I started using chains clipped on the foot-pegs instead of a chock and straps because it’s easier to load by myself and I thought it was more efficient. Well, this happened yesterday to my pit bike (YCF150 Pilot). I’m sure the pegs are cheap alloy with questionable welds, and this likely won’t happen with my Honda 250r or kawi 250, but I found interesting.
Looking at buying 2020 crf250r. Guy says he bought it new and can apply for a lost title but doesn’t have it on hand. His Facebook doesn’t look like the typical scammer/sketchy account and it’s priced at $4k.
I bought a 2006 kx250f back in 2012 without a title and never had an issue, but that was over a decade ago. Is it more of a concern now or does it not matter if I get a bill of sale and picture of his license?
TLDR: I have an 06 KX250f and wondering if it’s worth the money to buy a newer bike if I only ride a few times per season?
I’ve been riding MX since I was a little kid. I got really into it during high school (2012-2015) when I got a 2006 KX250f. I was riding every weekend I could at my local track. Stopped riding during college, but I’m finally getting back into it now that I have the time and money.
I still have the ‘06 Kawi. I’ve kept it in decent shape but I’m only riding 3 or 4 times a season now. I’m wondering now if it’s time to upgrade to a more modern bike (2018-22) or if I should save the money and keep the ‘06 since I don’t ride often.
I realize an 2018-22 is by no means “new” but they are within the price range I can afford and are significantly new than my 06. Question is, are they worth that cost or should I save the money for repairs/maintenance/riding expenses?
