I'm guessing it's like this one
If it is it's the retro re-issue Haro Sport, frame style and colour are based on the classic 80's Haro Sport and as such in the right circles can have a bit of a retro classic prices premium but it's basically a base spec Haro Mirra so should be valued the same.
A year or 2 ago they were unloved and no one wanted them I rememeber a couple of mates bought them as retro bikes for about £100 each brand new, in the right circles prices have gone up a little but as a bike to actually ride although being more than good enough for a young lad they aren't great, so my budget guess would be between £100 and £150 if it's mint. rotate

Saw the title of this thread and was instantly overwhelmed by BMX nostalgia!

My made had a Haro freestle and IIRC, the seatstays ran up to the headtub, effectively a twin top tube, so a bit different to this 'sport'. I got a Redline at the time and, between the age of about 11 and 13, I'd spend most of my free time in the saddle. Happy days!

Then I discovered girls...

I'd keep an eye on the ebay auction, and offer him £100 for it if it doesn't sell. wink

To be honest I never really 'got' Kuwahara, I think they were a year or so before my time, but are now big again in the BMX Race world, this cruiser that was sale on a BMX forum I visit and it did look nice....
