should i buy a new or used 300ex ??
if a used one what should i watch for??

[sweet300ex]

if it is used look for frame cracks/welds, plastic condition, bent bars, running condition, axel bearing, swingarm cracks/welds, and other things like some ppl will suggest, i just cant think

[KrazyKid300ex]

New

If you are going to go used, I'd suggest the 400ex over the 300ex

[250EXking]

I voted new. The only was i would buy used is off my buddies and knew how they rode. Since honda is dragging there arses here you could get a new 300ex pretty cheap right now.

huh? the 300EX is going up in price??? Is this the same dealer that charged you $100 for a rear brake job?? LMFAO

As for your backup starter, push that SOB and pop the clutch.... or find a hill...

[intruder_atx]

same dealer but not same as the break job that break job was in canadian dollars

[intruder_atx]

but i think its a evil dealer lol he wont take trade ins and wont come down a cent on the bikes well he will take trade ins but on a bike that is worth 5 thou he will give u 3 thou and remember im in canadian dollars

ahhhh...the small details that make all the difference. :p



If I were you, I'd be looking at another dealer. Brand new 300EX's are not flying out the doors of Honda dealerships.... you should be able to get a very good deal now.

F*** it im gonna get a used one in a nothin year im gonna need a car

:confused: must be that Canadian lingo stuff.... ;)


Honestly, thats what I'd do. When I bought my 400, there were not many out on the used market for a good deal. If I were buying a 400EX today, I know it would be a good used one.

[roostin_dale]

used..check out Sparkey416ex's..he has a darn nice one for sale..its a 1998.

In the classifieds it is labled something like "pro 330EX ORANGE"
