If you pulled up and said 'have a go' you bet your rear end I'd be searching for the longest flat straight stretch of cop/people/farm animal free road in north America.

That thing has been on the market off and on for the last two years. He's only dropped the price 5k in that time.

Must be a hard bike to sell. Dude needs to take it to Cali

UNFORSEEN DOWNSIDE TO OWNING A 690 SMC:

When you fill it up with gas, and then wheelie away from the gas station, all your new gas leaks straight out of the back of the rear end-Tank filler. TERRIBLE FUEL ECONOMY.

Friend of mine is selling an 08 Duke 690 with some minor damage for 4500 in Lubbock, TX. I bet you could push close to 4k for it.

I keep wanting to buy a small 2-stroke dirtbike to make into a street legal sumo. I don't know anything about them but on a whim I saw that CR80s weigh ~145lbs and make ~25hp, which sounds incredible. I wonder how often they'd need a rebuild.

There is a KDX80 on seattle craiglist right now for $375 that's rough but boy do I want it

Actually, that was way less stupid than what I was picturing. Is gaudy and awful, but it sort of loops back around to 'you did WHAT?.. thats just so loving... gah... ok, well, enough looking at it lets give it a go'.

I'd like to have a ride, then never ever see it again.

Such a sad case.

That said, that would be a good candidate for a track bike; if you ignore the fact you can pay less than that for a totally track ready SV with spares.

It's in all ways a 'doner cycle'

Things would have to work out pretty sweet to make any money off it at that price. I don't care about the bike for sale, it'll stagnate and eventually disappear off CL, I'm just impressed by the damage.

That is a pretty good viking burial for a blast. I figure wadding it up into a tree is a better fate then being wadded up in Erik's crusher.

This is correct.

Any modification to a Blast is good because the Blast is terrible. Blast dirt bike is rad.

The statement about 'having supplies to change the oil, will include' is really odd.

That bike should have oil changes all the time, 1500 miles or so. Hopefully he means a case of oil filters (when I sold my YZ250F, I handed 20+ oil filters to the next owner).

That said those are sweet bikes. I'd try to get it for 3200. He wont sell that in a hurry this time of year.

I guess.

If your buying a DRZ, I'd say buy a rattier one for cheaper. If you are able to drop $5k, you are very close to just working harder / being more patient and getting a much better 690 based KTM in the $6500-7k range.

So, I'd go rattier or save up longer.

HAMAS HATE BOAT posted:

I was thinking about getting a KTM EXC for dual sporting/adv touring stuff but then I downloaded the manual and read the maintenance intervals.

Seriously? at 135 hours non-racing use, replace the piston, valves, valve springs, valve seats, conrod and all engine bearings?

I realize I'm digging this up a bit late; but unless you are a competition off-road racer, you'll never need to do those kind of service intervals. You'll go a decade on the valves and serious engine bits. Maybe a top end at 300 hours.

If your just tooling around commuting and doing light ADV stuff; the service intervals are basically like other bikes. Read Orange Crush in ADVRider, it's full of guys with 15k miles on these things just doing valve checks.
