Those Chinese engines are around 100$, the bike maybe another 75$ to 100$ depending on where you're located.

Around here , providing the Engine runs properly - $200.00 to $250.00 is pretty common . Just checked local Craigslist and saw this : https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/bik/d/silverdale-motorized-bicycle/7305048390.html - It's close ,but not the same. Just wanted to give a quick example . I own a motorized bike with this engine in it. It does pretty good though I have not put many miles on it. Just don't pay too much for the bike Here's my set up .

The entire bike looks Chinese to me. That would be a hard pass. V/r Shawn

The bike is 1980s or newer. The Chinese engine is a base model. No high performance parts visible.
-The engine may work well if properly installed.
-The carb is not level, or parallel to the ground, so it does not appear to be properly installed.
-Offer $200 if it runs well. Otherwise, don't bother unless you just want to learn to tinker with engines.
On the other hand....
http://venicemotorbikes.com sells great motorized bikes, and the price reflects that.
