What is this bike worth?

This is Eric Kehoe’s 1992 On The Line race bike.

It has KYB works suspension and P.C. Motor.

It doesn’t have the original Pastic, graphics, numbers or clutch cover. I made it into a Peak bike several years ago and it actually was bike of the week on here. It still has the seat cover. I could build it back into the Peak bike or make it look like Kehoe’s race bike but I really want to sell it as is. The pipe at the bottom is going with it. It is just an extra pipe I have.

If you are hoping for increased worth due to the link to Kehoe, you would need to provide some compelling additional info/documentation.

Other than the forks it appears as a mostly stock CR 125. I personally am not seeing common modifications that many connect with works/factory race bike.

As is and assuming running, $2500-$3500. I’m probably too high with my value estimation. I love these years and such think they are gold mines.

Identify with images the works components in an effort to promote that side of it.

It is a 33 year-old 125. Unless you find a buyer who is all-in on Erik Kehoe, it's worth $1500-$2000.

Sounds like Pro just offered you at least $25k.

Yell, "SOLD!" and tell him how to send you the money.

Oh come on man. kehoe is a 80cc legend & a ripper on big bikes.  97 at Gainsville I congratulated him on his world vet championship. He laughed .  How much would a Daytona 500 winning car bring ?  Why would a cr125 that is still competitive today bring 2k ?  Mike Brown,s 89 cr125 that dominated the Vet des nations this yr . Would sell for 15k +.   Hit the local track there is more old 125,s than new bikes.  Who,s not Into this f ing ship.

I think that was 1993. 

I bought this bike from a guy in 2011 or 12 I think and he got it from a guy named Terry Goode? He owns a museum or something.

I may be wrong about the museum guy's name.  Newman was with the guy I bought it from. I don't have a title. I am honestly just running out of room in my garage and want to know a fair price. I was asking $6000 and never got an offer.  I paid $7000 but it looked like the 1992 OTL race bike.

All true, as long as you find the right guy to buy it. Are you that guy?

Sometimes I think drug testing should be required before posting here. Provides good entertainment though.

Terry Good is a well-known collector of works bikes. He also owned On The Line Racing.

Regardless of it’s authenticity and worth, that is a bitching ride!

Have The Tim’s  get you some documentation and then it will be worth $20k, some vital members will even vouch for it to prove its worth

On the line racing I remember that co. Trick stuff.   And the teams 125 90 sx championship with Ty Davis.  Was the bike 90 cr125 any good ?  It beat MC , Emig, Suzuki had a stacked team.

If it were me I would dress it up like it was when Kehoe raced it at least, and like others have said, try to find some documentation. As it sits right now, that seat cover needs to go. Upwards of 3 grand is going to be hard to sell with the economy the way it is. The fact that you paid 7k means there are people like you who might hand that much over, but i may take some time and marketing.

If you got this from Newman then most likely it was my friend Joe's 125 - he had a 125 that he had Terry build, and it was full of VRP parts, including the tank and subframe and the graphics that On The Line used.  Newman bought it from Joe and I helped broker the deal, back in like 2010 or something. It was not raced or used by Kehoe. It had #157 on it as Joe raced it locally in the New York area.  Now, having said that, it is entirely possible that Newman had another bike that was raced by Kehoe...

That was definitely 93 and kehoe was on a Honda of Troy cr125 not this bike.

I have buddies that are pretty big into the vintage racing scene and the bikes that are good in a certain class and are not roached fetch good money. I'd say $5k or so but I'm just an idiot behind a keyboard.

I didn’t get it from Newman. It was from a guy named Chris. Newman was at Rio Bravo and they were friends. The bike had number 20 on it when I bought it. I will post a pic of what it looked like when I bought it.

Thanks,”. I did not know he owned the team. Maybe I can try to get some paperwork from him.
