The Craigslist Bargain Braaaap Thread.

That could be a good deal.






Or a turd.

If I didn't have a new orange smoker getting the suspension done I would be all over this. Nice find.

The guy doesn't even realise he has a 2002-2004 model, not a 2001. Gotta love idiots like that

Here's a nice one!......http://cnj.craigslist.org/mcy/3154620964.html

That thing is beautiful!!

Looks like at least a 2002 to me instead of a 2001.

Could be a fun project!



edit..... oops didn't see someone already pointed that out.

I guess I'm driving to Dallas tomorrow if he still has it, Thanks! (I say that in my most sarcastic like I need another bike voice.)

Anyone got a 3 wheeler?

bought one once at a garage sale for 75$.

I have bought a few good deals on CL.

First, 2 years ago I bought a 97 RM125 with 20 original hours, basically a kid rode it and crashed it and it sat in a heated garage for years. I paid $500 for it. Took me 20 minutes to clean it up and it fired right up.

Second, I bought an 01 KX250 that the guy said was "blown up" for $400. I checked compression and it seemed perfect. Found out no spark, changed the coil, started first kick. Runs and rides great.

Third, I bought a 95 Ducati Monster for $1000 in a box. Spent some time and built it up, prob worth about $3500 now

Fourth, a 1999 Yamaha Zuma which I use as a pit bike. Paid $75. Yes $75. Needed a new exhaust. Runs great

Plenty more but those are my favorite deals.

I picked up a 2006 YZ 250 a month or so ago for $500. Guy tried 60:1. didnt like it and took out the cylinder. Now a Eric Gorr 295 cylinder resides in it. It needed the suspension done but other then that it was in good shape.

About a year ago I picked up an 06 yz125 with stock tires still on it for $1300. Fork seals were leaking and back fender was chopped but was perfect other than that.

this thing is pretty sweet....best of both worlds....

I picked up an 04' YZ125 last week. Not from CL, but it was headed that way so this sort-of applies...it came to me through friends-of-friends before it got there. When I first saw it, it looked ratty...dirty, plastic a mess, forks twisted in the triples, graphics gawdawful, grips (bright blue!) torn, looked to have ape-hangers for bars (turned out to be risers to fit fatbars). But then I took a closer look....nothing has been touched...most all of the nuts and bolts have never seen a tool, including the head nuts, suspension clickers and fork caps. It still had the original chain and sprockets (though a little worn). The soft phillips-head screws on the carb-boot clamps had never seen a screwdriver. The pipe is stock and without a dimple, and the paint was hardly rubbed off the frame. A true low-time, stock, unmolested ugly diamond in the rough. It didn't run and hadn't in 5 years (carb full of premix oil and nothing else). I got it for $1,000 and have spent an additional $400 on plastic, graphics, tires, chain & sprockets and some misc things. With some elbow grease and $1400 I have what amounts to a nearly new last-gen steely YZ125! I haven't ridden a 125 since 03' and haven't owned one since 83', so I feel like a kid again. The best part was that with an impact driver, 3 sockets and a phillips screwdriver, I had the whole bike torn down and the carb opened up and oozing onto my workbench in about 10 minutes. I plan to ride it now and then and hang onto it for my Sons to ride when they're tall enough.
