the good ones finally all ended up overseas. I wouldn't buy this one based on me knowing what the vulture paid for it and what spares he rpped off at the same time/

Congrats KX Bill 8). A great buy worth every one of those Kiwi Finest you handed over.

But what do you do with it; put it in the foyer and have the servants polish it once a week, or ride it. But it's too nice to dirty up :o.

Thanks team  :) its definetly a rider  ;D came with a lot of spares inc 2 complete motors  :)

Dave luckily it was only a 7 hr round trip to collect it so i picked it up yesterday .

Picked this up on the way  :)

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=297274632

I will build a KX 125 Budget replica out of it  :) scored a compete KX 125A motor and carb at CD7 for $200.00 and a genuine chamber on trade me for $40.00  ;D

I have spare KX wheels, forks , tank , saet and air box so should be fairly easy and will give somone an entry level pre 78 125  :)

Thanks freaky i will have a look , can never have too many spares  ;D

All i need now is a 75 250 and i will have a set of twin shock KX 250s  ::)

Tony no i wont make Spectro , to be honest i didn't enjoy it last year  :o they try to hard to build tracks to slow the moderns down , resulting in tight tracks with huge acceleration holes and braking bumps ::)
Probably ok on a linkaged kettle but no fun on a twin shocker  :(

Yep know what mean Bill them tracks are no fun on something that weights more than the chick from the biggest loser.

Took the XL out to Taikorea on Sunday, had a run around the main track & the cross country track could work ok for a 3 dayer as there are a total 3 mx tracks plus cross country track, land owner was very positive about the whole idea.
