Sell your hybrid?

Post by letitsnow »

I think that I would like to try one for racing harescrambles. Do any of you want to sell yours?

make your own, not that complicated.
If I were to sell mine, I'd have to sell it for at least .... well, let's just say you couldn't afford it :wink:

Totally agree on both points.

Even if you don't have a welder, you can still do most of the work with common hand & power tools. Then you can have a machine shop complete what you can't.

I've been asked several times about selling mine. I always say 'no', but if pressed for a price, saying '$5k' usually ends the conversation. Every time I ride or even just look at the bike, I get a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I did it myself and there isn't another bike out there exactly like it.

Yeah, I committed the cardinal sin of adding up my receipts the other day--$5k still ain't enough!

I deliberately tossed my reciepts. I don't want to know.

It did not have to be so much, but I'm not too bright sometimes.

Not counting expendables (tires, bars, etc) I am about 1800 into mine. 900.00 for the bike and 900.00 for all the parts. This also accounts for parts from my bike that I sold to help pay for the CR parts.

My advice is that now that CR125's are getting cheap, is to buy a runner for about 1200.00, sell the engine and do the little that is required for the hybrid your self or take it to a shop. With a 2003 swingarm I only needed to shorten the bushings and get the cases drilled. Also had a friend weld the 2 new mounts on. Now to do a CR hybrid would only take a couple weekends with all the parts on hand.

I'm at about $2500. I spent more on the KX roller than what I would have liked, but I had a hard time finding an '04/'05 that was reasonably priced.
