So... there's a 1990 or earlier (didn't catch the exact year) KTM 350 E/XC two stroke woods machine for sale near me.

Missing front caliper and brake line
Front brake master has been epoxy'd
Clutch is crazy stiff, doesn't engage
Sidestand mount is fatigued and ready to snap off
Bodywork is beat
Seat is beat
Rear tire is flat
Shift lever has been epoxy'd on
Leaks oil from: Yes
Headlight doesn't work

But hey, it starts and runs! Damn thing sounded good?!

Anyone want the contact info for this gem?

This

Asking price was $1250.

FYI, my WR cost less up front... and was at least ridable...

Thanks!
Yes, way too much for that bike. Wayyy too much!

[breakdirt916]

offer $1,200...but as CASH, and bring a truck...you can probably get it!!!

any other new dirtybike riders in the forum??

the torch needs to be passed on

[Kurlon]

Is it bad that I've already searched for replacement calipers online, have a gut feeling that a early 90s YZ unit will work... and got confirmation that the clutch may just be stuck due to sitting?

[Chippertheripper]

Still too much Josh. $600, maybe, but even that's a stretch for a bike with these kinds of issues.

IMHO even $600 is a bit much for a 21+ year old bike with that many issues. Plus, those are the issues you know of, I'm sure there's many more..and many more will surface as you start to ride it.

I wouldn't give him $300 but I can't help researching 'just in case'. It's in my nature. I already have my WR project to keep me occupied for now, and if things go right I may have a pair of projects to keep busy through this winter...

Right on. I've been keeping my eyes peeled specifically for a western ri type woods bike.

You'll want a western RI type woods bike when you see the final sections of trail I cut You're welcomed to come back anytime

Serious about 1200 being too much for a antique dirty with a host of known issues and who knows what unknown issues? Yes.
And I like shitty bikes too.

[breakdirt916]

but the technology on antique dirty bikes are lousy...they're not nearly as much fun as a newer bike

and the potential cost explosion on any older bike (plus parts availability: can you even do it?) is just too risky

I wouldn't even pay $300 for anything older than 15 years...even if it's running! a few months into it, you'll have to replace everything you'd replace on a non-running bike anyhow

[Chippertheripper]

Then why did you suggest to offer 1200 cash? Now I'm confused.

[breakdirt916]

after the debacle that Kurlon and I had gone through with our bikes, I was being 100% sarcastic

I think that bike is a lousy deal at almost any price...

K-dawg - run away!!!

imho: if you want an old bike, buy it only for the novelty of liking that specific bike, or for the novelty of fixing/restoring

the risk of them costing more money is extraordinarily high, and if you want to buy it to ride it, you can buy a newer bike for just a little more money that will cost you less in the long run...plus it'll actually have fewer broken parts and can actually be ridden!

$1250, that's hilarious. the letters K, T and M are making people delusional

someone should scoop up the ~5hr old 2002 CR250R on WoodsRider or NEDB (forget which), it's in N RI. looks almost new, price has been dropping rapidly (down to 2500 obo)

That guy on crack?
