I have RYAN VILLOPOTO'S practice bike???

[Kawi_Rider690]

I was on craigslist the other day and seen the title 2008 kx450f AMA pro supercross $4200. For shits and grins i clicked on it. Looked like a sweet bike aka (looked like Ryan Villopoto's replica) and the guy put will trade for camper, 4wheeler or ktm sx250f. Well i happen to have a 2007 sx250f and for more grins i offered him what i had. He said meet me somewhere and we have a deal. went over way to easy. when i met him he told me the bike was Ryan Villopoto's practice bike and later on was given to a guy by Kawasaki that races pro arena cross. I just had a hard time beleiving it but i didnt care the bike looked sweet. So he traded me straight up. Bike has all the goodies on it and i love it!!!! I didnt do to bad did I??

Was there any proof to the story ? , documentation , AMA Pro stickers , special parts , Villapoto's name on the graphics or somewhere on the bike , that would at least verify the story ??

Nope no papers. I would really like to run the vin like a damn car fax if that was possible but oh well. How do you post pics im a newbie here.

good for you if it is rvs old bike. It doesnt matter really as you allready bought it and seem to love it, enjoy

RV finished out the '08 season in the Lites class. His first ride on a 450 was in October of 2008 at Glen Helen (filmed by Racer X).

I doubt it was RVs "practice bike." Those rarely, if ever, end up in the public's hands. More probable that it was a Kawi test bike that perhaps Ryan happened to ride once or twice (or never). They have a lot of test bikes that get tossed around every year.

Regardless, if it's a good bike, enjoy it. I'd take a '08 KX 450 over a '07 SX 250 any day.

Some of the most well-kept bikes are Pro's practice bikes, I have bought several of them. They get their parts for free and replace all the wear parts prior to selling them and you get a great, low-hour bike at a great price.

Also RV was practicing on 450's long before he began racing them and a practice bike will not have AMA stickers, special parts or his name on it.

Enjoy your new bike.

You overpaid, you got 'goodies', and you were told a good story.

Just ride it.

In my post I mentioned I had a 2007 sx250f that I bought used for $2000 and traded him for the 08 kx450 . even trade. Either way I love the bike
