Question motorcycle guys..question

don't laugh..i have a 1982 yamaha seca 650 turbo that i bought in miami back in 1992..it has not been driven since 1997, so oil has been leaking out of the seals for some time. i don't recall there having been a whole lot of turbo bikes made and i'm no expert..i just remember that this thing seemed damn fast when that turbo kicked in. don't think its top speed was more than maybe 135? but it got there in a hurry. is this poor bike salvageable? what sort of value does it have in non-running and running condition? hope some of you are familiar with the bike and will chime in..i've had local yocals offer to help rebuild it, but i've had my doubts to their abilities. i could post some pics of it later. anyway, it has around 15,000 miles on it i believe. silver fairings with a red stripe around it. lots of fun in miami back in my partying days..
