Because its dirty, looks a bit tired and unloved!
If it was all that the guy would have at least cleaned it before the ad pic was taken not to mention the missing front sprocket guard and case saver, this has quite likely damaged on the casing from a big bundle of chain!
Yeah. Dirt smeared into the seat, missing graphics and most parts. New pipe but the primary drives are worn...
K, I see what your saying now, thanks once again.

I'm partial to RM's but I think either of the YZ's would be a be the better choice for you simply because the RM while it can be ridden effectively on trails and woods rides, it's really a track bike, where the blue bikes are just as happy on the trail as the track. But I will say this, you get the RM and learn how to ride that on woods and tight trails, i believe in time it would make you a better rider.
2013 is a 3k bike. Been ridden hard and put away wet.
The 06 is a great lookin bike and well maintained. I would say 2800 for that one.
The RM is spot on with price and also very clean. For woods the 03's hit is violent for awesome blasts of power when blowing out of a corner and heading for the big big double. It can be tamed for a couple of hundred bucks though.

Bikes are a lot less expensive here in tx, and I have never heard of this registry issue for an off-road machine. I suppose it's a Yankee thing? I'm staying here where dirtbikes is cheap and their titles is only good for trophy cases. I just sold my '04YZ250 for $1,800 with 37hrs on bottom/top. First two who came to test ride got scared by the hit and said they need somehing "less fast".. puss

The 2013 would be the better deal between that and the 2006 yz. Forks alone would be worth it. but see which one will deal further.
Mine was geared stock. the guy said he knew how to ride and the last bike he rode was a couple years ago and it was a 350. I'm thinking kTm.. nope an 80's model xt350 and it was 10 years ago! Skaredy pants off him ha ha.
Also, a guy who came to look at my yz450f said he rode his buddies crf450r and liked big power but thought mine was too much and seemed surprised by the torque! And it had a tooth dropped off the rear and still would stand up without even trying.
Personally I thought it was a little much myself ha ha thats why I sold it
but I'm more of a woods rider these days.
