MX 470? Good?

I had a guy give me (yes free) a '94 MX 470 (467) yesterday. It is in perfect shape, no cracks, tears, dents or bends and has a nice clean engine. Of course there is one problem one cylinder has no compression (brake side). The clutch side cylinder has 125 and it turns over easy so it doesn't seem to be a crank or other issue. I was going to part it out but after getting it home it is so clean and such a nice sled so I'm debating to just fix it. Two questions 1) how are these engines and the sleds in general; and 2) what process to go through diagnosing the cause of no compression on one side? I can get a new piston/rings but want to be sure I'm fixing the problem that caused it. Let me know if you think its worth fixing or if I should just part it out like I originally intended.

Thanks!
