(BikeMart Red): Exhaust header's are under the frame, 1.1 Mil. Seems like there is damage or something worth noting (see red circle - indicated by seller - not me)
Nice setup all in all but for offroading, ramming the headers against some rocks (or street curb) could be an uninvited surprise. Defeats the intended purpose of the offroading design of the bike. Blue stars are a little overdone though IMHO. Getting crap into the rear fender could also be something unwanted.
No saddles or compartments for carrying equipment.
vs
(Dave's Black) This one sold for 1.0 on Dave's Esl Cafe, and it has vintage ammo case mod compartments (welded and fabricated removable), new chain & sprockets (front & rear), new tread on rear, top-of-the-line custom pipes, new brake pads, clean forks, custom air filter, custom grips, and good parts (engine and carb). Run on Elf Fully Synthetic ($20 a bottle). Came with papers, too. *Also threw in Shell O-ring chain lube and cheapie BMW road map of Korea. This bike was also ridden on a long-range tour without problems, from asphalt to serious kick as* mud,streams,and rocks. Highly versatile bike for 125cc.
Best deal found here in terms of arms-length-transaction, on Daves, vs anywhere in Korea. Sold below market. Ex-pat buyer came down to the motorcycle club and viewed the bike. No pressure to buy, all aspects of the bike honestly disclosed. Buyer also ate with the club members - free and on the house. Arranged for shipping through the club with professional delivery company.
I'll be surprised to see another like this come again on Dave's. |

hey guys the troy is mine. just want to say bigfoot is a real stand up guy should he ever sell another motorcycle again. first of all, i was jaded by the 20+ hayabusas lined up at his motorcycle club and could immediately tell that he was serious about his bikes. he fully accommodated any questions i had and even offered his place for me to stay the night if i wasn't heading home.
anyway, ive been riding this badboy for the past week and a half and already been on a small tour. love it to death and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for one. the engine sits nice and high so you can hop off of curbs without thinking about it bottoming out. the suspension is soft like a motocross bike and has a rear swing arm so negotiates bumps on and off the street no problem. with the full exhaust and air filter i got it up to 120 in a tunnel on the weekend. and on top of it all I got a smoking deal on it as confirmed by my buddy who owns a bike shop!! A few guys here also run rx125s and swear by them. it's more of an offroad bike but you should look into that.
thanks again joe!! |
