1979 vintage kx250 please advise

[justindh]

Hello, I need some expert advice. I recently bought a 1979 kx250 at local auction. I am looking for book value information on it as i would like to sell it. It is in really great condition for its age, and I want to make sure I know what I am selling and numbers match up. Even has the original manual.

Could someone please let me know roundabout book value on this cycle. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I believe Nada is telling me $500 to $5300 depending on condition. It runs and fires well. Good running cycle. Paint is very good for age. What would some of your opinions on book be?


thankyou very much for your time and help!

Personally, I think NADA has been smoking something. It looks like it's in great condition, but if you got an offer as high as 2K, I'd take the money and run.

Hi,
I also think that is a 1978 model and if i am not mistaken those are rare and sought after by some people.
I would visit Nightmare Racing at [url=http://www.nightmare-racing.com] and get some information from them. They specialize in vintage KX's.
Beautiful looking bike in my opinion.
