What did you get for your dt if you dont mind me asking?

And what are you; a strictly on road man or do you like to do a bit of offroading aswell?

Thanks!

I have just found some pictures I must have took when I was advertising it .

I sold the 97 DT just over 5k on the clock for £900 with 2 spare engines and 3or4 boxes of spares. forks etc.

£900? O_o I would have bitten your hand off with that price and spares. If it was about when I bought my DTR. Same year and colour as well, but mine was a bag of nails. Cost me about £2-3,000 to rectify all the problems. But of course I went for top of the range stuff D.I.D sprockets etc etc. Oh and blew the engine, twice.

I paid 750 for it and it had 2 owners from new bought new on the island. I taxed it fitted new chain and sprockets, rear disc, front and rear pads , new genuine crank seals. New rear Michelin enduro tyre. I had a few people interested in the spares more than the bike but I advertised it once and I was trying to fix it's little stalling problem but thought I would just tell the guy buying it it needs the stalling sorting and everything else is spot on.
I was thinking of advertising it on the forum but with me be over here and you guys being over there people might not trust my sales pitch.

DT's seem to be a lot cheaper over there. Put a 1 in front of your 750 and that's how much most people want for good original ones over here...
