Hello all , I recently have been looking into getting another bike and getting back into the mix of things So here is my question.
I found a guy selling a 2005 rm250 this bike was owned by Darrel Hurley super cross champion it was his practice bike it has rg3 suspension , after market bars , triple clap , v force , excel rims , bills exhaust full , probably more stuff I forgot , the bike is in nice condition , I never bought one of these bikes owned by a person like this is this a good idea? do they beat there practice bikes to hell? , no signs of it at all...the bike has no tittle and no vin I could find looks powered coated frame could be factory , is this a good bike to buy please post why or why not. ps the top end has never had a wrench on it .
The price I can get this bike for is $1900 to high or am i robbing him?? comments and detailed help is greatly appreciated

Of course, the racers will all tell you to save your money and buy a 4 stroke if you plan on racing.

Ain't it great?
Darrel Hurley super cross champion????? Never heard of him.
the top end has not been off I was told because , the pro rider only rode the bike for practice a few times and then this gentlemen bought the bike and had kids and it sat only being rode a few times , now that all could be lies and this bike could of been beat hell and back but even if it needed gears clutch plates $70 buck fix and a new top end rebuild $200 other then that What else is there really to worry about..
how do I know if its really his practice bike?
why does it not have a vin any were on the bike?
could I resell this bike with out the title and what would some one pay ?
Bikes WO a title is a common question. A large % of MX bikes do not have a title. Often people buy them from out of state and do not pay state taxes and title fees.....no title. Often a bike is financed......and sold before the loan is paid off so they do not give the title with it.....no title. Your saying the bike came from Australia so there will not be a Fla title.....no title.
Another commonly asked questio is where is the Vin # on a bike thats frame has been power coated. The PC covers the number.....sand down the PC where the vin is and you will find it.
Other have stated that this year and model bike with those mods.....at that price is a good deal.....what more do you want to hear???
You just answered you own question...
Buy it....

Just saw a guy lose his bike last week. "Clear title".
Suspect any bike that seems to have "lost" the original VIN die-stamp.
As for the vin, if the frame is powder coated you won't be able to see the vin unless you sand it off, however you can look for the serial number on the crancases as well and go from there. If you're really only going to buy a bike to ride MX then not having a title shouldn't be that big of a deal as long as you can get the seller to leave all personal info and a written statement putting him on the ringer if it comes back "hot" If he has no problem doing that it is likely not stolen but if he seems apprehensive then it may be suspect.
I have a bike that has no title but checked w/ the DMV and it's not stolen the douche I bought it from just never paid off the loan, it's a backup bike I got for real cheap! Easy way to fix it is to get a frame that is legit and swap them out.
