So last week I purchased a 2001 yz250f and after further review, I believe this was a bike Chad Reed had ridden. All the components check out and its missing very little. Now if I am correct, what would something like this be worth?
The Shop
He hated it. Also he didn't ride one of those till 02, so if it's an 01.......
What's the vin and where's all the other cool frame stickers the factories used to slap on them things....
Motorcycle museum would take that right off your hands if it's legit. Won't pay you. But I'm sure you write it off as a tax deduction charitable donation?
- are their gussets or tabs added to the frame?
- is there an AMA sticker near the head?
- is there a title with past owners?
- does the carpet match the drapes?

Pit Row
I drove over to pick it up, got there a little before the race shop opened. Eric Kehoe was manager back then, he showed up first to open the shop. He let me come in with him when he opened up, I will never forget when he flicked on the shop lights and there was at least 20 YOT bikes in a row (the new 2002 models) as well as about 6-8 race bikes floating around. More parts and goodies than I had seen in any shop. It was amazing.
The next year, I called Phil again and we made a deal for a #103 Reed bike (similar but not the same as the subject pic). But because they were so fair with me the year before, I just gave him a cc and told him to ship it to AZ. So no shop visit that year, but the crate did come loaded with some extra parts and accessories thrown in that I was not expecting. YOT was a class act to me.
CrGuy2t..maybe.

There's a new lightspeed cf ignition cover on EBay for about 50 bucks that would go well with the bike.
