[QUOTE="nikki, post: 986306, member: 18126"] I have to play devil's advocate here. If your price range is around $2000, you could get a 2000-2003 125 for that easily. There's tons in that price range on [url]www.cycletrader.com[/url]. Heck, Mully has a 2005 YZ 125 listed for $3000 on this site (I rode one this summer - awesome bike!). Yes, it's $1300 more than your buddy's bike, but it's 8 years newer and will be worth much more when it comes to resale. There is also a 2003 YZ 125 listed on this site for $2100 OBO. Another great deal in my opinion. Plus newer bikes have more updated frames, suspension, motors, etc. and you don't have an 8 year old crank, transmission, clutch, bearings, etc. And don't forget that you may have a harder time finding parts for an older bike. The only advantage to buying your friend's bike is the extras, and that you trust that the bike has had a good mechanical history. [/QUOTE]
