Dang. Takes me back man, beautifully done! Trying to bring a 97 and 02 kx250 back to life after years of neglect from previous owners. Would love to make a pro circuit theme this clean. Superb job.
Well you know you've got my full support I'm doing that David! Sounds like you've got a couple rad projects. You just can't go wrong with a PC themed bike. Thanks dude!
Amazing build once again, you’re on another level of building bikes. Chris owner of Dare Decals USA did an amazing job with the graphics!!! He never skips a beat man congrats a this high caliber of a bike!!!
Thank you Trent! It was definitely a level I've never gone to before. And you could even go levels above this, it's insane what you can spend on these things. 🤯
Looking insane, I love the look of Cycra stadium style plates . The zip ties will wear away the fork anodizing very quickly. Maybe throw some 3M clear guard behind the zip ties before you ride it .
i hear the two stroke sound in my head all day everyday, my friends tell me its the head injuries making my ears ring but i think its the stinger ringdedingdingding WAAAAAAHHDDADADADADA YYAAAAAATTT!!
This video series was awesome and the bike is badass! I started my 01 build 2 years ago, budget was smoked weeks in, just patiently waiting on a pipe from P.C. and it's done I'd say you are between $8500/$9500 just based on some of my big ticket items. Motor -$1200 Wheels- $1000 Lectron- $500 Plastics& graphics- $450 Galfer brake kit & lines-$500 Rebuild kits shock, brakes & bearings- $600 Renthal- $300 Arc levers - $250 I haven't added up what was spent on OE parts but im sure it's up there. Also ordered some trick billet parts from the UK
Heck yeah! Hopefully pro circuit produces that pipe for you soon. More to come out of this build series, I appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼. And it's seriously all of the OEM parts that puts you over the edge every time haha
Hey Greg. Just wanted to give you a big thanks. I’ve been following this build since you started it. I actually went out and snatched up a 2002 kx250 and rebuilt it right along with you. I followed your videos religiously because they helped me a lot on my build. Thanks a ton man!
Heck yeah dude!! Man that's such a rad story, thanks for sharing that with me. If you have instagram shoot me some pics! Or send them to my email at hitchmotoko@gmail.com. I'd love to see it💨
Looks sweet, sounds great , a good runner for sure. Do those fork guards and the guides on the outer tubes really slide all the way through the full travel of the forks ? If not, just remove those guides. No modern bike has guides attached to the fork sliders. 😊
There are a few companies that can make an exact copy of that seat cover for you i had it done and it is identical except i chose to have it made out of gripper material but you really cant tell its worth it man
Who are the companies that can make it in gripper?! I know who can replicate it but, didn't know there's one that could do grip. That's why I had my wife sew patches on a GUTS seat for me lol
Hey Greg, looks like you've got about 8 to 10 grand into that KX in parts alone. I don't know what you paid for the bike, so add that too. My 99 KX250 is pretty decent, but it certainly shows it's age if you look closer. Still rips though... I honestly wouldn't mind to have some of the stock parts you took off, but shipping would likely be prohibitively expensive to my side of the globe. Anyway, awesome build, and very detailed walkthrough. Thanks for that, definitely will come in handy when I give mine a bit of TLC. Peace bro.
Thanks for the kind words my dude! Paid $5k for the bike itself, (covid pricing...makes me want to puke) but really happy with it. Shoot me an email about what oem parts you may want! I get discounted shipping so it won't actually be that bad on you.
The oem ones were actually in hell of good shape, the welding that was done to put the corner brackets on could have been cleaner looking but you win some, you lose some
Thanks man! And yup exactly about the backgrounds. I wanted to keep the black with this kit even though it's a 250. The black looks so much better than white backgrounds for it in my opinion
I recon there’s got to be at least 20k in that build maybe a little more tbh some of the era stuff on the bike is near on impossible to obtain with all parts being used up over the years so it’s cost is a premium to obtain it. Greg imagine you were paying your self minimum wage for all the research time, looking for parts plus the assembly/spanner time if you added that to the cost of the build the price of the build would get crazy
Haha dude if only I was paying myself minimum wage for the research. It's time consuming but super fun at the same time. (My guess is really close to your number as well)....
Thank you brotha. I hope I'm close enough for the win. I'm a huge fan of your page on instagram and TH-cam. Love the 2 stroke builds and I watch every single one of them. I would kill to do a built with you or work with you and even shred with you as well.🤘🏻🤙🏻 Would be a dream come true to do all of the 3. I would kill to rip one of your 2 stroke builds. I love them all. I'm dying to get a bike again. Unfortunately had to sell my 13 crf450r 6-7 years ago due to bills and money and being behind and i collapse to my knees as tears poured down my face as I watch my bike leave in the back of a truck pulling out of my driveway💔🥺😢 i still lose sleep over it to this day because there's nothing I love and want more in my life is another dirtbike. I eat,sleep, breath the sport of motocross and I want a 250 2 stroke so bad or a bike in general again. Trying to save enough to buy a brand new YZ 250 two stroke right off the show room floor. I dream about it all the time. I need to ride again. I miss it and I need it more than ever in my life right now. 🙌🏻🤘🏻🤙🏻💯❤️ 32:1 ✌🏻💨 keep me updated for the raffle prize with the total cost of your 99 split fire build🙌🏻😍🤘🏻 @Lebel412

