...too bad bikes cost so much. I can't believe what people want for used bikes.

If you can't afford Japanese dirtbike you can buy a China made bike. Your house is full of china made products why not your dirtbike to.

Little Joey is a man now! Classic!

Get a bike, and come to Jersey. We'll ride slow.

Seems like everyone is buying and fewer are selling since Covid; supply and demand.

Regularly would see 05-08 RM250's around here for $2.5-3.2K before this, now any 2000's smoker seems to ask $5K.

Used KTM 2 strokes. Great bikes without the nostalgia driving the value up, and their easy to fix.

2012 KTM 250SX has hydro clutch, Vforce reed valves, 2 ignition maps, variable power valve, oversized rotor, and plenty of power. You can get them for less than a used KX100.

Got the itch to ride again after close to 7 years off. Looked for months and finally came across a 2007 YZ250 for $2,600. Tore it down and went through everything. Tossed in a new top end for piece of mind and headed to the track for less than $3K. There are still some deals out there. Just decide on what you want and be patient.

Hi! I don't know where to ask that question, so here it is: What's the BRAND and MODEL of the bike ridden by John Connor alias Edward Furlong, as seen here at 1'46" in one of the Terminator chase scenes? When I ask simple-minded Google its answer is always "Harley Fat Boy"... ...

It actually had a prototype CVT transmission. It ultimately Stanton wouldn't have it. Hahaha

The cost of used bikes is what's keeping me from getting back to riding again. I just want a 2 stroke 125 but like what's been discussed previously, they'll all clapped out and not worth buying.
