Is a 1986 yamaha 1100 road bike worth 50 bucks if it does not run? and...

...how much would it be worth if running? it is in good shape and also clean, has compression , i think it may be dirty carbs.

Even a Jap bike gotta be worth $50
Mag gave a close guess for it running

if you can get it running and ridable without a lot of new parts, it's a steal. If you can't, you can either call it a learning experience, or a great way to waste $50 and a lot of time.

be careful, running doesn't make it safely ridable. Check the tires, brakes and all the controls.

I totally think it is, if it is in good condition, I would ask for more than $50.
