Hmmm. Anybody want to guess the year? 2001, maybe? I think I'll text the guy. Don't really have any extra money, but that does look like an excellent home for a KDX engine. If I can pick it up cheap....

If the price is right it'd be great. If it's a 2000 it'll have the same forks as me. Showa's 49mm. If it's an 01 it'll have kayaba 47?mm. Apparently they handled well but were a bit twitchy which would be ok for the woods...

correction. Just got a response. The rear wheel has been sold or something, and for the rest of the bike (no motor, no back wheel) $600? I think I'll take a pass.

I'd offer $400-$500 for it, especially with no rear wheel.

Agreed. I'm really too tight on cash to even think about it. My bikes been down all winter for minor repairs that I still haven't managed to fund. If anyone is in the area, feel free to jump on it. I think it'd make a nice ride!

I would take a pass also with no back wheel. It is a project already, no need to have to scout for a wheel too for $600.
