[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1293706, member: 68872"] Five years ago I paid $600 for a 1986 YZ-125 and it also included a helmet, boots and a chest protector. I still have the bike but it is now the "spare". For just fun tides I will pick the 125 over the 250 so it still gets ridden a fair amount. Over the years I have crashed a bunch and had to replace handlebars, levers, plastic, etc. I have rebuilt the top end, replaced the tires twice, chain & sprokets, brakes. Very few of the repairs were because the bike was "old". Most were either normal wear and tear or a result of a crash. My riding group includes a bunch of families and we go out and camp in the desert for the weekend. There are a number of bikes as old as mine and they do fine. One time a friend of a friend tagged along and he one of these cheap no-name bikes for his kid. What a piece of junk. It wasn't far into the weekend before that bike was sidelined due to some stupid part breaking. If that had been a Yamaha/Honda/etc. the bike shop 20 minutes away would have had the necessary part and the weekend would have been saved. Last I heard this bike was down for the count as no parts were available. Everyone is telling you the same thing. Buy a decent used bike, don't buy the Chinese knock off. Rod [/QUOTE]
