The 500 classic according to kelly blue book, the trade in value is worth $1085.00. The 500 classic touring (assuming it is a 1999, you did not list that) is worth $1185.00 trade in value. the trailer should be worth $500-$600 atleast. offer $2500.00 for the total package and see if he bites on it. If he does, I would say you got a nice deal.
the trailer is a coverd wagon I would say the trailer if 8.5 wide is good for 1600 or more in under 8ft wide 1100.the prob is he still knows what he payed and it is going to sting bad knowing the 430MI cost him about 30 bucks a MI.just tell him the blue book and check his reaction and play it from that point.you dont want to piss him off or he may say f it I will keep them before I give them away.like I sed let him know blue book let that soak in and then ask him in a few days if he has fig a price yet or he may say ok just give me 2500 and get this <font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font><font color="ff0000">•</font> out of my yard I am sick of mowing around it .eather way that fuji 500 rocks I have seen a few with over 8k on them
Elec start? If so new batts, new plugs, drain the gas, add a can of seafoam in each tank and refill, drain the oil and refill with fresh, grease all the zurks and see what happens.
I would at least see if they will start before making an offer but I would do the above work which is minimum after you buy them. If it doesn't work them most likely the carbs will need to be pulled and cleaned/rebuilt. $2,600.00 if running, $2,000.00 if not.

I sold a package very similar to this two winters ago. They belonged to our local HS principal who had MLS. He has passed on now. They had slightly more miles and the trailer was a FLOE clamshell. I believe that entire package sold for about $2500. I would say if they run etc as mentioned above, and the trailer is a ramp as you say- the package should easily bring $3500. If you don't buy them let me know via PM. Maybe I would.
