What do you think about the price?
How much should a rebuilt 3ET/3XP engine cost?
It says in the ad that the cylinder is replated and it comes with a new carb(probably the chineese version off ebay).
I personally prefer my 200cc's sleeved.
Whats your opinion and take on the prices, based on the UK perspective? -
That's just mental money! I remember back in the day you'd pick these up for a few hundred.
I think there are better alternatives out there than to worry about this if I'm honest.
For a few extra bucks you can just get an EXC 300.

@calum if you can find one for a good price. I just sold my fresh rebuilt and 75% fully restored rm 80 for 1100. I check Facebook a week later and there pushing nearly 1300/1400. Seems like gone are the day you’d get a good two stroke mx bike for 1200/1500 the markets just fucking crazy at the moment man

@stevie-wonder You are so full of rubbish it's unreal...
Look at this gem! Bargain at £1800
Oh it's bad at the moment isn't it! Everything has just gone through the roof. Maybe it's been the pandemic etc.
Be nice to see a return to form soon though.

@calum hahaha fucking hell, i swear everything rotten from the 80’s/90’s era has been worth more then the scrap value of gold recently (looks to everything old school Ford/Vauxhall). Hell these days you could piss on a tire leave your machine outside for a month Chuck it back in the garage for a couple weeks with a tarpaulin over her then charge £5000 extra because it’s now a “barn find”
