I have one local for $700 freshly rebuilt bottom and top, and I am debating about going and picking it up. Just need information about it. ;D
-
The KX's changed from 1998 to 1999 so which year is it?
-
really? I read that they had the same porting 98-99, oops. its a 98. And whats up with the resale value on kawi's?
-
I have a 2001 KX 250, and from 1999 - 2002, they were nearly identical bikes, The engine is pretty much the same from 1992 - 2001/02, the 02 motor has some differences (not exactly sure what they are), in 99-02 the frame has some different angles so the exhaust has some different bends than later models and the plastics were a little diff too. One of my ridin buddies had a 98 KX 250 and it was not very diff from my 01, it was set up for trails so the suspension was more plush and forgiving, but the power delivery was the same, it had a good strong hit that pulled hard to the midrange and kind of tapered off kind of quick at the top of the powerband. 8)

You should be able to get at least $1100 for a good running 98 KX250. maybe more.
-
I'll check it out, its either this or rebuilding the 85 atc250r. :-X
-
Buy the KX.If I remember correctly,it was bike of the year in most mags that year.

I will try to, but some expenses popped up, and I don't think I can afford it now. God it sucks being broke at 19.
-
It sucks worse being broke when you're older :D

I was just going to post pretty much the exact same thing. It is never fun to be broke, regardless of age :) .

Ill back you up on that! I'm only 17 but yeah it sucks! Especially when you work at a golf course so you dont get to work during the winter months!

Injuries are way worse then being broke. My father used to say "There's more then one way to skin a cat" and this is true for lousy finances but being hurt is a whole different matter.
By the way, my father meant that in a figurative sense for you nature lovers, he didn't mean to actually like grab the people next door's cat and skin the poor little guy!

This is true, I had two friends have serious injuries this summer in races. One guy broke like 7 vertebrate in his neck. Another one broke 10 ribs, collapsed lung, broken collarbone and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. Being injured also means being broke, hospital bills cost a lot. Both my friends also found out that getting lifewatched in a plane is extremely expensive also. Moral of the story, WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR, Gear=$600 Injuries-$6,000+
-
I have gear lol. ;D and as for injuries, I have gone 19 years with out breaking any bones, and I ride 2 stroke trikes :o
-
okay update, I still might get it. :o
-
okay, went and looked at it, the motor is completely rebuilt. :P
tag bars
applied racing tripples
fmf pipe
fmf turbine 2 silencer
and thats it...
It will probably need a pipe, bolt kit for little stuff, air filter, and fenders which is all incredibly cheap in comparison of the trike. Will probably be getting it tomorrow.
Is this worth $700 still?
