It is too old to race, but great for play bike.
Offer $800 if he good tires, chain, sprockets, seat, and wheel bearings.
Start deducting if any of the above are worn out.
Make sure it starts withing the first 5 or 6 kicks. You need to be the one trying to start it first.
Now go drink a beer and relax.
Well its 12 yrs old and rebuilt .. Why would he want to unload it on craigslist for $900 ?? I'd back off myself .. Theres something else he found and trying to get his money back ... Its been raced and rode hard ... I'd put the money on another Bike ... NOT A GOOD DEAL BRO ..... Been a Biker for over 40 yrs .. And those Bikes is what i started with .... But never raced them ..
Ohhh yeah 900 bucks is cheap! I have a 01 kx250 too and I paid 1000 for it. Try to ask for a lower price if u haven't
yeah thats a pretty good deal depending on where your from what i'd do is check the vin number threw your state attornrey general and make sure the bikes running good and everything getting a title is pretty difficult but its not impossible like everyone acts like just make sure to get a notarized bill of sale so that way you take away the liability if its stolen
