1983 KX 500...re-listed
« on: March 05, 2011, 10:51:27 pm »
Obviously the market is not prepared to pay $ 9,000 and i am not prepared to take $ 5,000 so i think somewhere in between will get you what I and others believe to be the best example of this model to be found. I have had a lot of interest in this bike but as yet no cash has changed hands.Spares include new front and rear fenders and sidecovers ( still in plastic ) new 14 tooth countershaft sprocket and a swingarm.

I only listed it to fund a trailer purchase and buy a 250...I have now got a trailer but would like a 250.I will consider a part payment of a 250 or a swap for a 250 in same condition ( read perfect )

Buy it, trade it or swap it... Please no comments....we`ve all heard them

Ted I do like your work.
I can see how a bike like this could owe you allot of money but that dosen't mean people will pay it.
My current project a 77 KTM 250 will end up owing me somewhere around 6k before it's finished and seeing how I do almost all the work myself and have access to a free sandblaster and paint shop, my own tig welder etc. I hate to think how much it would have cost if I had to pay someone to do it for me. But it will be as new when finished.
Good luck getting most of your money back.

It's a little known fact, but in this current version of True Grit, Jeff Bridges isn't actually riding a horse, but an '83 KX500 with hair glued on it. True story.

I have decided to WITHDRAW this bike from sale

I only listed it in the first place to fund a trailer and purchase a 250. Now i have a trailer i will look for a 250

Thanks to everyone that showed genuine interest.

After all, how many of these things are out there in this condition

Cheers
