Daughters don't ride these anymore...MX bikes for sale

I bought these bikes ('99 Honda CR80 & '00 Kawasaki KX80) when they were each 1 yr old for my daughters who at the time, loved riding on our track with dad.....Well at 18 and 19, they could care less about "dirt bikes" now (funny how that happens with girls ).

Anyhow, I am going to try listing on Craigslist for $1200 a piece, but if any Pelicans who are somewhat local want them, let me know and I will let em go cheaper.

I would put him on it in a few years once he masters the 50's then 60's. I hate to sell them, as they are a blast to ride. They are wicked fast. Makes my XR 75 I had as a kid seem like a pull start, briggs powered minbike.

Yep, those little bastards are fast.

My first bike was a Yamaha GTMX80, then I also had an XR75. Then right to a YZ125.

Back to the minis though, one of my favorite lines from Dirt Bike magazine was on a test of the new MX 60's of that year. The testers were blown away by the performance and said "Without exception, anyone small enough to fit on this bike is way too young for this much power."

The problem I have, Tim, is that I don't think you kept up with the maintenance...I'll need a PPI

I wish you were closer.

Thought about that, but I have two restored Honda 50's that are worth keeping, the 80's are still modern enough to compete and I doubt they will ever become "classics" like the 50's.

Jr Jackson #1 (will be 3 in July) is looking for a 50.
He has mastered the quad.

If I convince myself that I'd use one I'll pick up the other one for you.
