At least it wasn't an accessory page. That's where the money goes fast
It has been many years since I bought MX boots. All I'll say is I hope they are 5 times as good as the old ones, to justify the price.

I just brought a new to me 2019 Yamaha XT250 home yesterday, for page 250 of course
It has 1500 miles on it, completely stock, never down, and clean as a whistle.
Seller threw in 3 helmets, jacket, gloves, a trailer hitch carrier, and a battery tender.
I'm excited to get out there and do some exploring but waiting on some MX boots and handguards before any serious ventures. Ride safe.

A word of caution on these things. The battery is tiny and doesn't last long so make sure you install a new one at least every 3 years, and keep a battery maintainer on it. Reason I stayed with the old model XT225 is that it had a kick starter in addition to the electric starter so even if the battery died I could always start it. Plus it has a carburetor instead of fuel injection. I believe your 2019 is fuel injected so I don't think it would start at all if the battery died.

My motocross bike is fuel injected, and has no battery.

yes you are right, mine is a 2016 and I had that happen to me and even if you jump start it, it wont run for long if the battery can't hold a charge. It will stall at some point when you shift regardless of how much throttle you gave it before hand. Or simply put it will run until you let go of the throttle.

Some of the end stage '80's two stroke street bikes, are so interesting. Can't find one in Oregon, not even a fixer-up. But that two stroke experience is something I want to feel again, just on the weekends. Young people don't get it. And that's okay, cause their modern bike IS better in every way. I want to feel that pipe kick in. The tiny window of power band when the whole thing just takes off and the whooo! moment that you pulled a wheel at 50 mph in third gear.

They are out there, but higher than female giraffe anatomy.

I do find things here and there. Its all the same story. Sitting in the barn for 10 years. Kids say they want 4K cause Pal told them it was valuable. I offer 500 cash. And they think I'm trying to steal something from them. The internet ruined every thing.

I bought this used mid July. I'm trying to throw a little farkle on it so I can take it on a camping road trip for it gets too cold. 2019 maybe 1700 miles on it. I put a rear rack on the back the other day along with my old Rotopax gallon fuel can holder. It needed a skid plate.
