I've finnaly decided to get rid of one of my bikes, and im gonna buy a dirtbike to ride around (along wtih my quad). Buty i have NO clue how much bikes are worth

My friend has a 1990(i think) honda CR80, it has reeds, pipe, silencer, new suspension, bars... etc. Theres lots of stuff on it.
He told me he wants $1700 CND (1250 us) But it seems kind of high for a dirt bike that is over 10 years old?
I was thinking more like 900-1000 cnd (700-850 us?)

Another thing, i've only ridden a yz80 before(a newer one) it feels like it has enough power, and it seems to be the right size, but my friend thinks i need soemthing bigger (im 5'8ish" 175 pounds)

But i have never ridden a 125 or anything, and i dont really have a way to try one either?? :confused: I have ridden my uncles yamahaXT 600, and its so heavy, i an barely hold it up .. haha

would an 80 be ok? i dont think im gonna be racing on, i jsut want it to play on the trails and stuff.

you need a 125...5 8 is a little big for an 80.

well im 6'2 and i had driven a crf 230 and my uncle had a yz 80 and i think i would of had more fun on that. if all ur doin is playin it should be some fun. but yea get him to lower the price, little much for him to be askin. hopefully ill be gettin a 125 or 250 soon.
