarity. You never know someone might just want it bad enough to pay you a supid price for it.Either way I don't see how you stand to lose anything. Have fun with that little critter!
