I'd bite.

Me too....rare birds here. Very costly. 8O
What's 100.00?........4-36 packs at Wallmart? 8)

In Canada Walmart doesn't sell 36 packs :P

When the time comes, you could look to Lifan for parts (like a new seat). I think that Darwin still has the Lifan version parked out in front of 3-D.

You could make your own Hondifan like Wild Alaskan.

Jim · 05-14-2010, 02:33 AM

Yeah I had that in mind... I don't think Coast to Coast has any more of these but I could be wrong. I think they've switched right over to the Xingyue products? I believe X-Rage carries a version of this bike, as well as a few others I'm sure. There is also a ton of Honda parts for this bike available on eBay.

Weldangrind · 05-14-2010, 11:21 AM

Coast to Coast is still showing them on their site: http://www.coasttocoastmotorsports.c...?cat=Dirtbikes

Jim · 05-14-2010, 11:24 AM

Well I guess I will have to check in with them, I thought they were all Xingyue now, xingyuecanada.com I haven't talked to them in a while since I don't have my atv or bikes anymore.

Jim · 05-17-2010, 10:19 AM

Quite a few more on craigslist...

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pm...744434082.html $700 - comes with parts bike

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rd...744364641.html - $875

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pm...744627581.html - $900

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pm...744739684.html - and the winner is... $3500... "Why buy a new Chinese monkey when you can get this cool vintage one?", because you will potentially save between $2500 and $3000... Though it looks to be in remarkable shape, it's still quite a pile of money...

katoranger · 05-17-2010, 10:56 AM

$1500 for a nice clean example is reasonable.

Good runners in good condition are $500-1000 usually here.

Those people don't belong in Vancouver, they belong on Wall Street! 8O

The Wall Streeters might learn a thing or two about us here. We live in Vancouver, B.C. --- B.C. = "Bring Cash"

Everything has become over the roof expensive here.

I have heard rumors to that effect; I am sorry to hear you confirm them, Turbo. :(

Yet another thread drift, but our cost of living wouldn't seem so high if we weren't taxed to death.

Jim · 05-18-2010, 02:40 AM

Speaking of which, apparently the BC citizens initiative has reached 500,000 signatures, with 72 of the 85 ridings already meeting the elections BC threshold of 10%. I think the initiative will be successful in obtaining 10% in each riding, however I don't think it will actually stop the HST. I think the one thing Gordon Campbell has said that you can actually believe is that it doesn't matter how many signatures are collected he is still moving ahead with the tax.

Jim · 05-30-2010, 01:52 AM

Turns out I can order quite a bit of what I need from http://hondaminitrail.com/ct70.html and the prices seem pretty reasonable.

Should be a fun project after the cl350... Going to get a sand blast cabinet before I start one way or another though.

The Hondaminitrail site is a very nice find, Jim.

Indeed, the prices aren't too bad.
