It was on Gumtree ,seller was a guy that buys and Sells mx bikes all the time. He usually has six or eight bikes for sale at any one time.
He just goes for quick turnover and always favours buyers with folding cash.
I'm looking at a couple of these here in Victoria on gumtree at the moment.
Might make an offer of about 3k on one that has about 40 hrs on it.
Then I will have a 125 to race in the gold cup rounds at the nationals next year, this 250 and my 450 to race in the lites, opens and over 45's at the vics next year.
Another 250 f would be my practice bike and it would give me an extra set of wheels for tyre choice at the races

Wow. Bargain

I reckon! I was that stoked that when I got home from work with it Friday night ( I picked her up on my way through Melbourne ) that I just sat out on top of my Engel fridge in the garage admiring it, and my other bikes..
When I came to my senses I realised I'd had 9 beers and 5 bourbon cans..bad idea keeping the Engel out in the garage.
Time to get off the piss again and get myself ready for the coming race season

I like it. Congrats!

For some reason VIC seems to have great used bike (and car) deals. Got both my two most recent purchases from down there.

I dunno.... I'm constantly looking at mx bikes on Gumtree and bikesales and it seems to me like all the cheapest bikes are either in West Australia or Queensland.
In any case , this was one for the ages, when I found a set of stock wheels, all complete for $550... I thought I'd been kissed on the dick by a fairy or something...shoulda bought a lotter ticket on the weekend..

Look into the gytr head upgrade instead of exhaust and intake, should be much more effective per dollar!

Yes, I've been looking on the Internet for a GYTR head, haven't seen one yet.
Have you had any experience with using one?
