3Pooches version 3.5

I'm in Manassas. So trying to plan and execute a day ride to there is some doing. Not un-possible, but it's not a quick load up and drive to have a few hours of fun and head home. As with all my decision, I won't make a final one until sometime after I sign the paperwork.

 

The seat height is good for me. And this place is cheaper than the joint I posted. There's supposedly dealer local to me. I wonder if I could get him to price match.

I have to do some more research. I think I looked at the brand previously and found a site that had hop-up parts for them. Wouldn't mind a headlight and maybe a taillight. I don't want JT running into me.

 

I think @crashdb should get the crf250f (fuel injected) that’s making 39hps. Just get the expensive one now and sell it for $500 off MSRP in 30 years when it doesn’t die and you need the space.

 

What's MSRP? I'll guess $11k....

 

Timbrook wanted me to buy a lightly used one for 6kish OTD - I got my bike for $5800 used and it’s a beast. They retain their value if you do the bare minimum maintenance.

 

You're waaaay off

Math ain't my thing but this doesn't compute.

 

What part? Buy the bike now for 6k. In 30 years sell it for $5500 (not considering inflation) and bam… 30 years of riding for the low low price of $500.

 

You're saying $5800 used. Mark/Honda saying $4800 brand new.

 

After much consideration I have decided the Honda Monkey is the dirt bike for me.

 

I'm guessing it's another grand by the time you add destination fee, dealer fee, etc.

 

BTW, The forestry service just did a 600 acre controlled burn at PMR on Monday. It's probably open now,...but smelly

 

Haha. I bet it is. I got the email a couple days ago from the forest service saying that.

Hope all is well with you all.

 

Hey Bill. All are fine thanks. Trying to kick a cold that I got last Friday fishing in WV....was windy and snowing like a blizzard over there.

Yeah, we could smell it burning Monday and I'm about 25 miles or so east. Looked like a thick fog had settled in town

 

Right on! Hope you can kick the cold soon. You are a dedicated fisherman right there.

 

Tiffany’s bike (2022 CRF125FB) is MSRP $3649. OTD at Timbrooke was $4700. I’m assuming you can pick up a new/lightly used CRF250F for ~6k OTD.


I bought crf250rx for 5.8k (but it was raced for 2 season). The RX or F designation make a pretty significant difference in almost all categories except for, surprisingly, straight up HP.

 

Well lookit you and all your fancy race bike letters...

 

Here's what I think I'm a do to start down this hare scramble path. Local dealer here carries the Kayo off-brand. They have a couple of the 250s on the floor. I'll mosey over there and take a look. The Kayo appears to be a decent halving bike. Not too much overseas, not too much big four. And the price is nice. If I just can't, they are a real dealer and have other makes there. I believe they have a Kawasaki something or other. Then we'll go from there

 

@03dumdum how was the race? I want the details! How long was it? Was it technical type riding or some flowing single track?
