IF you find the part that's broken. Sure piston, tubes, rings, connecting rod, those are easy to find for most motorcycle, but then you have parts that can be a nightmare and let's not even talk about fairing.
Plus you need to be somewhat lucky to find an old motorcycle that is just ready to roll.

You are quite lucky because that's a fairly simple 2 smoker. I have an 80s Kawasaki, that i'm still looking for it, some kips parts
