700cc 2-Stroke would rule but 10,000 for a dirt bike is crazy. ATK makes a nice custom bike that is built here in the US. Keep it three months and ride it and you could not sell it for 4,500.

I must be crazy because I have maybe 8000 into my K5 if I add up the extra set of wheels and all the after market stuff I have put on the K5.  10 grand is alot for a dirt bike.  It never fails if I want it it's made of gold.  If I own it and want to sell it it's not worth sh--.  That buy low sell high never has worked for me.  I'm the day late and a dollar short guy.

Except for houses and gold and such everthing loses value.
What price can be put on a beast that can shower a M8 with rocks and stones at 80 MPH  :-D

ATK imports the Maico 700 and puts their name on it. Also heard (fairly sure) that the other bikes they have are the old Cannondale line they bought out.

I remember Maicos back in the early 80's "Holeshot the first moto, DNS the second moto" The were SO fast, but simply self destructed themselves as far as relibility.......
