Back to the DR. Allmud, it sounds like you are somewhat committed at this point. I would realistically assess my mechanical ability and proceed from there. If the bike needs an engine rebuild and electrical work, I would personally run like hell, but that is my opinion. If the bike needs some small repairs here and there that you can handle, I say fix it and enjoy the bike. Speaking from experience, if you are looking for a cheap bike, it is best to buy one that runs...that way it is easier to assess repairs. I really have to know...how much did you pay for the bike?
