So I can get a deal on a 1999 EC 250. Perfectly good running 2T. I'm actually considering it.
What I don't like is the GasGas situation and the zooks on the front being out of business as far as dirt bike forks. I know they foul the oil quickly but I maintain my bikes well and have no problem changing fork oil.
So what do you think? I assume parts would be difficult anyway as its a '99.
We're talking $600
Is this a throwaway bike? Ride till it dies then use as paperweight?
I also understand this is a GasGas site and you may be a bit biased.
I like weird and different things. And a 16 year old spanish bike from a bankrupt company may fit the bill. I'm also looking at '96-'99 Suzuki RMX's as comparison. I also am no stranger to throwaway bikes as our little group has an aprilia climber 1990 trials bike.
