cheap F3's run for? i'm thinkin about getting one this summer or fall instead of getting a TTR125 to stunt, i'm saving up and i've noticed that some F3s will run for about 1500 if thats a regular then i might just get one just to stunt, thanx

 

average price is about 1500 for an f2/f3.

my sister's f2 was 1500$ and in good shape, we got a couple ones that were raced, one of them for 500$ and the other for 1100$ so the price just varies. If you want fairings and not crashed you are looking at like 2000 or so.

also, f2 and f3 are pretty similar. Only diff would be the front brakes and forks on the f3 and a 1/2" wider rear rim on the f3. There are other differences, but they are minor. Those 2 differences would be the only 2 that could affect stunting.

 

$1500-$2000 will get you a crunchy f2/f3 possibly with a salvage or no title...

i paid $3500 for my 97, but it was mint with only 6499 miles

dont those things have steel frames are are mad heavy? I'd rock the TTR if I were you, you've seen how 256North rocks those, like its cool.

 

they have steel frames, but they don't weigh that much more than normal bikes. they are 458lbs wet, which is pretty close to the newer bikes. you take like 370 dry, add all your fluids you rae looking another 50lbs so they aren't too bad really.

and ya, the ones we have are clean title. My sisters wasn't crunchy, the other 2 weren't crunchy but they were raced.

 

what would 1/2" wider rim have anything to do with stunting other than a wider tire and would a f3 rear rim fit a stock F2???

 

1/2" wider read tire would be more stable when its on one wheel.. most noticably when rocking slow.

 

its still only 170

 

I bought mine for $1500. Salavaged title though. It only had like 10k miles and looked really really good when I first bought it. That was a long time ago though(2 months). Doesn't look the same anymore

But overall its a good bike, especially for stunting. Parts are cheap and easy to find. Plus a lot of stuff interchanges with the F2's so its makes it that much easier, and less of a pain when you break stuff. Get one, and join the elite stunters and me(cuz I suck)that rock F3's.

wider footprint, more stable wheelies.

and hte f2 and f3 are direct replacements. the hub or spacing didn't change at all, the f3's just got a wider lip.

and almost all f2/f3 parts are interchangable. f3's just got some upgrades like better forks, better front brakes, wider lip on the rear rim, no speedo on the front rim. stuff like that, but it all still bolts up to f2's.

 

hell yea if i can find an F3 for that cheap around here or anywhere then i'll definitely be getting one i don't care how it looks i'm gonna stunt it anyways and if i do get one it will be before fall :YEAH i can't wait
