Well, as nice as the RM is, it WAS still a RACE bike, so its going to be pretty well used, maybe maintiained good, but still used and abused. Its a bit of a gamble, but if you go new, then you will everything the bikes been through, beacuse it will be from just you.
Was that actually Shae Bentley's bike or is it a replica someone made up? See if there is an AMA tech inspection sticker on the frame near the steering stem. My son really liked his 03 RM125. For me it comes down to if you have the cash I'd rather have the brand new bike instead of a 3 year old race bike that may or may not be thrashed and most definately has the ugliest graphics kit in history :laugh: How much are they trying to sell the RM for?
Yep that's the one. For me again I'd go new if the budget can handle it, and if I was buying the RM I would not pay a premium because it was an ECC bike.
