I've got a KX 250 A5 that's been rebuilt with all new OEM parts, it seems that I have to sell it now to make the "happy wife, happy life" formula apply. As well as the bike there is 70% of a second bike - who ever calls will have to be someone that has more of an appreciation for VMX than the present house hold 0429125257 Perth

Far be it from me to offer marriage counciling  ::) but perhaps you should point out to her indoors just how rare a 250 A5 (particularly one built from nos parts is )

And explain that they are not making 1979 KX parts any more where as women are still being produced as we type  ;)

Well comented, while I'm sitting here having a chuckle at your post I'm watching my dog devour what I thought was going to be a nice dinner! - up his as well!

If I could, I would.
I had one that I picked up from Brian Collins's in Parramatta still in the crate.
It was the best bike I've ever had and if I could afford one, I wouldn't hesitate.
