Hard to say…timing is important …its not just my bike not selling, I scan every morning….same bikes for sale for months….maybe the KTM”s have lost some shine after their financial crisis? The bikes are still high quality from what I have experienced…

Yes, I get that the hrs will scare some away, but were talking 59 year old, well maintained hrs…not 20 year old on the rev limiter hrs😂….realistically, a new piston as preventative and good for another 100hrs….would let it go cheaper if someone showed up with $ and made reasonable offer….

My 25 came with a 46 rear sprocket…..weird because my 23 came with a 49 rear…I ended up with a 50 rear to utilize 3rd gear more…..a reflash of ECU can give you way more top end overrev and still run 93 octane…I love these new 300SX”s…on my 2nd one…already has 70hrs on it…

The "Mecum Effect" is having serious fallout when used bikes are getting priced. Same as the "Kaplan Effect". It's all smoke and mirrors. Almost nothing over $3500 is selling regardless of condition and basket cases that are priced over a grand don't even deserve a call. All the sellers "know what they got"🙄 20-30 year old two strokes I just figure I'm going to have to do a complete engine rebuild on day one and figure that into the price. Then throw in all the chassis bearings, tires, and a suspension rebuild. I've been racing vintage bikes for 30 years...

Used bikes are not selling….I have had 2 historically good selling used bikes for sale for months…300SX & 350SFX, nothing but clowns, dreamers and low ballers…forget about the trade offers….I don’t need to sell a bike to buy my new bikes but my garage is bursting at the seams😂…the market is flooded with used and new bikes…buyers market right now...

All the tracks start out wet & muddy now….but most tracks don’t open if rain in the forecast….I can remember when we first started riding, we didn’t care about rain or mud, we just love to ride…..I”m old also…I don’t mind some mud but if its pouring rain out……I”m out😂….
