Go pick this pig 1986 Yamaha XT600 on/off-road dual sport - motorcycles/scooters - by owner - vehicle automotive bike sale up for short money and learn to be a mechanic while you bring it back too life......Thats how most guys get Their mechanical knowledge and skill.
This beauty queen 1995 Honda XR250R Street Title Dual Sport - motorcycles/scooters - by owner - vehicle automotive bike sale is a great woods bike under all that black paint. Actually one of the better trail bikes you could get. ( I'm biased i ride an xr400)
pilot rock truck trail, arrow head, and big bear lake!
I've ridden all those spots...about a 2hr drive from me
but living 2 hours from the trails would not be a lot of fun to ride to/from...rather be in a comfortable truck seat for the 2 hour ride back after all that sweat and fatigue

I love my DR350, regularly see clean DR350S for small money on Craigslist. It's also peanuts to insure - I think I pay $3/mo. Simple and easy to work on, not a lot to break except maybe your foot with kickstart only dirt model.
I converted dirt model to street, but not exactly for cost savings, things tend to add up...

thank you!
"cheap" on a dirt bike is actually expensive in disguise...everything does add up quickly...which begs the question -
why not just buy the setup bike out of the box?
and dirt bikes require quite a bit of maintenance/mile over a street bike....but be aware there are 2 extremes of those spectrum at the exchange of performance and weight
let us all know the *true* costs of maintenance and conversions....none of this "how much did it cost ya to rebuild it? couple hundred bucks?"

Hey kalifornia one, he said "dual-sports", not "dirt bike". Dual-sports are street bikes adapted to dirt use. Not nearly the same maint requirements. It is easy to find a dual-sport bought by someone, primarily street ridden (easy life) and then tucked in a shed for years.

Anyone got an opinion on this? Sounds pretty good, but the way the ad is written makes me a little nervous...

That's a desirable motorbike. Normally I'd avoid a 2000 or 2001 as they had the inferior damper rod fork. But I think the E model had the good stuff from day 1.
E model has a tighter head gasket (slightly higher compression) and larger flat-slide carb. S has a smaller CV carb. Flat slides perform better but require more tuning. CVs tend to be more set and forget. I found a happy medium upgrading to a larger CV carb off a KLR650 for like $100. E model also has a plastic tank to the S's metal. Although I'm told both tanks somehow weigh about the same.
I'm not a fan of the auto clutches. But then I'm in the vast minority. YMMV.
Sounds like a reasonable bike for the $, especially this time of the season.
Worth making an offer on it, I'd say
He's probably taking about a Rekluse or similar. They're super popular with the woods crowd. Basically it's a centrifugal clutch that automatically engages and disengages. You don't have to pull the lever (although you can). The bike will (theoretically) not stall. This means you get get into a rock garden and just hammer, no need to work the left lever or risk stalling.
I'd do one if racing in the woods. But otherwise I prefer al-natural. It's been discussed at length on this side and the prevailing wisdom is I have it all wrong. (But I don't.)

Also, any MA people have experience titling a dirt bike with a road kit? Is it a huge PITA? I know MA can be a little particular about titles.

Close your eyes, look deep in your soul, step outside yourself and let your mind go.
The issue in MA is the paperwork because it provides a way of verifying ownership.
If the previous owner has a street title (from any state?), Then you're fine...bring that to your insurance agent, get your RMV-1 to the DMV and get your plates.
Alternatively if you have a bill of sale AND a valid street registration from the previous owner (this is where VT is handy), same as before applies.
If you have neither, and just a bill of sale, can't be done without being issued a title or street registration from another state (can be done by "selling" to a friend out of state, getting the title, then "selling" it back to you).

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice. I found what I think was a pretty smokin deal on a 2003 XR400 in nice shape. Titled, only needs a speedo and rear blinkers. Rode it, seems great. Gonna pick it up next week.

I've got a cheap XT600 if you want it
I thought out-of-state vehicles which would not be titled by their current state could be titled in MA with prior registration and Bill of Sale. However, I can't completely confirm.
"The completed RMV-1 must be accompanied by one of the following documents: (..)The previous registration and bill of sale for vehicles that are exempt because of their age." Source
MA definition of age-exempt is pretty old. But I thought there was a separate exemption for out-of-state along the lines of 'if state won't title'. You'd still be required to title it in MA, which is really what most of that text is about.
For the extra cost and effort of getting a true street legal dual sport, you might be better off putting that money in to a small trailer and hitch. I think you'll be happier on the trails with a strictly offroad bike anyway. Less stuff to break and lighter.
