If we had a dime for every previous owner horror story that we’ve either lived or heard, chances are excellent that we could at least all chip in for a $1,500 nightmare of a secondhand dirtbike, like the Suzuki RMZ 250 in this video. Those who have a soft spot for hard-done-by bikes that just need a little time and care will find plenty to enjoy here.
Now, we will spoil you just a little and let you know that even though the video doesn’t start with a bike in running condition, don’t worry—it does end up in running order by the end. Like some of the best rides, though—it's not totally about the destination, but the journey. (The real friends we made were the completely bonkers valve clearances we met along the way!)
