The madness of Ontario used off-road bike prices continues. Here's a 20 year old bike that needs a lot of work:
2001 gasgas TXT 200 trials bike in good shape, runs good , needs fork seals and brake work.
$3200 obo
So, you drop over three grand on it and then have to buy parts and rebuild the suspension and brakes. You're probably over four grand before you turn a wheel on this old, worn out thing.
or
A 2021 (as in brand new) Tanaci-Wong TWL200 Trials Bike:
Integrated electric start
Electronic fuel injection
Butter smooth hydraulic clutch
Ultra-progressive hydraulic brakes
Lightweight billet aluminum swing arm
Adjustable billet aluminum brake pedal
Billet aluminum triple clamps
High-quality flexible plastics
Transparent fuel tank means no more guessing
All chassis fasteners are high-grade stainless steel
Well protected exhaust system means no costly replacements
$3495 plus PDI/shipping/taxes
So, my option is to drop four grand on a 20 year old, broken bike, or spend the same amount on a brand new machine? Someone's going to say, "yeah, but that's a Chinese bike." Where do you think all the parts on the GasGas were made? Bet it wasn't Spain.
