Heck of a deal I came upon!

[cmiller493]

Yeah, I would too, I dont have the money though. That is why I offered him what I did. Now its up to him to decide if hes willing to give it away for that, especially now that snow has hit kansas, nobody else will be buying a bike anytime soon.

[ACMX]

Thats awesome Corey. Definitely get that. Hands down. If you dont like it, put it back up for 2500 (stay firm) and get a nicer 125.

The seller was probably only looking for 2200-2500 for the bike anyways. When you list it for 3k, and someone offers you 2.3k and you accept, the buyer feels like they are getting an amazing deal...


But dont get too excited. That might not be the case. He might be really stretching on this.

[cmiller493]

I think hes stretching, its taking him a while to decide if he will accept the offer. It is a lot nicer than that cr125 I showed you. If I were to sell it back, i'd wait and sell it and get a 150sx!

Dude, that is a sweet friggin ride for what he's askin, if he takes your offer even better.
Forget the linkage. set the sag at 93mm and put the forks all the way down in the clamps. the bike is sprung for a 200lb rider, spend your money on springs for your weight, and put a flywheel weight on it, I run 11oz. it really smooths out the power delivery. the KX250 has a gnarly hit when it comes onto the pipe.
 Here's My 07 KX250 bought new 4-16-07

Nice KX Myc!

That's a great looking bike hope you get to buy it. I love the later KX's, but used ones around here are top dollar. Last week a nice 2006 popped up and the guy was $4500 and the ad is gone so he either sold it or changed his mind.

[TMKIWI]

Buy it.
My mate has an 08 and loves it.

[MyckMcClung]

Thanx Charles. 08'? you must be in Europe. Cause they're dead here, Mine was the last 07' to see a showroom in Pensacola, Florida.

[Coop]

TMKIWI is from New Zealand...

Nice deal, very clean bike that one! 

I am considering getting another bike, probably a newer bike, but I don't really like most of the newer bikes.  KTM 300 is possibility but I don't think it's powerful enough.  I was thinking of maybe trying to get a later model Maico 500, like 2000s if I can find one, might call the guy in Erie and see.  If KTM had a 380 (newer) I may have considered it, not sure of the 90's 360's after riding them a bit they just are too torquey.  Thats always my problem, even if I want a newer bike I don't like any of them and end up with a good older bike

This is outside of getting a new bike but there is now a possibility I may be inheriting a 98 KX500 for free.  It's already in my garage, was storing it for the guy but now he's moving to california and I was like so when you putting that bike for sale and right now he was like I'll prob just tell you to keep it.

Sweet!

You can't beat free. I am not a 500 fan but wouldn't turn it down. Anybody come across any more free bikes, let me know, my 16 year old nephew needs to move up from his 80 LOL.

[opfermanmotors]

We'll see if I get it or not, it's possible he could take it with him or change his mind and sell it

Probably find out in a few weeks since that's when he moves.

[sdjclevland]

I have a 144 and I was thinking of getting a 250 but was worried about the power so I got a 250f and I made the right choice cause I rode a ver very nice yz250 and I think that would have been too big a step up for me.  The 250f is a nice in-between bike I feel and I love it so far.  I still have my smoker though don't worry lol. Been riding it the past 3 weeks actually.

Four strokes are good learner bikes. That's their only good feature imho. But even though youre using it as a learning bike, it will still negatively impact you more than you think. You will develop bad habits, get lazy. Your line choice will be poor. A two stroke has the option to take many many lines a four stroke can't take. You just joined the conga line my friend. You just can't beat the snappy flickable explosive 2t.
