2011 Gas Gas 250xc Race SOLD SOLD! I bought this bike new from a Halls Husky December 2011 with an Illinois street legal title for enduros. Raced a few harescrambles and enduros in 2012-2013. Won the 2012 District 17 +40B class enduro championship and won a few races on this bike. Has only...

I'm considering selling my 2011 250 Race. I'm the original owner, and it has a little over 100 hours on it. I've had health issues so it's only been started up occasionally and rode for a total of about 30 minutes over the past 5 years.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking right now also. I wish I had e-start with a kicker backup now that I'm not as worried about a little extra weight.

There was a time when that sounded pretty appealing, but I don't want to use the clutch that much these days. I feel like a larger bore or 4 stroke is more versatile for the type of riding I want to do.

I'm with Elvis on the suspension. From what I've read it seems as though the suspension is somewhere in between an EC and an x-trainer. I expect it will be a more mild mannered EC with a step down in suspension, lower seat height and a pleasure to ride at a fast trail pace or slow race-pace...

I'm planning to get back on the bike after a 5 year hiatus. Former racer 40A-40B speed when I quit riding. I don't see myself racing again, but I would like to hit some trails at a moderate pace to maintain my sanity. A guy needs a stress reliever from time to time! I'm looking at the new...

I might be interested in the e-start assembly if the first deal falls through.

I'll have to look into those options. Good protection is a must.

Jgracey, Did you used to work at Owens Motorsports as a mechanic?

Thanks for letting me know. I think you and I met a few years ago. I'm not 100% for sure where, but my name is Neal Haarman and I used to live near St. Elmo, IL. Ring any bells?

Thanks for the feedback.

I read that contact sports should be avoided because the leads that attach to the heart can possibly come detached. That's my only concern. Maybe it's not worth worrying about, but I've taken some hard crashes in my day.

Awesome! Do either of these guys have a concern about the leads coming loose or breaking?

At the ripe old age of 47 I'm going to be fitted with a new shiny pace maker. I'm not over weight, never had high cholesterol or high blood pressure. Just the luck of the draw. I haven't rode in over 2 years for various reasons, but I won the Senior B District 17 enduro championship in 2012...

Old news It's old news, but we sold it a in two parcels. The first parcel was sold last October, and the second was sold in April.
