    I have also seen that one advertised on Cl from the shop In SanFrancisco.



    I think they were asking 1500.00

    I just looked and the add must of expired. But its a legit shop across the bay from me.



    It had run on CL for about a month or less. I guess they are running it on ebay now.



    With so many people unemployed in there area. They must be having a hard time sellin them.

    I can answer alot of questions you have about this bike, first off my buddy had one and it lasted him a whole...4 hours tops before it LITERALLY detonated. Also the geometry is so off on that bike, before it grenade'd I rode it around and it cornered really awkwardly. Lastly I don't have personally experience with the customer service of OGM but from word of mouth they aren't really on their game.



    If you have anymore questions PM me, I'm not looking to start a war.

    Re: Good deal???

    well i got an ogm sx 140 now, but it does not have enough power. i don't want to bump up to a mid-size since i like the 50's base so much better. anyone personally have one?

    Re: Good deal???

    Why not just take that 1500.00 and have a motor built for the one you have??

    Re: Good deal???

    They were selling these for way more when they first came out... sheesh... and the frame on that 140sx can't be near as nice, the 140sx frame has only a single tube not the double tubes of pitster, ssr, ect...



    And that engine is a YX 150 they are reliable, not sure why you gernaded one.



    But for way cheaper you could buy a sweet frame, nice forks, and port and polish your head and install a race cam, then sell most of your old parts and about a brand new bike for around $300, just my 2 cents



    TBolt USA, LLC » Pit Bike Chassis Parts » Frames & Swingarms » HRC HD Frame

    TBolt USA, LLC » Pit Bike Chassis Parts » Front Forks » DNM Hornet Forks

    Ahp Minis



    But T-bolt is selling that bike for 2449! So I'd say go for it!!!!!! I got a potential buyer for your old bike

    he's asking if the bike is a good deal... seeing that it's $1000 cheaper than when it first came out I'd say it's a good deal.
