    What I sent

    What is tacomworld's opinions on this bike? I would be interested in it to learn how to ride and crash on. I know the exhaust needs work but that seems simple enough to fix, just weld on a similar exhaust or buy one.

    Unless your an antique motorcycle collector i'd steer clear. It looks pretty worthless.

    ^^ im going to get on board with that. i have had some super cheap motorcycle projects and they turn into headaches. if your good with mechanics then go for it. if your thinking that your getting a solid daily driver out of this..... i would say no.

    Definitely not a daily driver out of it, something to plink around mechanically on--I have fixed a few two strokes before, and the guy says it runs great now.


    Just really something to learn how to ride on and maybe let others learn on, aka a trash bike I guess.

    There's no way that bike runs "good" with that pipe on it. Keep your money.

    No shit.

    Pinger with no expansion chamber?
    Ya... it might run, but not well.

    That bike has 10ft pole marks all over it.
    For $200 I might pick it up as a project, but not one penny more.

    Well when I first called the guy wanted 400 :laugh:

    A day later it was 250.

    Now he said he would go for 125 which I thing is cheap enough for my first dirt bike to learn the basics on and tinker with when I need something to do. :)

    And if it lasts past me lol then maybe teach others on.

    Hopefully my uncle can figure out a better pipe for me (he is some big shot motorcycle mechanic in Utah)

    Would this type of bike normally come with a headlight? Is it feasible to install one?
