Heck of a deal I came upon!
« on: January 11, 2011, 01:49:34 PM »


Found this in my area listed at $3000 but they guy said he needed money. So I thought it couldnt hurt to make an offer of 2350, and he said he might take it! This bike is very clean 07 kx250! If this deal actually goes through, I may have come upon the deal of the year  :) Anybody heard anything on the 07 kx250s? On the dirt rider test, they liked it. On the MXA test, they hated it so I cant really tell. Either way, this is a super clean bike for a heck of a price :)

i bought a show room condition 2006 kx250 for 2300 on craigslist.  The bike didnt get very good reviews on magazines like mxa but i love the thing to death. Hears what the bike looked like the day i bought it.

Awesome deal.  Good luck.  I got alot of extra power out of that bike, when I put on a FMF fatty and ported the motor.  I mean, A LOT.

Haha I wont be needing ANY more power for a while. I am coming off a kx125 and am still wondering if a 250 is to much for me yet. But im hoping I can get used to the power.

Awesome! I have heard they benefit a lot from a aftermarket linkage arm cause they are a tad longer. Its suppose to keep the back planted more and improve handling.

That is EXACTLY what I have heard also. That will probably be the first hop-up I do to the bike (if he even decides to sell it to me at that price :) ) I dont know if I will get the whole linkage or just the linkage arm. I think they are meaning just the linkage arm is needed.

wow thats clean.  last year i found out a coworker had an 05 that had been ridden around the block once!  it scared him so he parked it and forgot about it.  my other buddy bought it for 1800 ( i negotiated the deal  ;D )
those bikes have great low to mid torque.
enjoy it...

If he decides to accept the offer I made, I will. Im just surprised if he goes down $650 from his asking price, but he said he might be able to do that  :o.
