Missed It By That Much
« on: August 03, 2007, 02:12:25 pm »
I went to look at a runnung and complete KX250 A-4 today.  Unfortunately one person had called before me.  If he doesn't show up by 10 am Saturday, she's mine.  ;D

(But you know he's gonna show.)

At least your heart's in the right place Red. ;)

I have an A4 sitting in the USA waiting for me to get my act together and organise the freight to OZ.  I really must do that.... ::)

Well Ajay,

The guy did show up on Saturday.   :(

It would have been so perfect, because I have a rebuilt A-5 motor, in my garage, just waiting for a bike to put it in.  ;)

If it looks that same as my one, then it's worth a lot more than $900.... ;)

I may have mentioned this before, but at the first Classic Dirt there was an A-5 sitting there for sale for about $900. By the end of the day it was down to $750 I think. From memory it was straight and tidy. I was tempted but thought, nah, what'll I do with it? Still kicking myself...

Nice find Ajay.

It's probably lucky (for me) that I didn't see that one at Classic Dirt..... ::)

There is a big range in the price of the A5, mainly because there are certain parts on the bike that are completely unavailable, meaning that a bike with those parts included, in good condition, goes for a lot more money than a bike which is "close" to stock. ;)
