i picked up my Atomik Fuse 125 last year for $120 with a dead gearbox.
it didn't take much work to tidy it up to look like this, i had a couple of spare engines, so i chucked the Lifan 150 into it.
are you only wanting pit bike related bargains etc ?

I traded a old home theater set up for a 125cc orion but it was pretty rough. So about $80 .. not too bad but it did need a lot of work and it was rusty.
I got my 80's peewee for free , just had to look after my cousions for a few days
It cleaned up really well and runs and looks good for less then $50. A lot of time but still pretty good.
I got my new pit bike for $50 with a blown engine. He wanted $150 , I said $80.. he took it , rocked up with it in the ute and I said , it's crap.. I will give you $40 he said no , I said $50 and he's like yeah ok.. saves me taking it home It needed a lot of work and I kinda only got the wheels , carbie , throttle , clutch , chain and swing arm for that.. But those parts would cost more second hand so it was ok. I had a lot of parts going to waste in the shed so they got put to good use

nice work Rick ^^
seeing your Atomik and the PW reminded me of a couple more bargains i've got.
although after some of the work that's gone into them ?
they wouldn't be bargains if i had to pay for all that labour, lol
Cjs' 1983 PW50 , $200
and my Suzuki DS80 hacker for $50
then there was my Custom Orion 125/110/150/125 that i paid $50 for, was a basket case.
but it cleaned up well, and i had a lot of fun on it.
that sold for $500
and my first pit bike, an Atomik 125, i can't remember if i paid $75 or $150 for it ?
i cleaned it up, fixed the flat tyres, fitted a new chain and plastics then sold it for $450 (minus the 175 hp NOS kit, lol)
after riding it around at the farm for 18 months.
and finally, my old 82 ? XR500, i paid about $100 iirc ? sold it for $500 not running
there are build threads for the above bikes in my signature too,
for anyone interested in seeing the work that went into them, or that hasn't seen them yet.

The engine isnt too bad lots to salvage the only things it didnt come with where the barrel, conrod and piston.
Found a guy wrecking a wr 250 and am buying the motor for 500. so for 900 i have a pretty decent bike.
Best part is ITS NOT STOLEN.
