Message: [QUOTE="JTT, post: 240131, member: 19620"] Farmer John, I am new to this game, but just went through buying a bike. I would say that $2000 is a little much for a bike of that age, particularly considering Fantics are no longer manufactured (parts are still available though, apparently). I was looking at 2000 models for $2700-3000. Check out [url]http://www.motosoup.com/[/url] There are many machines listed there and at least can give you an idea of price ranges. Don't be afraid of shipping, as it is no big deal with these little bikes (in fact most are shipped by air :scream: ) and is very common. These bikes do not take the same level of abuse as we "traditional dirtbikers" are used to...I mean, they idle for half their lives :cool: So, the fear of "long distance" shopping should not bother you too much. This is getting a bit long, but if you want more info, I would be glad to share what I have learned...for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
