I end up parting most of my old race bikes out. Things just aren't selling in Michigan. I've got an eBay store and things move pretty quickly as you can sell worldwide. I've parted an 08 KTM 250 SX, 10 TC 250 and a 2009 KTM 250 SX is next. Heinen's has 2010 TC 250's on ebay for around $2700....still no bids.
Okay, so how much would you say my 09 144 is worth? It needs to be gone within the next week. You can see it in the classified section on this site.
High Places, It is a great looking bike and I know I love them. Unfortunately all the nice touch's don't really add to the value right now. If you are serious about moving it right now you will probably have to take a bit of a bath. I would list it for $2900 and see if you can't get it sold quickly, but that might be a bit of a steep discount for you. I bought my 09 in august of 09 for 4250 so the 3400 doesn't look that good compared to that. They were routinely available new for ~5000 and half of that is 2500 but yours is better than that price.

I would be all over that bike if my 300 would sell!! Wanna swap bikes? Im in cheyenne Wyoming not to far away from you. Later
Maybe you'd be better off (assuming you still have the stock parts) removing some mods and selling them separately?
How much for the Gasser? Need a tricked out CR 150 on trade??? Like the other guys said, I know it sucks!!! I suggest to ALWAYS buy a carryover or find a SLIGHTLY used bike at a discounted price. And really right now a used jap bike doesn't bring much either!
I think you hit the nail on the head!! I have found selling stuff if you are a little cheaper then the next guy, it will go away!! Yep, $3,000 tops.
Had my 2010 TXC 250 for sale on this site no one was interested. I, bought this bike from are freind G.K. its loaded with very low hours.It sat in my garage since last oct. I, rode it 2 times.Telling everyone Im a 2 stroke rider. Took the bike last week to a GP course that we raced recentley it's about 5 miles in lenght.My times were 30 sec. a lap faster,first time out.Orderd a powercomander today to fix the jetting.Thanks for not buying my Husky!!!
I would save some money and get a JD fueler from motosportz, you will have to email them for it but they are a sponsor on here so they are easy to find.
You are seeing them at a grand more, but are they selling at that price ? Probably getting knocked down on price by potential buyers.
Thanks for your reply. I think I'm going to take a little bit of a bath on this one. $2900 IT IS! I have no time for parting out and trying to advertise all over the country as I will be gone a lot over the next few months. I am a minimalist and keeping something around and not using it makes no sense to me. So maybe someone on this site knows someone who wants a killer deal on an 09 144. I sure hope there's someone crazy like me to buy from when I'm ready for my next bike! Again, the bike is in the classified section on this site. No thanks on the bike swap. It looks like a great bike! Hopefully you can sell it soon... my bike keeps getting cheaper and cheaper!
I'm almost tempted to trade my 08 wr250 off for another 09 wr125. It has less than 20hrs on it. But may opt to tone it down and lighten it up, or get the a new 12 TC 250.
If it fits, maybe Husky can offer sell the new head and maybe cams as an update to the 010, 011 engines .... You might be a 2t guy but a few rides on these new fangled 4t, 250 Husky machines, and you might understand why so many people like them ...
Thanks for the tip on the JD fueler, Have a Moose sponsership can get a good deal on the comander.I,am comited to racing this little Husky.
One word is all I have, well maybe two...Obama, and Economy... The USA is in the dumps. maybe, just maybe it will pick up in a year or two but then what you have to sell is that much older. I have 8 bikes and and only 4 riders, they are worth more to me and my kids that ride than what Joe-smuck down the street will give me. Parting out on flea-bay is an option but you might be stuck with lots of parts and not the same amount of money if you release for less.
> 5000 dead young Americans say two letters ... gw ... but you gotta remember more than this morning ... Eight bikes and complaining? please .... And who is this smuck person you refer to above?
The JD product is a lot less than the PC and you will probably also need the auto tune as well. Just food for thought.
My new 250 was supposed to take the place of my 450. Knowing my 08 450 probably won't sell in my area where Huskys are chainsaws, I suited it up to do road and D/S stuff. I absolutely won't take a Hugh bath on such a great bike! I will part it out before I do that and am going to hang on to it until spring anyway. In the meantime it's making a wicked D/S bike! If you part it out out, just think of how much you'd get for all those after marked parts too. Of course if you had that much time you'd probably find time to use it.
