Why would you say that Mick? Do you know where you can buy an original cheaper?
I don't.
-
Its a good core bike and that's rare for these bikes. What wouldn't you rebuild or replace. I can see 5k being spent.

I don't.
Ted you can be sure that old mate would've bought this in the US for $3000-$4000. He's in the business of making money not selling race ready mx bikes...

Mick and John, fair enough. I just feel if some bugger is trying to sell something, and you are not interested in buying it you shouldn't pass comment on its worth.
I personally don't rate many bikes. All the bikes I've bought is with the intention of tipping at least another 5K into to make them mechanically far superior to what they were when new. Lots don't agree but it works for me.

Ted I've had to fix a couple of bikes people bought from this seller that were top dollar and supposedly race ready but were far from it... That's why I commented, I hate sharks
-
he's looking to make a quick 3+ with barely a polish ;D

John is right .. this guy is in the business of making serious money (or at least asking serious money) from VMX bike sales that look good but are far from ideal. I refrained from commenting earlier however this has been the experience of most people that have purchased from this seller ... in fact he is someone to be avoided at all costs.
Just my 2 cents worth but I don't want to see someone make the mistake and then spew when they pay top $$ for a bike and it is nothing like it should be for the money.
-
$8.5k and can't even put a bump stop on rebuilt shock or chainslider on freshly painted swingarm.

[/quote]I was one of the guys that payed top dollar (8.5k) for a mega 2 just on over 12 months ago an im still spewin about it.
Wrong shocks, spinning rear sprocket bolts that wont tighten up,rebuilt forks that leak and a new airfilter with no oil in it are just for starters.
Havent opened up the motor just yet ill get back to you all on that at a later date. :o
In hindsight i should have saved up a little bit more dough and bought one of Pauls Maicos :(

Who would buy a bike with a Powder coated frame ...Anyhow Rusty Rusty in no Time
