Hi everyone, I have decided that having a lot of motorcycles that I am never going to ride doesn't make any sense whatsoever, so over this year I will be selling some of them.
First up is my 1988 KX500. I bought it back in 2004 when I was getting interested in riding again. I rode it once and it's a monster! It has an FMF pipe on it (I think) and I bought some new plastic and a seat cover to tart it up, but never got around to putting them on.
Overall, I think it's probably just the ticket for someone who wants to race Pre-90, so if someone wants the best 500 ever made ::) (slight artistic licence) then send me a PM or email.

Here are a few photos. She's a bit rough now, but basically all there.

Well I have now brought the bike out of storage and had a good look at her. The news is pretty good. She's basically a very complete KX500 in quite rideable condition. With some tender loving care, she could even be beautiful... :o
In that vein, I searched for the NOS plastic that I had bought for the bike and then took a photo with it.

Yeah, crap iPhone photo, but you get the idea - with very little work this bike would look very nice indeed. ;D
Close to setting a price now. Not going to be cheap though, this is a very good example of a fairly sought after bike.

OK, after many discussions with various gurus and some naval gazing, I think I would like to ask $4,250 (or a near offer) for the KX500.
This would include the NOS plastic, a spare seat cover, owner's manual and any other bits and pieces I find that I bought for the bike.
One person who had shown interest has now disappeared, so unless someone on here is interested now, it will go to eBay next week. ;)

I am getting close to listing the KX500 on eBay now. He's some updated photos of the bike, I have now installed the new plastics.
