I'm thinking $1k or below. Ideal would be a $1 box of parts that when assembled will be a complete bike. : ) I have wrenches, I know how to use them, and will have space to use them, what I'll lack is those funny green slips of paper everyone covets.
ok I'll keep my eyes and ears open

There's an 05 125sx on New England Dirt Bike for $1600, so they do come up from time to time.
I have a 1999 YZ400 for sale for $1500.
New handlebars (1-1/8), tires, oil filter, air filter.
Chain and sprocket are still good.
Bike is in good condition.
I just got rid of my 95 RM250...too bad.

Pick up that KDX220. Great bike, very easy to ride.
Swing by the house some time and you can take the cr125r out on the river. She's studded and ready to go.

Mmmm.... ice racing.... Will definitely have to plan a party on the ice soon.
I have no desire to read all the threads, so I'll just add that if I could go out and buy a dirty bike right now, it'd be wunna the 250 4-strokes that're out there...
If I hadn't ridden dirt in 20 years, I'd probably still be of that thought. I wouldn't wanna go out and get something small/underpowered only to 'outgrow' it in a season. A 250 around here would fit the bill perfectly. Small & nimble enough to take my time getting comfortable on, yet powerful enough for most NH trails that I wouldn't get bored with it's power...
Did you grit your teeth and try to look like Clint Fuckin' Eastwood?
Or did you lisp it all hangfisted like a fuckin' flower?
See, thats part of why I'm asking opinions. The KTM 105 appealed to me 'cause it's lighter than a 125 2 stroke / 250 4 stroke by a good amount, and well, I'm a small guy. I'm used to small bikes, hence asking if it'd be something I'd 'outgrow' or not. I really like the idea of a KTM 125 2 stroke now too given that wheels will swap with my track mount. And after owning lots and lots of 4 stroke singles, a 2 stroke sounds like a fun change and I won't complain about the lack of valve adjustments.
On the flip side, my budget right now means I'm likely to be stuck with a worn pair of Sketchers as my 'dirt mount'. : )
if you dont mind the smaller ride then another thing to consider is that the ktm105 won't be like getting a 125 4stroke or small 'play' bike
aka: it'll fuckin rip if you open it up.

Heh, I'm not short at 5' 10", but I am, well, built like a runway supermodel with an eating disorder... As has been noted before, spandex underarmor isn't supposed to be 'baggy'... : ) So it's the weight that has been the primary thing I've been looking at initially.
I don't know if it's odd or not. But I'd also want a machine that intimidates me if I were to get a dirty bike. Again, don't ask me why. It's just wunna those things. Maybe something 'too tall' and intimidating is my way of keeping in-check. I dunno...
