Id probably take a chance on the first one....2nd one is too far gone. Ask yourself if you are good with wiring? If so go4it

Just noticed something on #1 also, look at the fairings.. the main fairing is different on each side near his knee, and also the wheel cover is in half, the muffler is even in half

If you can get either of them for $300 or $400 it's worth it just for the motor. You can't get a motor on eBay for less than $500.

I bought my 2000 250 in running condition with less than 3000 miles for $500.

You'd have to pay me to take those bikes from those owners.