Good tip on the zip ties my dude! Thanks for that. It's actually a UFO plate, how they came back then 🙌🏼💨
Love the theme builds.
Number plate is next level and the Graphics are unreal!!!
Thanks brother!
Thanks Luke!! Yeah man I'm stoked on the front plate too🙌🏼. But what about that cap on the engine as well 😍
i hear the two stroke sound in my head all day everyday, my friends tell me its the head injuries making my ears ring but i think its the stinger ringdedingdingding WAAAAAAHHDDADADADADA YYAAAAAATTT!!
Blame it on the stinger for sure 😂😂😂
Nice work Greg !
Cheers dude thank you 🔥
Wow! That thing is so cool! Not only does it look badass, it will perform like they did on the starting line. Congratulations Greg!
Thank you very much Brett! Man you're not far off with that comment, it may or may not have 2 hours on it already at the time of this video 🫢lol

@@GregHitchkodang dude if only you read my comment ☹️
Stunning build Greg that bikes turned out amazing
Cheers Dan I appreciate it man 💨
That build came out great. Hopefully my 92 kx125 comes out half as good as yours did. Keep them old 2 strokes alive 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Alex! Dude keep me posted on your 92! Such a cool year man 💨
This is my dream bike build but in a 125!!!!!!! I haven’t watched your content in a while but they are still impressive to say the least great video
Hells yeah! I've got an 04 KX125 now, we will see what happens with it lol thank you dude
Super cool! Would love a set of those whiskey throttle grip donuts!
Thanks my man! Yeah I was stoked to come a across a set of those donuts 🙌🏼
A new repro seat cover would look killer on that bike.
I'm eventually going to repaint the flames on this seat cover but I didn't have enough time before displaying it at A2. Down the road 🙌🏼
@@GregHitchko didn’t know that was possible, bad ass!! Will look killer.
Looking forward to see the conepipe on that amazing beauty 😁
Same!! Can't wait to test it back to back 🙌🏼💨💨
Superb (mimmick a french accent) 👌🏼😅. Well done my dude, she is absolutely stunning. Cant wait to hear ping twist the living breath out of it 🤘🏼.
Haha I was able to hear the Superb in a french accent myself. Me too man, keep you posted on when he does!
Beautiful bike
Thank you 💨
Hello from Ireland ☘️ Bike looks incredible greg. Fantastic job 😊
Cheers mate! Much appreciated
Incredible build Greg!
Thank you Jimmy!!
Sounds really strong
Love me the sound of a KX engine 🙌🏼
How do you not have a permanent smile on when you are cracking the throttle??
Oh it couldn't have been any bigger when I did the first start video haha😁
Looks sweet, sounds great , a good runner for sure. Do those fork guards and the guides on the outer tubes really slide all the way through the full travel of the forks ? If not, just remove those guides. No modern bike has guides attached to the fork sliders. 😊
Thanks dude! Yeah you could take them off for sure, they don't do much but for the era specificness of this build, gotta keep them on🙌🏼
20k lol unreal bike greg fantastic work following your work from over here in Ireland 😊
Thank you Chris! Honestly, that's kind of where I'm thinking too in terms of pricing it out 😂
Hey would you mind sharing in detail how much the front end costs?
Yep good job Greg just like my RM!Little john from the UK
Thanks little John! Have I seen your RM yet? Send me photos please!
There are a few companies that can make an exact copy of that seat cover for you i had it done and it is identical except i chose to have it made out of gripper material but you really cant tell its worth it man

Amazing bike Greg! Could you share the components supplier's list?
Thank you dude! I definitely will. I'll be doing a video about the costs where I will lay everything out 👍🏼
New radiators would have completed it.But Im beng a stickler.Awesome build 🤙
The oem ones were actually in hell of good shape, the welding that was done to put the corner brackets on could have been cleaner looking but you win some, you lose some
Where did you get the bolts and washers for the plastic?
I got the from Spec Bolt! The bolts are their nickel plated kit and then the drilled out washers 👍🏼. So fresh looking
Let’s go!!!
Yeahhh Chris! Finally haha🙌🏼
Looks sick, only question is why’d you do black backgrounds on a 250? Just because PC is a 125 team?
Thanks man! And yup exactly about the backgrounds. I wanted to keep the black with this kit even though it's a 250. The black looks so much better than white backgrounds for it in my opinion
@@GregHitchko no doubt they look better, keep up the killer work! Your builds are top notch
Amazing
Thanks man!!

Looking to sell?
😍🔥
💨💨
The 97-99 KX 250s were great bikes. $7500
Love these things, Jim! Man I wish it was only $7,500 😭🤣🤦🏼♂️
I think around 11grand the pc parts are very expensive I am building myself also a kx 250 pc but I making it new style its a 2003 kx 250
Right on dude! Yeah so you know and have an idea of how expensive those PC parts are, NOT cheap lol
Yeah I know but whats the problem is you dont find them eather
@@zoranwens1502 that's half the headache, half the fun lol
Surprised you actually received your graphics from chris. Hes awfully hard to get a hold of
He's definitely a busy guy but keep following up and he will pull through for you 👍🏼
😍
🙌🏼💨💨
Ok ill buy it back🎉😂
Might be a hair more than the original sale price lol😂
👍👍👍👍
🙌🏼💨💨
I’m thinking 15k total build
Not a bad guess right there!!
Nice bike i have 1994 kx 250 until now i still have it.
@@rajelledragon5763 right on man! Never sell that thing 🤙🏼
Easy over 10k. Depending on how many free parts he got
We are going by how much each part would cost straight up! But oh yeah too easily over 10k haha
$9999
Haha I like what you did there
I say you put about 2500 into it!! Lol
If I only put that much into it 😭😂💨
I'm gonna say 6 grand for the build
I wish it was only $6k 😭🤣🤦🏼♂️
10,500.00
Not a bad guess!! 💨
$40,000.00
I'm hoping it wasn't that much 😳😁💨
Total package with all the new parts top to bottom saying this was a brand new 99 off the show room floor. I would say about 14-15k 🤞🏻🤞🏻 @Lebel412
Great guess dude! Not bad haha. Can't wait to confirm when I break it all down
