Fingers Crossed!!!
« on: February 20, 2011, 06:34:47 PM »
I found an 03 YZ125 in northwest Indiana that I may scoop up! It needs a cylinder but everything else seems to be intact! I am planning on throwing a 144 kit in it. Hes asking 1100 for it. I may see if he'll take $900 if I drive the 2.5hr one way trip to pick it up! Does that sound fair for both of us?

I just found out the motor is in pieces. Its basically stock, he doesn't have time to mess with it anymore. What would you guys do?

I am always worried when someone else takes things apart. ::)
Make sure everything is there. The last thing you need is to replace lost parts

The bike here in Ca is only worth 1200 running, so I wouldn't give anymore than 700 here.

I found a couple 2001 RM125's for 1500 and 1700. That seems high to me? What would you pay for this year RM 125?

It all depends on where you live. I always see posts like these, and cringe.
In VA I buy bikes all the time, cheap. A few months ago I picked up a 96 and 97 RM 125, $500 for both. 95 YZ 250 $200.
I'm picking up a 2001 YZ 125 today for $600.
Shop around. :)

Yeah, I get 99% of them from Craigslist. I live in a very 2-stroke rich area though. :)

Lucky! I've read a lot of the posts on this forum and ya'll really have me wanting a 125. I think it will really be a blast at the tracks I ride. (KI tracks, Byron Moto Park and a buddies personal SAND track!))

LOL not for me. My 16 year old nephew has outgrown his 80 and people around here think 125's are made of gold or something.
