Not for me... :wink:

That's a good looking bike! I like the ad though, "everything is in good working order except the engine"...

FastDoc · 09-18-2011, 09:32 PM

Aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

That's what I call putting a positive spin on things!

This guy should run for political office. :roll:

Even at a good price, you wouldn't like this bike nearly as much as the Dirt Rat. The Dirt Rat had the very capable Pro-Link, whereas the XR200 had a twin shock swingarm with little travel. I have two around here that I can turn into one complete bike (thanks to Kato), and it'll be a buddy bike.

That bottom end must be a good one.

FastDoc · 09-19-2011, 11:43 AM

I'm wondering what is wrong ith the motor. Maybe it just needs rings and valves? Maybe it does not need to be repowered?

katoranger · 09-19-2011, 12:44 PM

Likely just needs a top end done.

Might have to give him a call... :wink:

Nah. I have too much going on now. With the %$#@ BSA in pieces I can't afford another project.
