There are to many variables.

1- what type of chassis
2- what brand
3- what type of riding
4- how much do you want to spend

Need more specific info. Are you going to race it, like drag racing or GNCC or motocross?

Is this for a dune machine or just a every day trail machine

I give $75 for a complete basket case YZ 465 with a ported 490 top end. The 465 has a 5-speed and the 490 has a 4-speed. If you are wanting the water cooled version, plan on spending a lot more.

I was just at a race in the tacoma dome and a dude was moppin' them up with a Mojave w/ a Z400 engine. That looked killer and hauled track.

I wouldnt use a crf450 or a yz426 motor for the GNCC's. There not good motors for tight woods racing.
