A perfect example of STD's (Save The Dirtbikes). I cannot belive that anyone would do this to a CR. This is terrible!

The Shop
This is him.
Pit Row
XR100 motor, KX80 frame (this one actually looks pretty cool IMO)
XR400 motor, CR125 frame (Look at that front fender! WTH?!!!)
XR200 motor, partial Cr125 frame, YZ plastic on front
...If only I had some of the high-end paintball stuff he wants that could land me this sweet bike!! LOL...
I personally never tire of these craigslists ads. I welcome them just as I do my morning cup of coffee.
There is nothing funnier than someone that wasn't trying to be funny, and you can always count on the occasional craigslist motorcycle ad to deliver.
Somewhere in my vast archives of computer files I saved a local listing from a few years ago of someone trying to sell a CR500.
The sales description included a long, detailed and graphical narrative of the circumstances that led to the eventual listing of the bike (complete with a thorough description of injuries sustained and recovery process).
If I can scrape it up I will post it here to share the hilarity it provides.
I emailed the guy and offered 100 bucks for it, i doubt he will sell it for that but worth a try. I could use some of the parts for my 86. If I get it I will put it out of its misery.
Anyways.....they were the bigger size pit bike conversions that full sized dudes were racing. I kid you not.....I saw some $20,000 + BBR works pit bikes that would blow your mind. I couldn't ever afford one , but I rode a few......and holy crap!!.....they were one fun little bike!
Check out this puppy - KX500 motor in (modified) kx100 frame:
And Burn......the larger bikes like the one I posted above.....most bikes in that size range after a conversion could be about $3500.00 - $7000.00. It was the fully modified bikes that size with the perimeter frames and so forth that were all custom made.....and around $15,000. The really expensive ones were the smaller 110cc sized pit bikes that were setup with like 12" - 14" wheels ( I think that's what size they were ) ....like what Kyle Coen was racing.....those were the $20,000 bikes. Looking at one up close....you could see the craftsmanship and exactly how exotic they really were.....really impressive.
needs knew spockes to fastest tho
