I have an 03 blaster that I want to sell and it has a loan on it. after i sell the blaster, instead of paying off the loan i was going to buy a used dirtbike probably an old 426 or yz400. I have my eyes on this one bike in particular, a 1998 yz400. The man claims its a strong good running bike and has never given him trouble and he's selling it because he's getting a yz250. Would a 400 that's 5 years old still be reliable?
I was planning on buying the 400 with the money i got for the blaster, I just dont want to be stuck with a crappy dirtbike that has trouble and still be paying for the blaster.
would a 5 year old yz400f still be realiable and a good bargin?
the whole plan is to still be paying for the blaster, but have a free dirtbike.
could somebody please help?, I've tried this on other websites and nobody says anything.
thanks so much

 

depends man,look for oil on the engine block,look for any oil leaks anyway,u can usually tell by the way it runs if its took care of or not,
but i would say it would if u dont find any oil leaks.

 

But rappyboy that bike is 5yrs old and they dont make um anymore i would think not trying to say ur wrong but that bike would not be reliable i would buy an older yz125 or cr125

 

my brothers dirtbike is 6 years old...and it runs like it was brand new....go take it for a test ride..if it seems like its running alright, its ur choice, if it doesn't, i would stay away from it....dont wanan have to rebuild right after u get it.

 

If you have a loan on the Blaster the company that you have the loan with holds the pink-slip (Title). Whoever you sell the Blaster to is going to want the pink-slip (unless they are a Fool! The only way to get the pink-slip is to pay off the loan. This deal has stink written all over it. Pay off the Blaster then figure out what you want to do. If you have been making the payments on time you shouldn't have too much trouble getting another loan. Better plan would be to wait about a year and save up for the bike. I don't like loans on toys. If they break you are making payments on a pile of junk.

 

dune me, your right. I know about that but I couldn't help but ask.

my neighboor has an old 125 2 stroke that's literally sitting outside rusting. he'll probably sell it to me for less that 500$ b/c he never rides anymore. its rusty and the reason why he stopped riding it was b/c the throttle stuck and he had a bad wreck. I tihnk it would be sweet to get htat thing, have a shop clean it up and look it over and ride it for less than 1000$
he said it had some major porting and motor work and that he could beat his friends 2502strokes.
lol, what a deal. I get to ride one bad a$$ 2 stroke for little to nothing.
I can sell my blaster for 2800$ i know b/c it's got some mods and a bran new top end.
so it will basicaly be a steal for me.
