A new dirt bike would be best, and it comes with a year warranty.
They have some good rebates right now called bonus bucks.
Go to your local honda dealer and they can help you out.
Also they have killer financing.

I bought an 81 XR100 a couple months ago for my boy, and haven't had any problems other than the points went bad. You shouldn't have to worry about points, the xr200 should have CDI. Bought mine for 300.00, and it looks like new. The asking price isn't bad, but you could probably get it for a little less.

Looks like it would be great if you cleaned it up.

If you want it for a collectorâ€™s type it looks great and for that amount it could be a lot of fun.

If you want to ride hard you may want to keep looking for about $900 you can get a bike that is about 20 years newer. It really all depends upon what you are doing with it.

Otherwise it looks good and it is cheap enough if it runs
