Older Honda dirt bike? Should I buy?
Right now, I'm looking at used Dirt Bikes on craigslist. I'm not in the 'expensive' range so I'm looking at a 1982 Honda XL-100S. It doesn't come with a seat and is only $75! Cheap and amazing price, right? Well, I wanted to know if any of you guys have had a X-100, have rode one/seen one, or just a Honda in general. What's your response to this, should I buy it or no? Really looking for a Dirt Bike, NOT a pocket rocket/mini bike!
Please get back to me. Best answer gets 10 points.

No way you will ever ride motocross on an antique like that.
$75 turns into $750 really fast.
Cables and tires are probably shot.
Cables will run $50-$100.
Tires will run about $100 + tubes $20 + rim Strip's $10.
Chain and sprockets - $100.
Seat - $50-300.
Carb rebuild - $30.
Just for a start.
Hondas will run forever

- Where can i buy a cheap dirt bike? Hi i'm 13 years old and i live in california. I'm saving up for a 125cc dirt bike (probably honda). I was wondering where i can find a good place to buy one that would be cheap. I've seen ones that are around 1000 dollars and i was wondering if there's anything good that would be cheaper or around that. If you can also please tell me if this would be a good bike for me i'm around 5,1. So if you can help me find a good dirt bike that would be great!
- What type of dirt bike should I get? I'm 5'11 and 150 lbs. I'm an intermediate rider who's looking for a bike that has dual sport capabilities, any suggestions? My uncle offered to sell me his 2003 Honda crf 230 that's in great condition for 1000 or less and I'd need to buy a conversion kit for it, good idea or no
- What size dirt bike should I get? I want to buy a dirtbike. I don't know what size I should get though. I'm 5'4 and 120 pounds. I know how to ride a dirtbike I've had one before. I don't want one to small or way to big. I was thinking like a Honda XR100 or yamaha TTR125 or suzuki DRZ125 Are those to small? Those 3 dirtbikes the seat heights are a few inches below my waist. I think that's to small. What dirtbike do you think would be good for me?
