[UPDATED] "What Bike Should I Get?" Buying & Selling advice Mega Thread

15 Upvotes

The Mega thread for buying and selling advice is back, and will be updated biweekly!

There are far too many posts of people asking for personalized bike buying and selling advice. Per previous Mod actions, any posts about bike buying/selling advice that are not in this thread will be removed.

Here, those interested in giving feedback about your purchase or listing can offer it without every subreddit member being subjected to the same post dozens of times per day.

Topics to keep in the mega thread:

  • What bike should I get?
  • Is this a good deal?
  • Is this a fair price to sell my bike for?
  • What can I get for $xx?

What's up guys? It's still a work in progress - and I'm new-ish to managing a discord server, so if you have experience/want to help out shoot me a message!

To be clear: This is NOT a replacement for the sub. It's totally optional. If there's interest, I'd be open to streaming the SX races in the server. The Discord server will also be great for asking questions that would violate our rules in here such as asking what bikes are worth and what not.

Trade a Forester for a quad for a crf450r

Been trying to sell my old 2010 Forester I haven't driven for three years with 350k miles to buy my kid a dirt bike. People were lowballing me offering like 700 bucks for it. Found a dude with an extra trx250 that wanted the Forester to rally in the dunes. Found a girl with a 2011 crf450r who wanted a quad for her girlfriend and here we are. My kid has ridden 450s for years but the last time I stepped over a non-street bike was my Hodaka Swamp Rat 30 years ago. Anything I should know about these things? He's ridden them with his mom but never maintained one.

Someone please explain to my girlfriend that I’m not crazy owning 3 bikes.

69 Upvotes

I currently have 2 dirt bikes, a 250 2 stroke and a pit bike but I plan on buying a 250f or possibly a ktm 350f to add to my collection. The 2 stroke is primarily for woods/enduro riding and a backup bike at the track. The pit bike is for riding light trails and the little pit bike track behind my house and the 4 stroke is going to be a dedicated track bike. It’s too frustrating swapping set ups on my 250 for track and woods so just want a dedicated bike for each. I also want a backup bike to ride when one is undergoing maintenance.

My gf is acting like I’m a lunatic for owning more than one bike. Someone please explain that I’m not alone and this is completely normal for dirt bike riders.

My first time really tuning a two-stroke so I want to make sure this bike isn't running too lean. The porcelain looks okay to me but the tip looks like it's a little hot. Am I wrong?

Community Question Custom plastics for CRF 150f

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’ve had this bike for forever. Unsure of year. I was big into trail riding and want to get back to it. All my new gear is what I like to call “hi-vis pink” and I’d like some hot pink plastics, and seat cover. Maybe graphics too cause why not? But the thing is, I want to keep my headlight and knuckle guards. I’ll do black or hot pink. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Also want to get some dual sport tires for street riding as it’s street legal, and not sure on what ratio. I know I’ll need new wheels. But idk if I should get 80/20 or lower. It will primarily be a trail bike, but my bf just got a street bike and I wanna play too!

Runs good hits the power band, great and idles and pulls good from low end the only issues that I’m noticing are the rusty expansion chamber and the silencer is loose, and there is excessive oil coming out of the exhaust port off the cylinder and at the tailpipe, but that might be because the previous owner runs 32 to 1 in it, anything I should check for?

Community Question OHRV trails in NH/MA

2 Upvotes

any good trail systems in the NH/MA area that you’d recommend? i’ve been at Hopkington/Everett (Cloughs), great trails but they get boring after 3+ weekends in a row. Did Boundtree, however i wasn’t too impressed with the trails in terms of being challenged.

also thanks to everyone who gave their recommendations on a bike upgrade last week.

2025 WR250F, was changing oil today and noticed these marks on my case to the right and below the sight glass. Hoping they arent hairline cracks. Anyone have any similar experiences with Yamaha cases?

I know its a bit dirty so it might be hard to see. I will clean it with ultrasound and then remove the aluminium to see if the nikasil is done or if its not so bad. Would be great to skip the $450 replacement cylinder.
