[JetBoatRich]

You ok there Tina? I can't remember who posted the information last tim eit came up. Maybe they will respond to this? wink

[HOSS]

Just sold my 1968 Mini Trail 50 on ebay. Waiting on check. If he backs out, I`ll tell you. 910.00 it sold for.

[superV]

O.K. It was me talking about the $800 deal. It was before X-Mas and it was for a Yamaha PW 50. They were $850 plus tax here in St.Louis.There are many deals out there on them, at that time I found alot in SoCal for under 1K with lots of extras, 1 or 2 years old. I ended up buying a 1996 Suzuki 50cc quad for $500 out of the paper.One good thing to remember when buying one is they will hold there value to the T. You can sell one a year later for what you paid! :D

[missboatnam1]

hee hee, im ok, dident have the lights on or my eye balls....looking at it now i look like i was drinkin or something pig_flyi
thanks for the info guys, i know the honda place here is having a hard time keeping them in stock!! eek!

I think my buddy can get a xr50 for a grand out the door brand new. They own a motorcycle dealership up in utah. Thats what he told me he can get me one for. I will talk to him and see what he would be able to do. They are like 1400 or 1500 down here in so cal out the door I know that.

[JetBoatRich]

Grand out the door seems real good, let me know. Might be worth the shipping cost :D

[JetBoatRich]

Think I will go by this one Honda 70 (http://www.hondamotorcycle.com/motorcycles/off-road/model.asp?ModelName=XR70R&ModelYear=2003&ModelId=XR70R3)

[Mandelon]

new? or used? http://www.cycletrader.com/

[JetBoatRich]

That price may just go new wink

[JetBoatRich]

Thanks Mandelon for the reminder of the site, found a new 20003 XR70, for $1,000 can't go wrong with that.

[Mandelon]

Can you get one for me too????

[superV]

Just a note the 70s are cheeper than the 50s new! :rolleyes:

[JetBoatRich]

Mandelon:
Can you get one for me too???? How about we bring it out on trips and you can pay to try it out wink

[TANG-INATOR]

YUP, $1375 OTD HERE IN SO. CAL. sleeping ....ROB

[missboatnam1]

well, looks like thats the ticket.... :cool:

[bchbum]

We just priced a xr50 for my boss ,at Long Beach Motorsports for $1,200.00 out the door.This was 10 days ago.No one around here could come close .
I'll have 2 P.W.50's for sale later this year , the girls are moving-up to xr70's

[XLGPP]

if anyone is interested in yamaha, lemme know. I am friends with the dealer here, and my girlfriend works there too. I can get ya'll pretty good deals. Maybe with shipping cheaper than your local dealer.

[Mandelon]

Keep me in mind for the 50's....... wink

[JetBoatRich]

Ready now for the bikes, I was thinking to pass the 50 and go to the 70 wink

[Bense468]

Why the 50's are so popular is, in a lot of cities you can ride them on the streets as long as they are 50cc and below. So the kids are buying them and putting all kinds of work into them like pipes, new bars, suspension, etc. They even have big bore kits for them. Let me know if any of you would like me to find out about the 50's. Like I said he told ME a grand out the door and it is yours (brand new). He can probably get better deals on the ktm 50's also. I am not going to go through the trouble if anyone is not really intrested. This is my good friend of mine, and he is in utah. I don't think it would be that much to ship. Another option is he comes down to so cal a lot for buisness and stays at my house. So he would be able to bring it down.

What about a 70?
I have cash if it makes difference?

[fear the turtle]

Just FYI -
I got one for sell. 2002 xr50 $900(here), procircuit pipe, aftermarket handlebars and tires. I still have all the factory products, including tires, which still have perfect tread. It's in good condition was ridden by my 7 year old. I'm not gonna lie and say hardly ridden, we went out alot. But I did all the oil changes, and kept airfilter cleaned. And these engines are really tough. Has minor scratches.

[Bense468]

jetboatrich I will ask him what he can get for a 70. When i find out I will e-mail you.

[JetBoatRich]

Bense468:
jetboatrich I will ask him what he can get for a 70. When i find out I will e-mail you. I talked to a Honda Dealer today, after taxes and other cost the total is 1,510 out the door?
Any thoughts? 2003 XR70

[Bense468]

sounds like a good bike for a younger kid. Not sure how olds yours are. That sounds about right for a dealer let me see what I can do for you. IN will get back to you it might take a few days. I won't forget though.

[JetBoatRich]

My boy is 6 years old and 75 pounds. So it should work for him, I was thinking of picking a bike up this week if possible.

[Bense468]

That sounds about right for him. It will be a good learning tool before he goes to an 80 or a 125. If you wanted a bike this week I doubt that I would be able to do anything for you. I have already made the call to see what he can do for me and he is going to get back to me. So I can probably let you know what I could get you one for this week but you would not have it in hand. It may not even be worth it if the shipping is too much. I don't think it is very much to ship something like that though. So I will let you know and we can go from there. This is a legit deal they own a dealership up there.

[boatnam2]

jetboatrich,here is a litle tip for you when buying a bike.call lacycle sports ask for bob the internet guy and he will always beat anybodys price.i dont know him i never bought a bike from him,but have found out that from street bike to a dirtbike he beats everyone.i used his name a few times just to see how much another dealers could come and they tell you straight out cant do it for that.2003xr70 1349 out the doorxr50 1240otd there web site is lacyclesports.com.

[Bense468]

well my buddy can beat that for Me. I am going to try and get the same deal for rich.

[JetBoatRich]

baotnam2,
That is the guy I am dealing with and looks good right now, I called around and he was the best so far. The other dealers said no way, I have the price in writing.
Lets see what Bense468 can do.
Thanks for the help.

[missboatnam1]

rich, he just sprung this guy on me today too....ow well, hopefully all of us 50ers will be flyin high soon now that we know were to buy them :rolleyes:

[JetBoatRich]

[Mandelon]

What about Sis and Dad???

[JetBoatRich]

Mandelon:
What about Sis and Dad??? One step at a time, I am working on one for me right now.

[fear the turtle]

Just my $.02
If you are considering a xr70, I would take a long hard look at the new Suzuki drz110. Similiar in seat height the suzuki may be a little taller, better suspension, half clutch with ability to convert to a full clutch. JMHO, and I have no relation to the industry, but it's a much better bike in the same range. And don't let the 110 scare you, it's dialed down user friendly, with the ability to rev it out in the future.

[JetBoatRich]

What is the price for that bike?

[fear the turtle]

I was told $1600 by Champion Motorcycles in Mesa. But on cycle trader, there's a shop in LA or Corona(not sure) advertising them for $1199.

[JetBoatRich]

I looked at both bikes and printed the documentation. The guys I am thinking of buying from carry both. They are the LA group you were talking about. idea
I may end of changing my mind once there idea I will look for more opinions from the boards and make an smile_sp educated decision smile_sp

[JetBoatRich]

Just got home from LA Cycle and went ahead and bought the DRZ-110, you were right better bike. My son can't wait till the cast comes off the foot to ride.

[Mandelon]

My son can't wait till the cast comes off the foot to ride. eek! eek! eek! eek!
Is this it???
