[QUOTE="RedWingDS, post: 665734, member: 46716"] BRP = Big Red Pig its what the 650 owners call their steeds. mine is the fattest of the piggy's and slowest my idea of camping is getting a room at the Hilton. i ride in the cold too, use to ride in the snow. i work goofy hours so i can get away during the week. oh yeah i hear ya on the bike thing, i got the XR cause i havent owned a bike in years.(about 7 or so years) everytime i sell a bike i get the shakes. bought the 650 used last year with 1728 miles on it. now showing 7000. didnt want to have to tow everywhere , still wanted to ride the street (have no idea why) needed to be street legal and didnt feel like going the VT route. so i opted for the DS crap. XR650L the L stands for luxury,lounge,love seat. lol always wanted a big bore 4 stroke and always wanted a 250 2stroke. so i have been looking for a all out off road bike for a while.use to love KTM's but the stigmata of yester year still effects me. i dont think i want a 125, i love POWER! need a 2 wheeled excavator. i dont like having to clutch to get wheel spin or front wheel lift. take a look at my sprockets and chain some time ;o) no replacement for displacement in some cases. if i went out and picked up a MX bike the first thing depending on the manufacturer, would be port and polish, and do a complete top and bottom. turn out the clickers and soften it up. really wanted a WR450 but cant commit to the price tag,and im still not 100% sold on the high performance 4 strokes. gets very violent inside those cases. i can get a 00`YZ250 needs some minor stuff and i would do a rebuild on it selling for 2500.00. but after a rebuild and the usual stuff like brakes and cables i could just buy a new one,well close to it anyway. ex. 03`KX250 4k,left over CR250 $4650, 03 KDX 200 and 220R $3000 and $3300. so that is where i stand. oh and a 01 KDX220R SHOWROOM for $2800 if i sell the TRX250R i will for sure get a bike. right now im looking used and the season is almost up. means more deals :o) ------------------ please excuse the rambling as it has been a tiresome day, here is why. THIS IS A POST ABOUT THE BARRY HAWK BIKE I WENT TO BUY TODAY !!! much thanks to you guys for the info, but i saw the bike and decided its a BIG NO! first the guy lied to me after i asked him repeatedly about the bike. i get there and im so pissed, a 5 hour drive to take a look at what was something that should have had some maintenance. barry sold the bike to current owner, he raced it and didnt maintane it. i estimate the bike at 10-12k new, but as it sits your pretty much buying parts. motor wasnt too bad but would need a rebuild shortly(like next week), dented swingarm(i asked atleast 5 times about the SA), the following were shot , fr pads & rotor,r pads & rotor, chain , sprockets F&R, rust all over frame, 2 coats of rust on the PC raw pipe, and a triple clamp turned into a standard double clamp with the holes filled in with silicone ??? i have no idea i guess he didnt want the aluminum to pit who knows. but it was done to both sides. if i had not been lied to i think i would have taken the bike. only to have to rebuild it. but i bet the motor work alone was over 1300.00. but when sellers lie to me even if i can see past it , it just makes me not want anything. problem with that is almost every idiot out there lies. oh i dont know, i have no idea, i think it was... and so on and so on. you know the way the lies roll out. so 10 hours later im home 130 bucks shorter then when i left but i bike seed money is still in hand. next time im taking all my guns and playing with them while i look at the items FOR SALE ! ;o) damn it im not a happy camper today. i gave up riding for 2 days on top of this sh*t. well i vented thanks again for the input guys.
