opinion on a 94 300 exc

[stevet]

Is a 94 300 exc hard to find parts for? Any major problems/issues with that year....?

2002 and older 2-strokes tend to be priced a bit higher in Calif than the rest of the USofA because of the "green sticker" rule....and I would prefer a green sticker bike...

Since my bike budget is a bit tighter than expected (dam house repairs) I thought this would be a good deal perhaps

though I haven't seen it in person yet, hope to on Sunday....it looks good in the photos...owner said the photos were taken just yesterday.

I'm 46, started riding on dirt as a kid, but been only riding street the last 10-years (current ride an Aprilia Mille), haven't ridden dirt in a long long time, but really want to get back into it...

I don't need the fastest/lightest/trickest bike out there...my fast days are behind me..just looking for a fun dirt bike....will be riding places like clear creek, Hollister, Carniege.....and maybe before the end of the year try an enduro or two just for the fun of it....


thanks

Looks like a slightly used 94',... good buy at that price.
parts are readily available,...

thanks for the info...I was putting a list of things together before heading out to take a look at the bike this afternoon, and when I called the guy up to get his address, his wife said "he's busy right now, he's in the process of selling it to someone"....

the lesson I learned this weekend is if you see a good deal, don't waste anytime.....this is the second bike this weekend that someone else beat me to.....same thing happen to me yesterday.....

I know how THAT feels,... I once drove two hours pick up a bike,... the seller sold it 5 mins before i got there,.... actually very rude of them cause it was pre-arranged that I would be coming at a specified time,.. and I wasnt late. :think:


sorry,... keep looking though...! alot of good deals on 300's! :aj:
