Pictures and location are really needed to help you try to get a ballpark... Then it a matter of finding a buyer that will pay what you want.

Hi,
Ok the Model 96 Dirt Squirt is one of the most popular Hodakas made IMHO...
I will tell you there are a few things on these bikes that really matter.
- The RIGHT 2.0 gal tank in good condition. Inside and out.
- The RIGHT Rear fender without HOLES drilled in it for light or mud flap
- The RIGHT front fender without the same holes drilled. Not that this is real bad but stock was not...
The rest can be obtained and what not. If you snap a pic of the back, sides, and front it would help....
Prices can be all over the place. I just missed a beautiful Model 96 that sold on Craigs list for 400 dollars last year. Then you see something more seasoned like this one appears to be sell for 800 to 1000 on EBAY so... Hard to really say.
One thing you can do is watch EBAY and look at completed auctions for selling prices of bikes that actually sell.
Hope this helps at all...

Thanks Bob there are no holes in fender where lights have been but believe there are mud flaps on fenders.. I don't know much about the hodakas but im just going to make sure when I sell I get a reasonable price because it runs and rides excellent most reliable bike I have ever had and know if they are in good condition they can fetch a pretty penny for the year... Because there seems to be a lot of enthusiast in the hodaka world and I know why because they are a good running bike but that's for the info and if anyone wants to purchase mine im located in ohio

Sounds good... And your welcome. Nice bike... Get some more pictures and put it up here in the for sale section. Also Craigs List is good... Ebay usually fetches the best prices I guess... Never sold one that way. I usually sell my bike for less as I INSIST that anyone that buys a bike from me needs to appreciate it for what it is and not just ride in into the dirt and throw it away... HOWEVER, I guess I could be convinced to compromise that standard if offered enough...
Just at a glance I would see that bike in the 800 - 1000 range. I bought one about like it for 500 but that was a few years ago and I got a good deal... My brother is racing that bike in AHRMA Cross Country and won his class in the Nationals last year! He loves it..
A very nice bike you have indeed!

The 96 squirt had holes in the front fender for mudflaps.
You can see it here:

SO your fender is probably original.
