This little thing looks awesome!

So I browse my local Craigslist daily to see if there is anything interesting for sale, particularly because I'd love to get my hands on a old CB to do what I please with

.

But instead I came across this today and I think I might be in love!

^ mini bikes are cool but i could never bring myself to pay that much for one, even if it is the reasonable price.

However I always keep an eye out for the 100cc-150cc 4 stroke dirtbikes. Anything from years 2000-2005 can be had for $1000 or cheaper in decent shape and run forever if you keep up on general maintenance.

I have a KLX 125 that is a blast, my wife rides it too. Kinda want a crf150 too. Soon i will find one for a decent price and jump on it, Super fun to ride anywhere, easy upkeep, built like a tank no worries if you crash it, beat it, stunt it whatever

I'd only pay 4 or 5 hundred and that's if it is running.

alex.s · February 1st, 2013, 03:05 PM

trail 70s are fun! but like CC said, it aint worth much. those things are a dime a dozen, like a supercub, or jiggles.

Their worth more than a dime a dozon here in FL. . Floridians don't keep old stuff forever, and restore stuff to much. We throw it away and buy new when stuff gets old. During better times a lot of people had money here and didn't have to keep old junk going like poorer areas of the US. But now we pay the price. There isn't many old motorcycles here. Especially jap bikes. We scraped those when they got old and junky. A 1974 CB 125 with title would probably bring at least a $ 850-1400 here based on condition when the same model would only bring $ 450-850 in Indiana or Pensalvania lets say. Now if your location is top secret like CC Cowboy they probably pay you to take them away for you .

1 problem...its in Australia,pretty high price also.
If its something you want to repair & keep for a long time it can be an investment.
Unfortunately these old bikes are not cheap anymore,they are getting more collectable,expensive & hard to find.
My 1965 S90 is undergoing a restoration now & parts are only available through forums & quite often more expensive than the Ninja.
Great fun to be had though.

I didnt know that...usually there is the letters after( FL )
Great fun all the same.

Hell, right here in the US there are duplacate town and city names all over the US. I was an over the road trucker and I went to a place in Illinois with the same name as a town in Alabama. Well , I delivered the load to the wrong state. I didn't look at my bill of lading well enough in the begining of the trip. You would think I'd remember the name of that town but it excapes me.

Yep. I've seen it happen. Loads end up thousands of miles from where they are supposed to be.

4950cycle · February 6th, 2013, 08:36 PM

I think it was Peoria AL. . You can guess the rest. Anyway, I brought the load from Tifton Ga. to Pioria IL. . Well as I have said it was supposed to go to Peoria AL. .

One is the midwest and the other is the deep south. I wasn't to far off
