I bought this 2003 Kawasaki KX250 last month for $1,400. The original list price was $1,800 but I managed to talk the owner down a bit. After putting some elbow grease and $350 of parts into the bike along with graphics and a seat cover from DeCal Works, this bike is freshened up and ready to ride!
I took it out to Radersburg, Montana on November 1st to enjoy a 60 degree day riding all to myself. The bike is a ton of fun to ride and runs great!

Buying cheap 2 strokes us such a fun project. Theyre much easier to work with and can often get entirely modern looking parts. My friend rebuilt one and I'm probably going to buy one to do a full build soon.

@noknownthrone2487 Год назад

Wow man, what a beautiful bike! I'm totally biased for Kawi. I think the modernizing of the old bikes is really awesome! Grew up riding 2 strokes, been on a 4 stroke kx 450 for a while, and really really want to pick up a 250 2 stroke again. Something like this is absolutely perfect! Nice man :)

@ryanpenner7387 Год назад

I flip bikes too, I always go for a Restyle kit. I always put modern graphics on to match the restyle, make it look new and fresh. The original style graphics you put on aren’t for me, kind of takes away from the restyle kit. But maybe some guys like that. Keep up the quick flip videos like this! I love these kind of videos! Nothing like the thrill of making a good profit after a fun quick build.

@coloradodirtbike5930 Год назад

it looks nice and clean for a older rider. I myself liked tricked out look and not a fan of oem style but I know a lot of older riders prefer the clean not over the top oem look.

I love re style kits. So much so that I have actually done my own over the years. Many years ago I fitted kxf250 2010 plastics to a kmx 125.i fitted my old ktm plastics to a Chinese thing then sold it at a huge profit. My current kxf250 is a 2010 and I have 19/20 plastics fitted. I always find a way to get them to bolt up. And I'll always do it unless it's something cool from the 70s or 80s then I'll leave them original

@KincadePavich Год назад

That's super cool! I've never ventured to try fitting newer plastics that weren't part of a restyle kit. That's awesome!

@c4r5on88 Год назад

@@KincadePavich it's worth trying it some time. Obviously some won't work without a bit of cutting but if you cut and wet send them so it looks like a factory shape then you can't tell. I only do it if I have the parts laying around. I recently bought a AJP pr3 125 that had no plastics and it now has kxf plastics on now but they are now matte black instead of the green. Bike is up for sale ready for a little Christmas present for someone. Looks pretty smart considering. Great work anyway I hope to see more from you :)
