JaysonL Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 So I'm completely new to biking in general and just bought a bike to start riding in spring. In the mean time I was hoping to tinker with a project dirt bike over winter.I was wondering if either of these bikes look like a potentially good deal on a project bike (something that won't take 100's to get running, not too shot too hell)?! You guys being dirt riders would know better than anyone. Any advice is welcome.http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/1502095239.htmlhttp://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/1503133302.htmlThanks in advance!-Jayson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 The 80 is pretty small for a grown man and needs half the bike. I'd try to get more details on the 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I don't know a whole ton about dirt bikes but I'm thinking either of those bikes are gonna require a ton of money in parts. Your better off saving it for your Katana or more gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysonL Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm full grown at 5'7" and about 135/140....So I'm still small at my "full-grown height."Do you still think that the 80'd be a bad idea considering it needs a lot of attention too....And if the general description of "needs rebuilt" is exactly that for the 100, wouldn't it need just as much attention.(Just asking questions, not questioning your wisdom or advice haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjascott Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I would stay away from both!!! The 80 is worth about 4 to 500 at most in perfect running condition it will cost way more to put it together. The kaw uses a nickle lined cylinder, if you bore it out you must have the cyclinder re-nickled, its costly and takes a long time to get done. I'm not a big honda guy or anything but old xr 4strokers run forever and they are pretty low priced I just sold a xr100 for 600 ran perfect. What is your budget? wha kind of riding do you plan on doin? My xr was just a beat around pop whelies n such I also have an 01 rm250 2stroke thats set up for mx track riding I'd let it go for 1200.

JaysonL Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 wow, good to know abotu the kx 80!well, i'm not particularly lookin' for a dirt machine, but my budget won't allow anything above about 4-5 to buy the project, from there I can put money in as I go (or as I get paychecks haha).As to what kind of riding.... Shits and giggles. I wanna get myself a mx helmet and some old gear and tear the bike up as much as I can without tearing my own limbs off.Oh, and thanks for the 250 offer, but 1200 is WAAAAAY out of my range! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 i dont know if they'll take it but you could try an even swap for the Cantana.JK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysonL Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 i dont know if they'll take it but you could try an even swap for the Cantana.JK. That's a low blow my friend.

OsuMj Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 yes, but the question is, do you want her to reproduce and make a bunch of little bitches? just sayin. holes in condom = not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysonL Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 yes, but the question is, do you want her to reproduce and make a bunch of little bitches? just sayin. holes in condom = not a good idea. haha wrong thread mj! get your shit together 'man!' Oh, and I thought this scenario over only after I posted that.... either way I felt that the totall negative impact and effect on the world would be less than the enjoyment we would all get knowing she will forever have a man named Billy-Joe as her baby-daddy (b/c i'm assuming that the only guys that would fuck her would also considering hooking up with their cousins! sorry wheezle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is essentially a parts bike, and not a good one at that since many of the good parts are gone. I'd look for a 125 2-stroke at your height/weight. yes, but the question is, do you want her to reproduce and make a bunch of little bitches? just sayin. holes in condom = not a good idea. that thread is down the hall to your left.

I've been kinda lost when it comes to looking around for a dirt project that would fit me. but this gives me a good idea!You've been doing to many TPS reports my friend.
