500 for one that you cant really test sounds steep, but the bike you mention is a pretty good rig if it is in good shape. The forks are junk, but cheap to swap out with some of larger diameter. The motor can be changed to suit whatever you like doing, but for lifting the front wheel and spinning the rear tire, it is great in stock form.

Ok thank you I'm going to buy it or a dtr 200 Or something like that I will have to look again for 700. I don't want to spend a lot for one and yes I know you get what you pay for but I know how to work with motors and I have a friend who did it for years and he's very help full with it but I thought I would ask around first and how can I tell what a bikes worth

quite simple. if you are familiar with anything mechanical, my guess is that you could pull up the parts diagram on something like bike bandit and see where it went and have it in, noting there is a single ball bearing with it.

It's a $95 fix btw. Then here's the last question 2 or 4 stroke. Lady's will ask why go 2 strokes when you can go 4 my answer is I only need 2 to do were others take 4

It's really rider preference. The four strokes have the low bottom and torque but the cost of repairs are a bit more.two strokes rev hire in the low-end torque is a bit lower but both runs very well

If you have a friend that has a four stroke try it like a CRf250r 450 mx bikes in that line of bikes

I ride 4 strokes for the ease of low end power

2 strokes are awesome to
