Ok Rookie , the owner is asking $900 for it I thought that is a good price so I was wondering what you guys thought the only thing I can find wrong is a bit of rust between the triple clamps .

STOP READING RIGHT NOW AND GO BUY IT, DON'T MAKE ME TELL YOU TWICE!! :D :D ;) it's worth double that at the very least, But many xr75 tragics have proved them to be worth three or four times that on occasion! Enjoy your cheap xr75 or handy winfall, whichever you choose to make of it.  :)

It depends on the year model,Generally 4 speeds are more desirable(pull more dough) than 5 speeds,the most wanted is the first model 4 speed KO :)

Why is it that the blokes that get the bargain buys are the blokes that want them to thrash around on. :D
