Might get a doodle bug

[Paden87]

On a craigslist add I found 2 doodle bugs in good condition for 300. Is this a good price? If it is I might pick them up.

I would think that's pretty good up here in CT! I sold a no name (it was really nice, but no names are worth much less) for $260 about 3 months ago... And that was just 1!
I would say to get the best help from others here link the ad!

I would try to go lower. Like $100 each.

 

[Paden87]

The people are miving and want to get rid of them. I haven't called them yet . The ad was posted 10 days ago

If they're in pretty good shape with nice running motors thats a steal.
When i want to know a price of something i go on SearchTempest.com... It searches all of craigslist across america- or you can limit it to within 200 miles of you, 400 etc etc.

Depends on how nice they are. If near perfect, sure $150 each. If not go $100 or lower. You know you're gonna pull the engine and put a Predator on there anyways. I have 2 DB30s. One was $100, real clean, with a newer, clean, 3.5 Briggs. Other one was sorta beat with the stock engine for $50. Sold the Briggs out of the first one for $50 so I'm in them both for $100.

If I do get them one will get a gx390 and the other will be stock for my little ones to play on

 

[Young One With A Manco]

Waittttttt...WHAT?
A 13 hp mini bike?
Do you realize how fast that will be?
It you sit in the seat and go full throttle from a stop itll flip over lol. Maybe not... Maybe so... Probably not.
That's crazy though.

Yeah. That's probably not a wise decision

 

[Paden87]

It will just be a fun project. And my dad is going to give me a second motor. So a free gx390 will work

With a 13hp engine there will probably be pain, not fun...

 

[Paden87]

Pain is no problem. I always have pain

If pain is no problem, then pay what ever you want. Put what ever you would like on it and ignore what we have to say about safety.

In these cases, we would be most appreciated if you have a good friend document this endeavour with a good vid outlining your ride and intentions.
Sadly, after a serious injury and/ or death,This will serve as a warning about our reinforcement of safety and the results therein.

I'll get my wife to film it if I get the doodle bugs. It's just that I like going fast.

Sounds like you will be making a mini drag bike.

 

[Paden87]

Drag bike/ride to work

 

[OzFab]

Have you at least contacted the seller yet? No point planning what to do to them until you have them...

 

[Paden87]

I called once and no answer. I'm going to call again

If you leave the gov in, it will probably keep it under 3600 rpms. I think that is about where they kick in. That's about the same as the gx200, I think. It will definitely have more torque.
