Well i decided it was time to let her go. I was thinkin of all the ways i could spend the money, decided stickin it in the bank and forgetting about it would be best.

Its for sale for 6. the brother bike is too. I only cleaned mine up. i guess i will do the brother next week. Kinda stinks, we just freshened them both up. if your interested just shoot me a pm.

Very nice bike! Why you selling it? I sold mine last year to pay off some bills. I miss it like crazy, but it was tough getting time to ride it, and time to do the maintenance on it... and it was just a money pit. I miss it and I dont...

I just dont have the time for it. between school, work and the girlfriend i dont have any spare time. I think im gonna get my truck back in shape and just chill out.

No, no part out here. I dont have any of the stock parts anymore. if i get what i think i will out of it i will be more than happy.

yah I'm kinda thinkin about the same thing now. Racing is just a money pit anymore and it's so hard to do time wise for me as well. I'm thinking about selling the bike and buying a rocket or building up my ranger a little more, but I don't know yet.

Thats just it. it cost me more to race one weekend then it does to freshen an engine. i was spending 200 bucks in a weekend on hotel costs, fuel, race gas, entry fees, parking fees, and every other fee they can think about.

yah I usually spend a few hundred a race weekend as well. Then you have to think of anything you break and/or need to replace on the bike!

I have been thinking the same thing, but i just dont think i could do it. I havent RIDDEN my r is quite some time. I miss riding, i just have NO time and when I do i hate spending all the money.

I paid my quad off over the summer and that was a huge accoplishment for me considering i paid the whole thing off myself with exception to a few months where my dad covered me.

If i do sell. I want to pick up either a 125 2 stroke bike or a trx250r. Something that i could buy and still have money left over after selling my quad.

don't do it man!! that bike is sick!! why would you give away a bike that you put 12,000 in to just to have 6000 sit in the bank? I'd rather have 12,000 sit in the garage.......just powdercoat the hubs orange;) and ride it for fun.

Honestly that is one of my favorite 450r's

The longer it sits in the garage ... the more it loses value.

It's a tough decision to make , but sometimes it's the best. I sold my YFZ for less than 1/2 of what I had paid for it a year previous.... PLUS I had included all the aftermarket parts I had .. some of which had ZERO ride time. I knew that the longer it sat there for ... the less money I would get for it. :ermm:

I did the same thing about 3 years ago. Never in a million years did i think i would ever sell my quad but i did. Just had different priorities, and my girlfriend...haha. So i know what your going through man. Heck of a nice bike you got there, its a shame to see them go for half of what they should be worth.

Don't forget about your spleen. Pretty worthless organ as well. :D

Why don't you sell the one bike and keep one?

No time. If i keep letting my bank get bigger and bigger, by the time i graduate high school i will buy a house being foreclosed on. Hell, in my brothers neighborhood one just sold for 36k. nice house too.

I will miss the bike though. There was a couple cool things about it that i have never seen before. for example it revved so fast, it seemed like a 2 stroke. The quad rate shox were awesome, suspension was always there when you needed it. Not to mention the power. Hell the brother bike is even more powerful. they will rip your arms off, thats for sure. :devil:

Heres the trailer we built. fits two quads and all the extra junk perfect, or three quads and nothing else. Usually we have a 6 foot tall, 4 foot wide cabinet and a full size toolbox in there too, they just happen to be pulled out. It has a workbench on the nose. Has a shelf on the nose. Has two 8 foot lights (two bulbs each) down each side with a 4 footer across the front. completely wired with switches, breakers, and generator ready. duplicolor coated floor and waterproof walls.

Lights off:
