Welcome to Retrobike, mid 80s to early 90s. Better pictures and close ups will narrow it down. Looks to be a nice quality bike. Edit 653 forks are an addition. Frame shows 531 fork blades etc

Thank you. I've just added additional pictures.

Edited my post That style of 531 transfer came out in 1982 and continued to 1989.

Any idea how much it would be worth? I'm thinking of selling it

Would it be worth restoring it or selling it as it is?

I think every bike is worth restoring, which is why they are coming out of my ears You aren't going to retire on the proceeds if restored. It would be a labour of love. You would have a nice, unique and rideable bike when finished. You may also enjoy the process.
