Sold $5650 2017 Alta MX With 100 Miles

[Wheelsick]

Good Morning Alta Owners, one last effort to sell this bike in 2019.
The bike is basically brand new, 100 Miles & maybe 4 hours. Perfect bike with charger & title.
Legit deal, location is: N Colorado.
My name is Rick - 2017 ISDE Senior Racer.
My intentions with this new one was to street the bike, never materialized & I don’t need 2 Alta bikes in my barn.

What battery range do you get when trail riding

Thanks

37 high mountain miles. Do some searching around. Tons of posts on miles per charge

I can't believe nobody scooped this up by now.

ck696 was going to sell his MXR for $5500

“Was going to” If I only had one. Wouldn’t let it go for any price.

I think he ended up selling it for $6250

Super tempted. But I imagine it would be pretty hard to ride after my wife killed me for buying another bike. Death definitely makes achieving proper riding form difficult. But would love to get one for my older son and swap out his TTR230. Then I could just be done with gas bikes altogether. Sure do love me some no-maintenance bikes! Maybe next summer.

The TTR is already a low maintenance bike. But ditching gas bike maintenance all together would be nice.

Buy it for the wife?

Buy it for the wife?

Sadly, not an option. Took me 10 years to convince her to let me teach my sons to ride. Plus, she’s 5’ nothing, probably couldn’t reach the pegs, let alone the ground.

I could use the bike for another project (like the Grom and CRG kart conversions I did) but it’s only worth about $4k to me (delivered). I know it’s worth more than that but If you get the itch to simply dump it let me know.

It appears that all price sensitive buyers here have already bought enough Altas for their current and next lives. But someone who always wanted one will scoop it up quickly, I am sure, as soon as they see it.

@Christian -- why not you?

 

[Christian]

I messaged him. Sure its already sold by now.

 

[Wheelsick]

Still peaking out. No $$ yet !!!

Pic for attention

Don't need two Altas... looks like you have two of everything else!

It's possible the demand for the MX models is starting to dry up. I suspect the MXR models will soon follow. There's only so many Alta owners who were/are interested in a 2nd (backup) or even 3rd bike and the pool of procrastinating buyers can't last forever. That leaves the majority of future demand to folks discovering the Alta for the first time. With no OEM support and no advertising it'll eventually boil down to word of mouth and an occasional real life encounter on the trail or at the track. I've been pleasantly surprised as to how well prices have held so far but if you're thinking of selling my advice would be to act sooner rather than later.

I would love to buy a backup for my MX, but it's just not an option for me right now. Too bad as it's a great price.
