Yeah, not sure what the complaint is. Looks like a fun project bike.

This bike is the fastest dirt bike around! Barring none! It took first place out of many Banshees and other dirt bikes in a drag racing competition! I have owned 13 dirt bikes before this one, and the 400 2-stokes I had would not even come close to this one! I only run synthetic Lucas oil in it, and I want to make it clear that this bike is not for beginners, or intermediates. This bike is only for an expert! I weigh around 265# and this thing will get me to 100 miles an hour in around 9 seconds. It was totally rebuilt from the crank, up by an artist and it is just broke in. It has a set of V-Force reeds in it. It also starts on the first kick every time! Buyer be ware this is not a toy! New chain and sprockets, never been wrecked. This is as low as this bike will go for!

I was thinking the exact same thing! I'm in the market for a YZ250 project. Those 02's are averaging about $2000 down here.

The motor was rebuilt by an 'artist' and was ridden by a 265 lb. guy, how can you go wrong???

Plus, it will go 100mph in 9sec. This dude should be in pro stock drag racing.

He is clearly a pro because he says, "this bike is not for beginners, or intermediates. This bike is only for an expert!"

Up and down the block doing nines is tough on the motor.

Do it! I just bought this 03 in March and stripped it all down. $1100 is not a bad price at all!

Nice! That thing looks good. I had a 04 back in the day and loved it.

I'm not a doctor but I'm thinking the subframe might be bent a little bit with that gap in between the seat and air box. I'm always amazed by the amount of bikes on craigslist that have a freshly rebuilt motor too.

I'm only an intermediate, so I'll have to pass. "Artist" is very funny. I like drag racing, with necks.

That thing must be ported or something. I only weigh 170 and it takes at least 10 seconds for my '06 to get me over 100mph.

Dang, I don't live too far from DP. As much as I'd like to make a move, I've got another bike I need to sell first. The guy's supposed to come look at it tomorrow, if I can strike a deal with him, I'll PM you.

The bike doesn't look bad, but the dude selling it should use those funds for a therapist...seriously. Or some Thorazine and Jim Beam perhaps.
