Hey guys, I hate to be doing this but I am going to be selling my 1992 kx500. I love the bike but I need to go to a smaller newer bike. I have been interested in getting into harescramble more seriously next year. I ran two on my 500 and found some areas of my riding that really need improvement. One of those being hill climbs. I feel that if I go to a much smaller bike, I will be forced to improve this area of my riding as the big 5 can tractor up hills that I botch. My plan is to go to a 125 with a 144 kit and ride it for a season. I would love to keep two bikes but that is not in my ?fun budget? right now.
Now to my question, it?s a two parter.
1st ? what would you guys think a ballpark fair price would be to sell a 1992 kx500. It has been trail ridden and raced twice. It is not in the best shape as I beat it up in the woods, but it runs great. When I got the bike two and a half years ago, it was in terrible shape so I rebuilt what I could, putting about 500 in parts on it however that didn?t fix everything. It really should have a new rear brake caliper. The one on now had a pin froze and striped that had to be drilled out and the fabed pin causes it to drag a little sometimes. I have pics in my gallery of it.
2nd ? I think there are members of my family I would rather do this to but do you guys think it might be better to part it out.
Any advice would be great. I want to sell it for a fair price.
