Price Check: Kawasaki KR150 2000

[benLTR]

Hi, I can upload some pics in a day or two but I'm trying to find out a ballpark figure for a KR150 A-Model. It has done 25,000 KM and is in reasonably good condition.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

At 25000Kms a KR150 is about due for a new piston kit. Not a hard job, and kits can be got (overseas) for about $95.

If yours had a piston kit done and was in good condition, $2000 is about top dollar for one these days.

Good condition, 25000kms on the piston, $1500 might be closer to it's value.

Peoples are looking for small motorbikes at the moment with fuel costs as they are.

and from your Trademe question, Yes I can get new KR150a parts new from overseas at cheaper than NZ prices.

Hope that helps.

My 2001 KR150 had done over 45000k's with no work done to the engine whatsoever when I sold it. It was stolen from the guy who bought it from me 2 weeks after he got it so I dont know how long it went for. However, like RR say's you shouild definately invest in new piston and rings etc... They're are a really cool lil bike. I dont reckon you'd regret buying it. Just dont forget - 2 smokers sometimes blow up....

This was involved in a crash - the front suspension and stuff has had it. I'm not sure if the frame is OK or not but assuming the bike is worth around $1500 is it worth fixing? Or would it be better off to sell it for parts?

Thanks

If it needs a major fix up, then it's not worth it.

I would normally pay $500 for something like that, 'as is' for the lot.

You could get more by selling it as individual parts, but theres not a great demand for them.
