I also got good deal on 1996 CR125.I only paid $450 for it and I paid for it myself(I am only 14).The guy that had it before me wrecked it and broke his ankle so he really wanted to get rid of it.I did have to replace a couple of things like fork seals,exhaust gasket,grips,handlebars,etc.If I ever get a camera I will post a pic. BTW it has all black plastic.

thats a pretty good deal also. i just turned 15 on may 10th, but i have money from the last bike i owned.my dad bought me a motor scooter 3 years ago, then i traded it for a dirtbike.then i sold that one and bought another one, i sold that one and bought another, i did that for a long time and now im here. my first dirtbike i got i sold it for $250, and i made my way up to $2000. :nod: im planning on keeping this bike for a while.

You're in Ohio - are you in the Southwest part of Ohio? Don't know if he's still got it or not, but this was a good deal last week in Lexington, KY - 2001 RM 125 $995:

a bike that old will go for somewhere around $1500......i've always found that around this price is where good bikes will end up at when they get old enough.

 

[elliot-cr133]

Actually I bought a CR133 for $2100 Canadian which is about 1850 american. I think the reason the guy priced it so high is because he had a full top and bottom rebuild and a big bore kit. Also the bike was in unbelievably good shape.

 

[dirt bike dave]

how much do you guys think its worth now??

I'll guess $1,400 - $1,500.

 

[patto3]

Where did you get your doxo graphics from, e-bay? if so, did you have problems with the seller?

 

[adam728]

It will double in value if you replace that hook you call a front brake lever!

 

[CRrider125r]

That thing is exaclty like my bike except for the graphics and mine is a 2001. I am doing a project like that this summer when i start working i am also 15.

This was the first night I had it

 

[2 strokes for life]

Nice bikethe both of you. I would not mind doing an older CR125 for a project.

 

[buffsabs11]

I have a 1987 Suzuki RM80 that I bought off of **** for a project bike. I got it for $275, and it ran when i bought it, but there is a bunch of bearings and stuff i have to replace. Right now I have about $450 into it, and i cant wait until if it is finished. All I have to do now is paint the frame, do a topend, get grips, a throttle cable, plastics, and this sucker will look better than brand new.

 

[kx125412]

It all depends on where you live. My buddy just sold his 96 RM125 for 2600 and all it had was a fatty pipe, shorty silencer and some new plastic. Then he bought a 2000 KX250 for 3500. We're up in Canada you guys down in the states are lucky for what you pay for dirtbikes.

 

[friar tuck]

Man, I should buy up a bunch of old bikes, rent a big U-Haul, and head to Canada. Wonder how tough it would be to get them into the country? :)
