Not worth it considering 2 strokes are so simple and you can buy a 2011 kx450 or 250f engine for $3000...I would rebuild the motor once the right way and ride the piss out of it! Also you say $8200 for all new chassis.. but what about the $3000 engine you now have left sitting to sell......Just something to think about

Not trying to throw stones here but, rebuild it right? Have you priced the key components on these motors? You would be LUCKY to rebuild it right for 3K. Just ask Rooster!
kaw rider:
8200 for a service honda kx500 af with your motor. you dont get the 450 motor for that price.
ToomanyKaws:
I would rather start out with a new engine. No matter how people try with a rebuild. It will cost more than $3300 plus to equal a mew motor.

HAHAHA or ask me how much I have in mine...
So far, since I have owned it... it has cost me... (math time)
$683.5374 per Gallon of fuel burned..... this only counts buying the bike, and motor work, not carbs, reeds, hoses, tires, etc.... just INSIDE the motor work...
livenlife699:
when you guys are talking rebuild...Did you drop it in salt water and recover it weeks later? If so 3k can cover just about everything you need if so lol
