WTB: Inexpensive Dirtybike

[breakdirt916]

just have both!!!

No money to be had with a two stroke in MX currently. You'll see privateers make a go of it every now and then, but main teams are all rocking what the factories want to sell.

This makes sense to me.

Thanks everyone. So far there's been a lot of good advice and a lot of people think the same way I seem to. Just to cover a few things that have been mentioned.
-My wr is very fun off road for someone of my skill level, however, I want to keep it as a dual purpose bike for right now, which means I don't want to beat it to death off road.
-I don't need a title, but I need to have whatever is required to register it for off road use at HVD.
- Imbeek's ktm is sweet.
-Nhbubba, thank you for your comments, as they affirm what I already believed.
-Next new bike may very well be a orange one, but for now my skill level and price range are both inadequate for one.
-To spend 5k on a used bike, I may as well just take out a loan for a new one.
-The older cr/rm/yz/Kx 125 2stroke route seemed like a good idea, but as mentioned, the work I'd have to put into a clapped out "never been raced" bike covered in sponsor stickers seems a bit ridiculous.
Thanks again for all the input. I'll keep looking and in the meantime if anyone finds anything good locally please feel free to pass it on. As mentioned before if I don't find anything now I'll just hold off and get something better in a few months. Anyone know where typeone's wr went to?...

[Kurlon]

I should add: I'm proof you don't need any skill at all to own an orange bike.

[nhbubba]

Your budget seems damned close to Gary's orange thing.

[breakdirt916]

Hvd no title necessary...

[typeone]

lol...that dude is like 10 years off...that is not a 2001...more like a 1991

yup, good eye. title says 2001, description says 1991. still looks real clean to me though. maybe offer $900? $850?

(shit, i can't even imagine buying a dirt bike for 900 dollars. it's against my Religion)

[typeone]

Anyone know where typeone's wr went to?...

yes, i do. and it's not happy (Hi, Tim!)

[typeone]

bryco, what's your height and weight? cant remember if you mentioned.

[bryco13]

Almost 6 ft and 250.

Great deal on a ktm 200 right here!2004 KTM 200 EXC

Another +1 for the KDX, for the woods.

[typeone]

Almost 6 ft and 250.

ok, that helps. my vote is still on a KDX 200/220 for the budget you've set.

This does appear to be a great deal. I don't know how far outside your budget you're willing to go, but for anybody wanting a woods bike, this fits.

[loudbeard]

Tell ya what, you can have my 01 KDX 200 for $1500, I'll buy the above KTM for myself. Problem solved.

[bbhzx10]

I was thinking the same thing, but I'd have to put a few miles on the new bike before selling the KDX. The bike is just too good in the woods to swap it blindly!

[loudbeard]

Yes, but the KTM has a plate. Do want that.

[bbhzx10]

So does my KDX .

[bryco13]

Pinned, if you're serious could you get me some pics and what it may need?

[loudbeard]

Will do. I'll be back home towards the end of the week and send you some stuff.

[bryco13]

Sounds good.

[bryco13]

So, who's in need of quick cash for a dirty bike they aren't using? (Bump).

[McBiggity]

If you want to try a KDX, I have one that sits in my garage now. I hope to use it again someday. Someday seems like a far away land right now.

But I'm in Webster and you can take it for a test run at HVD if you like. You'd just have to come get it.

[loudbeard]

Well chit. Can't really beat that offer, go ride his KDX!

[bryco13]

That is an amazing offer, thanks! I'll have to see what my schedule is like and my friend who has a trailer. There are a couple folks on her who's bikes I'm looking into, so I'm going to see how those pan out first.
