1989 KX500...most expensive KX500 ever??
« on: April 19, 2011, 05:01:27 AM »
This is not mine, but I found this price too insane not to share with you all.

This thing must have some of that unobtanium that 2T Institute posted about with those carbon engine parts... :D  :P

Unfortunately 250's don't fetch the same money, for some reason 500 2t's have made a resurgance in popularity, workin' on one ATM

Your seat cover is loose... :D :P

I wonder why 500's sell for so much down there? Around here they don't, so $5k for an '89 is pretty insane.

...because they are the most fun you can have with your clothes on ;D
They are pigs around a modern MX track, but given a fast, free flowing, natural terrain track and hold on 'cause things are about to get real interesting. :o
Oh and the seat covers GOOOONNNNEEEEE! back to standard red. What was I thinking.
