Too Much £££ ??? (X-Challenge)

[Mike54]

38 is too much. Steve got a good deal on his, but they are not worth anything like 38. Whats this about seat height? Soon as you sit on it the suspension compresses, it's not like the seat is at 36.5 inches when you're on it. Bear in mind a 450 exc is over 38 inches, I have mates that ride them with no problems who are less than 5'6 in height.

Actually to be clear (just noticed) ... ad says £3900

[kito]

I think it's over priced and the reason he has been trying to sell it for so long. I am on my second x challenge. First one I got a few years ago I paid £2700 for a 5800 mile bike in excelent condition apart from a scratch on the fairing. I got my second a few months ago. Mint Showroom bike with just 500 miles on it. I paid £3450 for the second bike. I thought that was a lot but as there arnt many about and it was like new I paid up

[Monster]

She is stuck at £2850 with 5 hrs remaining

Well that auction got stuck at £2850 and did not reach the reserve

I may have got involved around £3k to £3.5k mark but have now made another arrangements
