What do you think of this bike for sale?

I was wondering how he got a gixxer 6 to do 9.9. Maybe John Force was dragging it
Is it still Ashley these days? It's certainly not John.
I remember meeting him in 02. Great family guy. If you were in line to meet him and you had a kid, you went to the front of the line. A class act IMO.
 
Yeah I figure dude is a crackhead. Thats an awful lot of money for a rolling chassis. I didn't know they existed though.
Race Honda made them first. Then a kit was available, I wouldn't trust the kit if some local yahwho did the weld. Putting 500CC in an aluminum frame is awesome but like the YZ250 and 125, Why? I prefer steel over the aluminum anyway.

PASS!!! Never be a YZ, and not even close to a Suzuki. But hey, maybe you like riding KAWK!
 
The only reason my "clapped out POS" 99 yz250 is for sale is because the 06 I rode today has different steering geometry and it cornered better. Very similar to my buddy's KTM 125 I rode not long ago. It was then, and was today, a very noticeable difference. Even though my 99 was faster and hit harder, I would trade that for the cornering alone.
It's for sale, and its not clapped out at all. Its fresh and fast with 17 hours on the top-end. I still love love love it. But it's time for an upgrade, and since I'm working again, I have the dinero.

Palmer mentioned something about an 8mm difference in the location of the reed box making it faster than others; is possible to put that different location cylinder on a newer bike? From my understanding these engines are all the same from 99 to around 2016, no?

Needless to say I'm in the market for an 06 or newer yz250, but they are not available in my area for less than 4K. My range is about 3K.
There is a guy in CA that has a 2011 that he claims has clutch problems for 2700...
