I have first hand experience with this. Its not worth it. Don't make the same mistake I did. Pissing money away to have a cool bike right now is making an impulsive decision. I had a ninja 250 for 2 months while I had my M1 at 22 years old (27 now). Sold it and got a 2006 cbr600rr, insured...

Not only is this disgustingly overpriced... but this same bike was on kijiji with 42ish km I believe within a year ago. It was posted at $3400 lol. So even more mileage and...
Forgot some things..
-Wr250x feels much more twitchy at higher speeds, many have opted for a steering stabilizer. Owners have said it could be due to the difference in the wr's geometry. It is very noticeable in comparison to the Drz. Only at high speeds though.
-Drz you can short shift and...
Owned two 2007 drz400sm's and now a 2010 wr250x. I too heard every highway/commuting debate. Before I begin the drz's has full pipe 3x3 and rejet and the wr250x has pipe/AIS removed/flapper mod and programmer.
My opinion after riding them back to back:
-People praising the 6th gear on the wrx...
Sounds to me like you'd enjoy riding something like a dual sport or supermoto. Especially living outside of the gta with some fun roads and areas to explore. I went the sport bike route to start after having a lot of motocross and mountain bike experience and ended up on a supermoto for the past...
Depends on the situation for me.
I didn't enjoy commuting on the bike when it involved highway stop and go. Doesn't do anything for me. Now that my commute involves back roads/country I just take new routes and "the long way home" to keep myself entertained.
My previous commute was awful and...
Motor wise these little things are almost indestructible. But yes, I was totally aware of the situation, and the owner was more than happy to explain every detail and provide history and receipts for everything since new. It was bought for cheap and then all of the worn parts/bits were replaced...
I think maybe he meant "bike" but the phone maybe auto corrected it to "nine." Could be wrong though..
And the ad is down because I bought it! Nice little bike and they did a great job resurrecting it from its original state. Added it to the stable along with my other bike, should be fun.
You can get the dual yosh for well under 2k online shipped to your door.
I understand where you're coming from but no one will buy that for even what you mentioned. And if someone does I'm sure when they decide to sell it their ad will also end up in this thread.
Also.. with regards to $8600...
This kills me! Hahaha. Originally posted as "taking offers." Probably got a bunch of realistic offers, then decided to throw it up for $9500..
Stock drz400sm: $6999
Twin pipe yosh: $1500
Jet kit: $100
3x3 mod: FREE
"3 hour install": Also FREE and if it takes you 3 hours to install a full pipe on...
I thought the same until I dug deeper.
The last one one is a recent US import (not the end of the world but can't get the history) and I received better pics. Looks like it's been put away dirty for the winter.. and looks like it has more than 9k. Final price was $4800. No thanks.
Currently looking for a wr250x. This can't be right. Someone tell me I'm not crazy for thinking these aren't worth more than 3-3500 max? 8 year old stock 250's? Really...
Went through this exact thing when selling one of my bikes a few weeks ago. I got the same emails. Some people are getting pretty creative for sure.
I actually received text messages from local area code numbers as well, so be weary of those too! I've never seen that before but they are now...
Also, regarding the "mean face lady."
Don't know what happened there.. But feeling intimidated or not, if you and the seller agreed to a lesser amount, I would refuse to pay tax on whatever number she came up with... It would be 13% on what YOU said you paid for the bike. I would have had some...
As mentioned before, there will be no investigation if yourself and the seller or vice versa, are on the same page about the sale price claimed upon registration. The only way I could see this biting you in the *** is if the seller was unaware that you claimed to purchase the bike for a lesser...
I have a drz400sm and love it but I would not choose it over an sv650 if it's main purpose was a 45 min hwy commute every week. That will get old quick. They are for pleasure riding, commuting on highways... not so much. I've done Milton-Waterloo a few times on the drz and it's totally doable...
