I got it for $700. It is the fastest dirt bike Ive owned. I can keep it on a wheelie from 1 to 4 gear just by cracking the throttle. The bike was rebuilt by a shop and I have the receipts for the work. Love it. Came with a helmet, chest protector, riding boots, (They all fit me) , gallon or Yamaha synthetic 2 cycle oil, quart or crankcase oil, title, and the original owners manual.

I might be riding to the local rock quarry with a freind, he has a kx80. We have permission. I would like to get a cheap helmet cam to tape some riding. Any suggestions?

If your new to riding than it might surprise you. And 400cc not its the kx and cr500 that are a handful. I totally miss having a dirtbike. I had a crf450 that was awesome but traded it for a 400ex.

The old ITs and YZs were certainly some mean old bikes. I miss my old '79 YZ400, that thing was a blast.

I love the gopro camera. My friend has one. He has his mounted to his helmet and the camera hit a tree and was totally fine. He forgot the camera was on his helmet and didn't duck far enough. Plus they are waterproof.

Im not new, but all my bikes before it were gutless. I had a 05 honda crf80, 92 Yamaha rt100, and a 80 Suzuki rm100.
