Wild_Alaskan · 02-01-2013, 05:19 PM

While I'm in college I have been purchasing broken down bikes and re selling them to make some extra money. right now I have 7 bikes including my personal bikes the 450exc and the 380exc.

450exc

380exc

RM85L

RM125

KX250

I also have a klx110, ill post a picture when I get one.

I will be selling all of these except the 380exc in spring.

Nice stuff WA.

I'm curious about your thoughts about the 450 KTM. Why are you selling it?

Wild_Alaskan · 02-01-2013, 06:40 PM

Mostly the weight of it and its tendency to overheat when things get real nasty. The 380 is replacing it because it is also street legal, weighs less and feels tons lighter, starts the first kick even when hot, way more power, and has suspension valved for woods at my weight and skill level.

FastDoc · 02-01-2013, 07:03 PM

What would you think about a dualsported Husky or a KTM 300 stroker for a guy like me?

Wild_Alaskan · 02-01-2013, 07:26 PM

I would say go for it especially if you are planning on using it mostly offroad. You definitely wont get the smoothness and fluidity you would get out of a fourstroke on the street. At least with mine its either throttle closed or its doing everything it can to try and get in to the powerband. Its pretty hard to go a consistent slow speed because opening the throttle at all will make it want to take off. Its definitely not a a deal breaker for me because i think this makes it more fun. Riding offroad where you are constantly accelerating and decelerating these bikes are perfect and tons of fun, I think you will like the lightness of them too.

I think I will focus on 4 strokes since my next bike will replace my KLX, and that bike sees frequent commuter duty. Also, I am without a sportbike currently and it would be nice to have a high performance bike I can have supermoto wheels for for canyon carving. 8)

Wild_Alaskan · 02-24-2013, 11:13 PM

Added a $100 special to my collection

95 kx125

Weldangrind · 02-25-2013, 12:16 AM

That looks like a good foundation for a $100 bike.

SpudRider · 02-25-2013, 01:06 AM

That's a great find!

The parts alone are worth much more than $100.

When I first moved to California my friend had a early-mid 90's KX125. We trail/desert rode there and I think it was a great little bike. Ring-a-ding-zing!

Rebuild, enjoy, profit! 8)

Wild_Alaskan · 03-10-2013, 05:52 PM

Here are some of the klx 110

and a better one of the RM125

I sold the rm85 a week ago

FastDoc · 03-10-2013, 10:27 PM

Great pics. Hope that snow leaves you soon. Less than a month to raceday WA!

Nice toy box! One can never have too many machines! :wink:

Wild_Alaskan · 03-19-2013, 01:08 PM

Thats for sure!

Sold the rm125 and klx110 a few days ago

Just bought a 1983 IT490 for restoration $200
