CB250 Superdream 1981 (Keep or Sell) ??

Hi all

Please have a look at my 1981 superdream photos attached.

I bought this bike as a project to keep me occupied and my brain active as I am retired and had various BSA Bikes back in the 1960's

and enjoyed the maintenance of the bikes.

I have a dilemma as to sell or keep until it becomes a classic bike in 3 years time.

I bought bike back in April it had 26318 miles on clock and had a MOT until next Jan.

It started first press on starter and run Ok.

But it was very uncared for was very dirty all over, and the seat had to be replaced .

Under the seat the frame was very rusty and also exhaust system was rusted and holed.

So I embarked on a full as possible restoration without having to remove engine.

So fitted new seat & complete new Motad exhaust system.

I have treated and painted any rust and given it a full service which was to replace or repair any parts that was neaded (the list of parts and service is too log to list)

I had spent hundreds of hours in cleaning and polishing and fully servicing everything
.  
I paid £1495 for bike and have spent about £900 on parts and items to carry out a complete service and adjustment of everything.

So I would need to sell for £2395.00 to break even and buyer would get hundreds of hours work for free.

Only thing left is a dent  on top of tank which I have had a estimate of £350 to repair.

So opinions please would I get a price to break even or will price increase if it becomes a classic bike in future.

Best regards
