OK, the juries decided on a 71 CR400 cross, so what would I expect to pay for a shitter, an average condition bike or a good one?....I know its the how long is a piece of string kind of question but Ive never followed Husky prices. It will probably come out of the States as thats where the majority went. I can see theres plenty of consumables available from quite a few shops but what about pistons, rod kits etc and are they a fairly reliable sort of jigger?....If anyone has any leads or knows where there is one it will be greatly appreciated. I can wait for the right bike aswell, I'm not in a hurry as it would be a next year kind of job and in reality it would take 3 or 4 months to come anyway what are the downfalls of these models or what do I need to look out for?, cheers Johnsquarna. ;D

There was a '71 400 on craigslist last week for $7000. I don't think they're cheap over there.
