$4000 Minibikes

I was searching for some knarley utv tires for my project and I learned that if a vendor displayed a gifted young lady with their tires the asking price is about 10% more

I don't see any tires.

I used to have a Benelli Dynamo that you could put in your trunk with the handle bars turned down, but I've never tried to do it with the Volcano. It is definitely bigger and a lot heavier. That 180cc engine is huge. As for gas leaking, personally I wouldn't try it...because even if the gas tank cap is tight, you could still have a leak from the petcock or the carb. Personally I'd empty the gas before putting in my trunk, unless you like the smell of gas in your trunk.

Ok great.. That's what I was thinking. I can just turn down the handlbars and put standing up in back of Pilot... Appreciate it.

Are there 3, 4, 5, 6 thousand dollar mini bikes out there? Yes.

Are there that many people willing to pay that much for one? No.

If you want to ask and get "end of the rainbow" prices, you need to find the "end of the rainbow" buyer. The hard part is getting the very specific item and the very specific buyer to cross paths, and at the right time, and even then the stars need to align for it to all work out.

I have a buddy that recently paid $3500+ for a very rare, very desirable mini bike. The bike, the selling price, and the buyer were all critical parts of the sale happening. They somehow all found each other, and it somehow all worked out.

you think vintage mini bikes can be over priced? you should price vintage karts I think the difference is that vintage karts have more of a racing heritage and mini bikes are just old toys and that suits me fine we don't need no stinking Barrett Jackson wine sipping collector snobs in the mini bike world driving up prices
