Title: Are there cheap Husky's anymore?
Post by: dave on July 22, 2009, 06:01:04 pm
Just getting back into vmx after a 7 year holiday and wanted to get an idea if it's still possible to buy a reasonably priced cr125/250/360 pre78. Could I get an idea what I'm gonna have to pay for a ridable bike please. Not keen on buying a rebuild. Cheers ;)

Here's Husky 67's latest find, a '74 CR400...$1200 and it runs. This is yet another message to those doom merchants that keep up the annoying old "there ain't any more old bikes left" chant. There are shitloads of bikes out there for good prices if you're prepared to look.

What a great find! :o However, it is getting much harder to pick things like that up Firko no matter how hard you try. Especially if you don't work in an industry which allows you exposure to opportunities as I once did. I do agree though that you can still find them. Hope to see some more pics of that 400 as it gets fixed up please, and any others.

YEs its a WR250, think he said year was 76, he rebuilt it to do Dt, then got sick so it just sitting.  Last he said to me was make a fair offer, he has not idea of the market price to day other than , i would accept that , or not i wont except that.  YOu make a resoanable offer that you would expect a bike like that to change hands for and if your arround the mark im sure it would change hands.  Bike is currently on the eastern seaboard

How's this for a cheap 510 project? The bloke even throws in an XL250......All for $200. I'd be grabbing it if I had room in the shed.
