FS: KTM 125sx

[uwshho]

Hey guys,

My first post, wasnt planning it on being a for sale post, but the time has come for me to get rid of it.

So anyways the details are as follows:

98 KTM 125 sx

5 hours on a fresh race rebuild (have receipts for $1500)

Bike goes bloody well, starts first time, hasnt been thrashed as I was only just learning how to ride it.

Its got a near new tyre on the rear and the front has plenty of tread left.

It has "unbreakable" clutch and brake levers

Aftermarket handle bars

Fresh gearbox oil

Aftermarket shock with adjustable damper

Not much left standard on the bike

It has been painted black (looks good in black)

I dont know too much more than this as im new to bikes, I would love to keep it but have other interests to pursue.

Genuine reason for selling, the bike has been looked over by a qualified bike mechanic and he gave it the OK.

Have been told a fair asking price would be $3800 but am open to offers/swaps.

Cheers

Caleb

^ Jeepers. Why do people let their bikes turn to shit like that (the '06 125) then try and sell it looking like it does?

Even the slightest scratch on my bikes annoy the shit out of me.

[TrentNz]

i don't think its possible to have fun on a dirtbike/motorcross bike if your to scared to get it scratched

[uwshho]

I dont know what the bike is worth hence why I put offers on there. I just go from what people have told me. Have been told by 3-4 people that its worth $3500-3800 because of aftermarket parts and the full race rebuild with proof.

Well it is.

I am assuming you mean you do ride such places where your bike could get scratched but just get annoyed later if it does and go fix it and/or buy the necessary replacement parts which I'd suspect is on par with the rest of us. It's what I aim to do anyway. And obviously not what the person selling the 06 bike was doing.

Sadly, a bike isn't worth what people tell you it's worth, it's worth what people will actually pay for it.

[ktm84mxc]

Would have to agree with Jay a bike is only worth what some one is prepared to pay, bills for how much you've spent maintaining it will only help selling it.
You will never recoup what you've spent on it, a few tips when buying look at the bike & asking price deduct the costs of replacing any faults eg chain & sprocket, wheel bearings, brake pads, broken plastics, handle bars, levers, grips etc . And always look inside the airbox if it's filthy chances are the bike has been poorly maintained with engine issues to arise latter.
Just my 2 cents worth.

[uwshho]

I have never stated that the bike is worth $3800, just simply said I have been told it is worth that amount as I dont know anything about bikes, right next to that I clearly put that I am open to offers.

If you were genuinely interested you could make me an offer, you may just be surprised how much i'm willing to let it go for.

[TrentNz]

pictures would be nice for people interested in buying.

[uwshho]

[Taz]

Slowly getting closer to it's real value.

Slowly getting closer to it's real value.

So true...

[ktm84mxc]

Yep the market has spoken, suspect the sale price may just exceed the amount he spent on it.

[uwshho]

So I see all power rangers are the same... Thought you dirt bike guys might be a slightly different breed but nope.

Instead of helping, you just want to criticize.

This sites a WOFT.

Its a shame really if someone had made me an offer they would have had a nice cheap bike.

[honda_power]

i see your on offroadexpress, and looking to end up with a 4wd, ill trade ya a mitsi l200 4wd with no straight panels and bulletholes thru the roof :scooter::scooter::scooter:

Oh sorry mate, didnt realise you had made an offer.

If you had the money and actually made an offer of what you thought it was worth you may have owned it. So really its you thats not getting it...

ill take it off ya hands for free ;)

[Trudes]

Is it still for sale?

[TrentNz]

pretty sure it is, give him a call/text

[ktm84mxc]

I wasn't being negative just realistic on what it would sell for.
I sold my 98 KTM 300mxc with service history , spare air filters x3, plastics, manuals in nov 2006 got $2800. I'd spent over $1500 on new conrod kit, piston, shock rebuild, fork service etc in the previous 9mths did it help selling it or was that it looked as new[2 days hard graft] ????
You can't get away from the fact it is 14yrs old.

[uwshho]

Right. Will give this 1 last shot... :angry2:

$2k will come with trailer (if wanted), gaerne boots, a decent helmet...

[TrentNz]

would you swap for a downhill bike :P

[del-solider]

Whats the trailer condition?

I reckon 2k is an all right price if it comes with a decent trailer...

[uwshho]

Trailer is very average. Its an old pop out camper thats had everything taken off. Its tows nicely as its very light. Fits the bike on perfectly. Has no wof or reg.

[uwshho]

Need money this weekend so have dropped the price to $1700. Still comes with the extras.

[del-solider]

How come you haven't put it on trademe to sell?

Would have a much better shot on there..

[uwshho]

It is on trademe, cheers

[Teava]

$500 firm offer mate!

[cheese]

Have you got all the bits to reinsate the pop top camper? I'd be keen on that!

[Adriaan]

$1000 and you have a deal today !
