KX250/KX500 ON CRAIGSLIST

<< < (2/3) > >>

kaw rider:
i think for the money a kx500af is a better deal then the craiglist bike. everything is brand new on the service bike.

GDubb:
There is an almost $6000 difference in "the money".

Yeah, 8 years for the frame and 14 years for the motor. That in itself is worth the extra $6000 to me. To each his own.

GDubb:
I definitely see what you guys are sayin as I hate to trust a piece of machinery that is used, but I havent had any choice as far as dirtbikes go. I couldnt get financed for a new bike if I tried so I have no choice but to trust a used bike. Also, in my own opinion, I dont see why a new KX500 in a new chasis should be any more than a new KX450F. Granted, they arent being mass produced and rolling off an assembly line, but I still couldnt get my head around paying 10 g's for one.  But now if I won the lottery... :-D

That is the difference between a machine building them by the thousands vs. a lone human being building them one at a time. I sure wish I had the time to build my own.
