    The soon to be Motard

    Just picked this up today. 03 KTM 525EXC, got it for $3,500. The seller would not budge....at....all. Bike has 586 miles, for a 03 not bad! Bike hasnt seen to much use thats for sure, not sure if it was ever off road. Know that I have it, thats gonna change. Shes got a few extras, full exhaust, factory connection suspension, etc. So.....anyone have a set of wheels for sale? And thanks Mark(R7), I owe ya!!
    So...whatcha all think? Any suggestions about maintence or what not?

    That sure was a nice score Tom It was one of those things, once you walk up to the bike, you knew it was as described. And to think I came across that bike buying a oil seal for my KTM, damned saleman. Looking forward to doing some tard riding

    Nice score.
    I have a 450 XC-W, pretty much the same bike. I would love to have a set of tard wheels, almost went for it, bought a ZED instead.
    My riding budy has one, it flat rips, they are wheelie machines.
    If you ever considered riding dirty, that is one hell of a bike. It may be even better than mine in tight stuff thanks to the bullet proof engine. It just doesnt stall and it has much tourque.
    Enjoy.
    Let me know if you are selling any of the dirt stuff from it.
    OT

    No, not really. He taxed me on $2,700 instead of $2,500 like the bill of sale had said. No big deal. Colddd weekend ahead, but i'll be out there. You?

    That sounds about rite for RI.

    It probably wouldn't take much to talk me into going for a ride
