@scrimsmustang I'm a huge fan of the old dt 175 mx

@scrimsmustang My dad has just gone and bought (a dog) an DT400B.

He is an absolute perfectionist, when that's finished I will throw some photos up.

Yeah, same bike as the 175 save for head barrel and jetting.

The 400,s are thee worst DT,s ever made gutless heavy slow I wont go on just I will say the 250,s coming in a close second. My 125 and 175MX,s run rings round my mates 250.

[declan]

@scrimsmustang got any pics of the 175s for me?

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Yeah, I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. He had the 125 as a teen so likes the styling.

At the end of the day, he has had Ninjas etc and is just looking for a retro ride.

I'm surprised at how small it is.

Yeah, im sure he will have fun with it, and so will his wallet Cal

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Yep, he loves all that though. He's got a 1964 Volkswagen Split Screen Type 2, so he's no stranger to overpriced parts lol

[scrimsmustang]

The Black DT is on ebay if anyone knows someone that may be looking for a decent bike.

[oldman]

I have a seat that colour on the black dt, what is it?

Its Teal Green, Peppermint Green ? Whatever you want to call it.

[oldman]

Is that only on the black originally?, don't even remember where I got it from, new original I think

Yes only comes on a Black 1990

@scrimsmustang

Looks like someone is going to get my Black H reg DTR for next to nothing considering the work thats went into it and the hour and hours tracking down parts, finishes in a couple of hours. Makes it all seem a waste of time and not worth it, if it ends on what its on now I hope the winner is a messer I would rather keep it than let it go for that price.

[oldman]

I could "bid" for it, could be busy at the end? Know what you mean though, you just want a fair price considering the input you put in

[scrimsmustang]

@oldman

Nah, 2100 quid, gutted really.

[Calum]

@scrimsmustang Can you ever see the DTR's really fetching a high price?

They are up and down now, and I would say down at the moment for nice bikes and up for rough old girl project bikes. Back to front I would say, I think nice early ones will be worth money.

[oldman]

I think the early ones will begin to climb soon as supplies dwindle, agree rough ones overpriced and would have happily paid a good price for your black one if I was in the market. What else could you get nowadays for that sort of money , looked good as new. Must admit the value isn't my top priority, just enjoy being in my man shed, keeps the brain ticking over and the hands busy
