    Very nice machine. I have a 78 IT250. The engine has been completely rebuilt about five times or more. All the yellow is worn off and you can tell it has thousands of hours. Still works good and I ride it. It has a history of adventures. We must acknowledge these bikes that have served as well too!

    I had one of those in the late '80s, it was all original except for renthal bars. Paid $250 for it and kept it for a few years as a spare bike. Sold it for $500 and then 6 years later I got it back. Traded a mountain bike for it. Kept it for another few years then I sold it to a guy who raced vintage Motocross for $750. Wish I still had it.

    Hey man God bless you all doing God's work. I just got done watching your other video period where you do the drive up for the sale video's. Whitney said this place just has the perfect vibe. I don't think I've ever agreed with somebody ever in my life that much period and how do you know I live there. And have a sliding wall on Wheels to close it all off. Can't wait to come see that place. Period and then I saw when you went up the elevator. God damn. You almost missed the big point in your own video. You both said nobody makes a midsize four wheeler. And you said yeah I did sell a million of them. You could build them right on site. If you have some full-time mechanics period or would like to offer them being full-time. When they're slow they have to cut up pieces of metal to be welded together later down the road once you fill up a wall of all the parts and have 10 of them. You can probably have one guy weld up a couple frames in a day. Could probably fill out a couple of mechanics weak. Or you have like a museum with a rough minibike upstairs improve on that and build it downstairs. Put a Connecticut USA stamp ON IT..!!!🍻💨🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      @@Zerofukstogive Because of the warranty, -shops don't like to sell you bikes in the box. There could also be something wrong or damaged also. Also the shop gets an assembly fee of a few hundred bucks.
      If the bikes are older, on clearance, and they have a ton of bikes in the back (in boxes) = much more willing to sell you something in the box especially when buying many bikes (like a dealer).
      Many people bought Covid-19 bikes (social distancing). And i think the manufactures made less. =May need to go to a few dealers before you find something massively discounted. Many of these discounted bikes are advertised on craigslist to help them move.

      I still have my 1979 cr250r that I bought new in the crate. They told me I could take it in the crate or pay an extra 50 dollars for them to asemble it. The price for the bike was $795. It still looks like the day I bought it. I road it a lot, but never crashed or even put a scratch on it. It looks just like the one in the video. Every piece original.except new tires.It always starts first or second crank. I'm getting so old and the compression is so high I can hardly kick start it.
