What did you do to your bike today?

Local yamaha dealer offered $2800 for kx towards a 17 yz450f, :devil:

I don't know how popular they are in your part of the world, but I am surprised they went that high. MSRP for the new one?

white ktm dealer offered $2000 for it, msrp on the new one, with title and insurance waived.
They know me. They want me to ride their bike.

sounds like you can sell it outright for more than that.

I bought it 2 years ago for 3k, I hoped on craigslist and there is one for $4k, so I'm at a bit of a loss.

You keep them pretty shined up. I bet you can get your 3k back.

I have a top end kit on the shelf for it, just haven't had time, family business is crazy, more to do than their is time.

Sell outright, you'll be in a better boat.

You going to go YZ for your new dez weapon? I am seeing more on in our local dez racing seen. Good to see and attached to some of the faster guys out there.

I can answer that, if it was me. :smirk:

For Yamaha:
In a YZ trim, smoking section.
Otherwise, the 12-14 WR 450 is dreamy.

I am seeing both.

Since my YZ is out of commission with the ticking noise and the kid wanted to ride this weekend, we got 7 hours of trail-riding seat time, him on his CR80, and me on ol' faithful, the XR200.
Poor girl. I abused the shit out of her this weekend.
She's probably gonna need the suspension rebuilt again though now, cuz I'm sure I got her way more airborne than she was ever designed to go :ride:

.

However, it was nice to be able to just relax and have fun and not have to be on my A-game every second.
I forgot how easy it is to ride that thing.

Back in 85 the xr200 was a serious woods bike. It was fast, agile and lethal. It ran an easy 80mph in stock trim. In the early 90's they softened it quite a bit.
I would ride that against any modern bike built today.
