Considering I sold a less than 10 hour old 2003 Pro Circuit KX125 race bike for around 10% more than that bike, I'd say it isn't much of a deal.

I just bought a 1987 CR250 Honda and the original owner claimed it had 150 hours on it. There is less paint worn off of it than the 07 RM in those pics. The lower frame rails are ground clean , and the clutch cover looks almost worn through. Wiseco crank already and a new cylinder. Lotsa hours!! Lotsa hard hours!!!

That thing's got some serious time on it. Probably not worth it IMO.

It is a 2007, so normally that would be a fair price--but I can see several things wrong with the maintenance on that bike just by looking at picture #2, so the internal condition is suspect. I wouldnt give more than $2100k for it, and I love RM125s.

Just a few red flags, minor, but probably still telling of sloppy care

The routing job on the carb, and exhaust breather/rad. overflow tubes
Why did he reverse the petcock? Missing clamp on fuel line... Whatever...
There'r incorrect bolts used, like countersprocket guard. Does he lose shit?

Look at that rear brake line


He tried buffing the rust off the frame at the swingarm pivot, sneaky bastard Wink

I love that they're so cheap too.

It's so much fun to kick fat asses on shiny, $8K CRF450s while riding this junk.

If your going to buy 125, buy blue. They are the best 125s.

How you figure that? The late model Zook smokers are excellent.

Pick a color and go ride.

Ya that could fool someone who has'nt rode a lot. The clutch cover looks like he buffed out the rest of what was'nt worn. Looks lke he tried the cheapest way to restore it lol.

There are way better deals out there. Last summer I found an 07' YZ125 that was MINT and loaded with goodies for $2000.00.

26 hundred is too much IMO. The sad thing is you will see more sales like this as the economy worsens.

Will you pay for gas? Plus room and board so I can enjoy cali for a bit? It needs a little work first though. Clutch and (my best guess) a crank seal.

Damn are they really that low?? My daughter is dying for a 125. I may have to get in touch with Slowpro.

Davis224, dude if you were closer, I'd seriously consider it.

I had it pretty much sold for even less than that to my buddy, but he never called me back. I need to get rid of it, I just dropped some coin on an 09 450 and still have an 07 250 and 450 plus the KTM sitting in my shed. Who wants to make an offer on an 07 Honda 450 with a total of 22 hours, renthal sprockets, step seat, asv levers, extra air filter, finger-push air bleeders on the forks, pro action suspension, and really fresh tires?

Congrats on the new 450. I think I need to start looking around for a 125 while they are so cheap.
If you still have the KTM in a few weeks I may hit you back up on it. peace

I highly doubt I'll have it sold.
