I saw this ad on the Sac Craig's list and was contemplating checking it out. I know absolutely nothing about the older two-stroke Husky's so I'm wondering if it would be worth taking a chance on, providing it hasn't been totally abused ? Would this be a good bike for tight s/t woods riding? http://sacramento.craigslist.org/mcy/2235218854.html
Looks like great bike ... Ever rode a big bore 2T? lol ... It will be a very powerful machine ... U'll need throttle control and maybe some 'short shifting' skills .... Depending on the trails, I'm not sure why you want such a brute of a bike for tight ST ... you might be putting along in 2nd gear using 1/16th of the throttle, some clutch, and trying to stay 100% clear of the pipe ... AKA ... PB ... powerband ... I'll probably lug well and U might can even set it up for all end-end and have a tractor of a bike ... There are guys here who own bikes like this and can give a more detailed idea of this bike ... It might be a couple hundred over priced but looks and sounds very good ... A test ride and closer inspection will help ...
At $1500 I dont see this bike selling real quick. Make them an offer of about $1000 and work from that price. Also, the condition. This '93 model could need some work, that would cost you a ton! Plus, how easy (I know Husky parts ARE NOT CHEAP!) is it to find '93 360 parts? You will get some serious vibration riding all day. But the good side, could be a great deal on a low cost dirt bike and hit the trails! I bet it would be a blast to ride.
Had one for some time after my '86 400 2T You will never wear the motor out- get the forks and shock done and enjoy leaving your buddies in roost!
Right about the limits, where Ill buy a bike as far as age, that 360 looks well taken care of, but a bit expensive at 1800.00. Its def. one I would take a closer look at, and if its in the kind of shape the OWNER says, and needs "nothing", they all need something, I would offer 1100 for it. Go down from there with cracked plastic's, dings in the pipe (doesnt look like any), any other problems. check the swing arm bearings. and see what goes with the bike, parts, manuals, riding gear, tools. Once bought a bike for 1000, guy threw in a pair of tec 8's in new condition, as well as a nice helmet. If all is well, you will have a really nice bike. Mike
