I see a tweaked rear fender and tail pipe....sub-frame problems maybe?
I live up closish to Seattle, I could take a poke at the 200.
That would be awesome! Then I could know if it was worth buying and then agree to meet him halfway. the only problem then is that I am only a kid and a little shy of his asking price.

The more that I look at that bike....the more I don't like it. Things about it just get me wrong, like needing a clutch, handle bars, headlight, rear fender and seat cover.....SOOOO many parts, seems like maybe he crashed it, or bought it crashed and refurbed it.....also the parts he lists that aren't on the bike.....A new fatty is a few hundred, so take that off the price, a new (stock) fender is $65 and the light is another $45...the headlight and shroud would be an additional $150 or more....And new forks, but KDX forks....just seems wrong.
I looked at that add yesterday and blew right by it....sometimes adds just don't appeal to me.

Yeah, I definetely see where you are coming from on all the stuff thats been replaced. Seems good at first but dig a little deeper and not so much. the fatty he bought from a neighbor I think.

I am a little confused though. What were you trying to get at when listing the prices of the parts?

Any more thoughts on the second kdx? If the subframe is bent its not very much. Shouldn't be too hard. it also needs new tires.

My pick of the 3 you listed is that 220....it is the best set up bike of the 3....they are all ridden, you can see that, but the 220 has the most usable mods done to it and they are actually on the bike.

That would be my pick also, but he was pretty stubborn on his price. He won't take any less than 2000, which was his asking price last week.
