    How you did depends on what you paid but I wouldn't call it junk by any means, there is potential there.

    I saw those on craigslist, you did okay. Going forward it depends what you want from the bikes. If you are just looking for a rider, then that will be your best option. Anything more than that and you are going to end up sinking a lot more money into them. But I would say with some por15, a crf50 carb, new chain, and a few other little things, you could have a good runner in the bunch. Good luck with the projects.
