Is This A Good Deal?

I am looking to get a 250, but I was browsing Craigslist and saw these two dirt bikes for only a grand each. Is this a great deal?

As far as I know, those aren't street legal, and without knowing OK laws I'm not sure what to suggest. If it is possible to make one street legal you would probably have to get lights set up for it and change tires.
The gearing will probably not get you a great top speed either so highway use could be an issue...
They're very different from the ninjas in any case!

Oh I wasn't planning on making them street legal. I was going to buy them and re-sell them if I can get that at a good price.

If you don't know if its a good deal what are you going to do when people ask you about the condition of this bikes, how much they have been ridden, etc. Not a great idea to buy and resell something you don't know much about

Plus.... Taxes....

well in that case... I don't see why not! haha when you go see them make sure nothing is wrong and check that you could actually sell them for more!
also if you get them be sure ride them in the mean time ^^ those look like a lot of fun...
