Title: pre 78 mount
Post by: steve234 on March 11, 2010, 01:15:42 pm

What would be the going rate for a race ready pre 78 125/250?

Something that isn't mint just been used and in good order.

Cheers,
Steve

I haven't been looking lately, but I've seen several decent-looking/sounding YZ125Ds sell (or fail to sell!) for ~$1100 in the last 12~18 months. I sold mine for that, but it had a dodgy gearbox and 250D suspension (one step back, another step foward).

Can't say that I recall seeing a really good one change hands recently, but the good race RMs and CRs I've seen have still been under $2000.
Funnily enough, the YZ125C/X seem to be worth more than the 125D, despite being an inferior bike.

The 250s are always dearer than the 125s, esp in this era - as a rule of thumb, add about 50% to the 125 price for a similar 250.

Limited market, I guess.

Mate, $2000 dollar bikes are generally $2000 bikes, spend a bit more and bite your time, all i can say is that few of the bikes i have purchased have been as described, but a couple have been very nice. A lot of people see thier bikes through rose colour glasses when putting them on the market...
