Who would buy this bike?

i would like to see a street legal kx500

 

Top end rebuild kits don't seem that expensive. If I'm only doing it every 10-12k miles, I'm cool with that. Or did you mean 1.0-1.2k miles?

 

690SMC FTW

 

That would be way cool. I got a cr500 id like to do a conversion on to an af frame than make it street legal.

 

Plan on at the very least 700 bucks. You have to get the head machined and replace the valves most of the time.
look into the DRZ400SM, KTM690SMC, and Husky 610SM.

 

Love to. Can't afford/don't want to spend that much. This is going to be my commute to base/ride on the Corpus Christi beaches bike.

 

$700 for the mechanic to do it?

 

no you.

A machine shop will do the head work. That is where most of the cost is. Then you gotta buy a piston, rings, valves, gaskets, hope the cylinder is good, etc.

 

You can find DRZ's for 3k all day long.

 

Id look into this OP^ the drzs are solid reliable bikes

 

Aren't DRZs pretty heavy? I kinda wanta wheelie/act like a general idiot on this thing.

 

DRZ would be a good option
I would get one but I would crush it

did you get rid of your Daytona?

 

They are a little over 300lbs while a mx supermoto is like 220-240lbs

Idk your price range but these are good bikes I have one myself ^ fuel injection FTW!

 

I did. I bought it for $7k and sold it for $10.5. It was a Special Edition (1 in 165 in the US) so I knew I could get in and out quick.

I don't get too attached to motorcycles like I do my truck. Typically, as soon as I buy a bike I post it on craigslist for a high price. If someone bites, I typically sell.

 

I wouldn't street an MXer. To much maintenance and ill mannered for the street. Mine wants to be either full throttle or full brakes.
I have a CRF 450 sumo for the track and a DRZ for the street. 50hp kit on the DRZ makes it an awesome street (or track) ride. WRX 250 is a lot of fun too.

Yea I saw that one. I like it, but he wants more money for the supermoto setup.

That original bike the guy said he would take $3500.
