Title: Now this is what you really need to race a four-stroke in motocross!!
Post by: JohnN on October 07, 2010, 07:27:02 AM: This is a photo from Lowell Spangler's garage....

Yes he got some help from Kawasaki for the past few years... but a pile of those bikes are practice bikes and a couple are modified race machines....

That might cost a few dollars!

Post by: JETZcorp on October 08, 2010, 03:50:09 PM: If they're any sort of modified to race on a professional level, I'd put them at a lot more than $40K. And I thought my dad's garage had a lot of money sitting in it!

Post by: oldmxracer on October 09, 2010, 03:49:23 AM: Those bikes are pretty much the standard "deal". I have an aquaitance who had a factory support ride back in the day and had 9 125's in his dad's shop. He suddenly quit racing and a truck was sent to pick them up. He had NOTHING left to ride.....
