KX85 or CR85

[Sammikins]

not that much [i have ridden a yz and a rm 85]

saw that cr... looks like a decent deal for the amount of hours and the condition of it... especially when theres 03's on there for more

id have a look at this one... in auck as well

Sounds a little cheap though, too good to be true?

Ok just spoke to that guy and checking out a cr85 on sunday, wants a quick sale cos his son is bored with it and overseas, theres a park across the road from his factory to tear up in the middle of penrose, mint!!

nah, if your meaning stolen/ $ owing get the frame numb before you go look at it and check it

my yz was a 'too good to be true' kinda deal, turned out the guy was a millionare and didnt really care what it sold for lol... so good deals are out there

go have a look and a ride anyway

More worried about secret broken stuff that they pretend they didn't know about when it breaks 2 weeks later...

looks pretty clean... still running std pipe, bars and graphics even - they are the first things to break or peel if ridden hard. Also got honda logos on side of the seat - they wear off quite easy so it hasnt been used that much. Of course, they could have been swapped back on but i doubt it.

Maybe take a kber in auckland to check it out with you.

even if you had to do a top end soon it would still be a good deal

Done. Spoke to the guys dad, he sounds pretty genuine... Told me all about his son and how he has too many bikes and got bored of this one etc... nice guy.

as for the kx, ive never owned one myself. and hondas are just better

Just knew it was only a matter of time for that line hahahahaha

Either is good and you will learn to ride either. I would invest in a flywheel weight though.

KX85 they don't make the CR85 anymore.

You had much experience with these? Are they any good for light weight (cc) bikes? On TM the guy who trades Stealhy has them for everything else but KX125. He advertises mostly for 250cc while I've looked at them. Would FWW make much difference to a 85?... if you can find one for it.

[clmintie]

I really don't think you will need a fly wheel weight on a KX 85, they have good enough bottom end for trail riding, especially for a light weight such as your self (you're welcome...)

I'm on call this weekend and the KX is getting a piston/rings etc (at 99.4 hours.....only did rings at 50) but you're welcome to have a blat on it next weekend somewhere............... Don't rush into anything without riding a few....... Have you sold Darren yet?

my mate looked into getting one for his kx250, was told by the bike shop that they could get one made for cheaper, at any weight he wanted

Are you looking at getting one for yours? I recently saw one on TM - not sure if still listed or not though.
Have also seen for an 85, not that i'd bother with one - i don't think you need one.

i have one on the mrs's cr85. makes a big difference.

the sthely comes with good instruction and fitting equipment too. no mods were required.

Aww shucks, lightweight haha tell that to the cow at the pub that told me Im fat...

Darren is on tm at the moment but no sign of interest yet ... gonna miss that bike. yeah got one of each lined up for a test ride on sunday, but keen to try a few and see what it's like. I do know for a fact that I am waaaay overdue for an upgrade.
