My $200.00 toy! Pic included!

I was driving with my daughter and decided to take a route I hardly ever take and I saw a truck with a bike in the bed with a sign saying "YZ490 $300.00" so I flipped a u-turn and checked it out.

The guy ended up losing his job and needed cash bad so I offered him $200.00 for it and he said YES! He even threw in a helmet and the loading ramp for it!

The YZ490:

It has an extended swingarm (with all that power every bit helps), and aftermarket fenders. It needs a new muffler/silencer but other then that it runs very strong.

He only had the bike out for about 45 minutes and as I was loading it up another guy drove up and was going to buy it. He had just left to go get the cash. SCORE!

Luckey find!

Yeah, thanks. I took it out for about an hour today after work (guys on the job tried to buy it off me after I told them the story) and love it.

This bike is hard to kick over man, but once it's running it's unstoppable. I would agree that it's a deathtrap definitely if you don't repect it. Biggest bike I've ever had.

Its not a death trap, just a put you out of a job for 3 months trap , I know this because i am 6 weeks through it already and just starting to get to put weight on my foot again.... but that won't stop me.


Nice find btw, Ride safe and don't do anything stupid
