Not a bad deal but it's a 2 stroker alot of maintanance. fixit and re-sell it buy some nice upgrade for the quad.

 

[07recon]

yea but I want to get a dirtbike so I can ride with my friends and you cant do much to a recon. But thanks for the quick answer.

Have you looked into what it will cost to repair it?

 

[TRX2fiveO]

Lift kit nice wheels and tires maybe not engine wise but you can make it look nice... but I understand the only thing bad about a 2-stroke is that putzing around trails isn't good for them they like to be ran wide open.

Thats true and thats all I ride is trails so maybe I should look into gettin a 4stroke

If you look on craigs list you can find 250X or 300EX for around 800 to a 1,000 dollars

I rode 2 strokes dirt bikes on trails for many years. You can go slow with no problem, you just have to keep the RPMs up at all times. You need to burn all the oil and gas that enter the cylinder or you will have build up on the spark plug resulting in a fouled plug.

 

[TRX2fiveO]

True that's why you constantly hear someone reving them up in the woods but I still would prefer a 4 stroke..

 

[Redracer]

Oh absolutely, 4 strokes are much more rider friendly. 2 stroke take a lot of clutch work, I think growing up on 2 strokes made me a better rider on the 4 stroke machines.

Thanks yall for the QUICK answers I found a xr200 that I fell in love with for 700 dallors that lookes really nice and runs good so thanks everybody.

 

[Redracer]

XR200 is an excelent machine. Bullet proof motor and I have seen one geared to do 85mph.

 

[300ex power by monster]

go for it if u want it

 

[TRX2fiveO]

I had an XR200 great bike!!

 

[tomgodd]

Nice bike I have seen a few of them!

 

[3o0ex622]

it is a good deal but if u talking about rideing on a track then yea keep it but it u talking trails then u should fix and then sell cause u gotta run 2 strokes hard and it u ride slow then u will be changeing plug back to back but if u fix it then u can get 1500$ for it depending on what it looks like and year

 

[mdopole]

I had an xr 200. Good trail bike. Not that fast. Horrible on jumps, lol.


Be careful on some of those 80's cr125's. They are one off years meaning no parts will interchange. I have an 83 that I'm getting ready to part out. Parts will only fit a 83.
