What $400 Gets You in 2025 - Budget Project Hunt

Join me on a 12-hour round trip to pick up a $400 vintage Yamaha trail bike project!

In this episode, I hit the road at 5:00 a.m. for a massive drive across Melbourne to snag a 1986 Yamaha DT125 trail bike for just a few bucks. From pre-trip checks and battling traffic to negotiating deals and loading up gear , this is a raw, real look at the adventure of chasing down affordable projects.

This vintage 2-stroke is rough but full of potential—no headlight, flat tires, missing bolts—but we’re bringing it back to life. Follow along for laughs, gas stops, bargains, and the start of a new restoration journey.
