Title: WANTED KX250A5 '79
Post by: John Orchard on November 20, 2012, 03:22:08 pm
I think I need a second KX250; I don't like to put all my eggs in one basket on race days; ok who's willing to part with one?

Just cos you got a bargain with the first one  ;D

How much you wanna pay  ;) how about a 125 as well  8)

Can crate and ship em no problem (you do paperwork your end though )

Got 2 250s and a 125 for sale  ;)

They are actually very reliable in my experience  :)

Make me an offer for the Fox one in the other thread

I'm happy to look at any realistic price  :-)  Just have to sell my 2011 RMZ450 and GSXR1000 Superbike first, should that cover it?

I've got an A5 front hub with a 19" chrome rim laced onto it if anyone is interested.
I bought an A5 brand new and only rode it on DT, the best bike I ever had.

Jim, I don't have a backing plate for it and have no idea what it's really worth but you'll be given first dib's.

Buy an evo 125 or a 250 from a different era. That way you get more races on the day or a backup ride at worst

Nah I don't want to spread myself too thin, I'm happier winning the few races that I'm in.  I can do a better job by putting in a good effort into less races.

Like at the last event I broke my gearlever in the second last race, I barely had enough time to hunt around the pits to find a spare (thanks Shane Saliba) and fit it; if I had a spare bike that would be much easier and more professional.  I guess once a racer always a racer  :-)
