Curious about value of my Gen 3

Post by cr_denny »

Well, I'd hoped this day would never come, and sorry if this may be posted in the wrong section, but it's looking like I may be selling a bike.

Is it too bold of a question to see what folks think it may be worth if I throw it out on the market? It’s a 2003 CR250 frame, with a 2001 CR500 motor. I’ve considered selling just the roller and keeping the motor, carb and pipe for a later date (maybe future Gen 5 conversion) It’s sprung for my 230lb fat ass. It’s got black Excel’s that I laced to the OEM hubs, the larger capacity custom aluminum tank, and the custom Fluidyne radiators. Very tough decision.

Here’s the build link:

I appreciate any feedback. Of course, the pics on the link are a tad dated, but other than the usual scuffing that’s how it currently looks.
I can't say I looked too terribly hard, but other than MPS, Animalpower, and SH links out there for "new" ones, I couldn't gather a good starting point. This was a home build, with a stellar machinist/welder I found local in Phoenix.

I paid nearly 3 for my 02 CRF450-that I had to tear down and re-weld the frame, do the airbox mod stuff, and button up several other things. But, the main part was done, and I wound up with a solid bike.

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

I've got a crisp $50 bill burning a hole in my wallet!

Kidding!
(Ok not kidding!)

What do you think it's worth as a roller?
Yah, I'm from Saskatchetoon!
