Course it is worth the money, but its all a question of timing, market is flat and bike falls in between eras. But if you collect open class KXs then you would want it.

Yep, made a deal with someone on the forum, i will leave it up to him to say who he is as i think i should respect his privacy if he wishes.... I was considering running my KX400 for sale but after a few comments re market being flat, think i might hold on to it....

And how much did you sell the 125 for?

Give it a go. You can always say no to a too low price.

YZbrett - I reckon you just post the KX is up for sale for the right price ( your asking price) and suck it and see you never know from one day to the next who is buying or selling, market has always been funny that way. 

you cant predict,  that the one guy you need to buy it, and the one guy who's been looking for one will ever be the same, but you can always try. 

 iT still amazes me how many people dont look on ebay still these days.  I sold one of my vans a while back, listed 2twice on Ebay in the last day of the second time this kid from QLD rings, reckons its exactly what he wanted and had nearly given up looking, and only happend onto ebay that day ???  he flew down and bought it for full tote odds ? and i was worrying id have to hit the papers or drop my price ??

So like i said you never no who is looking today that wasnt looking yesterday, it may be because your close suburb to them and they only buy on sight or because they saw it on the notice board at the shops and it sounds cheap.  you just have to get it out there and the buyer will find you.   

BUt put it out there well before you NEED to sell somthing, nothing worse than selling in a rush if you need to....
