DT175

[jasonbc]

This is my mates DT175 he bought it about 10 years ago to ride enduro and never used it. I took it a local offroad track a few weeks ago for the wife to ride as she's thinking about doing her test.
She's now decided she likes it as the seat is very low and it's light weight, he has now decided he wants to get rid of it and she wants first refusal on it.
So i think it would be a winter restoration for me and then she can start using it in the spring.

Question is what should i be looking to pay for it??



The motor runs fine on it brakes need servicing as they are shoes, fork seal leaking general tidy up required

I may even be tempted to moto-x it in the evo class if she has it

This'll give you an idea:

Redrose - Retrobikes | For Sale

Bear in mind the difficulty of getting some parts and they are a dealer.

Don't restore as it'll cost you billions, just maintain.

Good luck

Thats a late Dt175MX and they have been going on fleabay for around the £1000 for a good example. I wouldn't want to pay much more than £300-£400 for a scruffy bike like that ... it has been wel used and not very well loved judging by whats missing and the rust on the swinging arm.

I dont think it's that bad considering it's been layed up in a wet garage for best part of 10 years and not used
