WTB DIRT BIKE

[9 RIDER]

Hello.
I’m trying to find a good dirt bike preferable "250" 2 stroke, I may consider 4 stroke "450" not older than 01(GREEN STICKER), and of course low hours not beat-up, something reasonable that not going to make me spend extra money after the purchase, so anyone, someone? Am I dream or what?


Ps: I think I’m getting old, I find myself so picky sometimes. :rofl

I have an 01 KDX220 for sale on these here forums. $2000 is what I am asking and it is a great bike. If I didn't already have 4 bikes in the garage I would keep this, but I am looking to buy another so it has to go. Research the KDX, you will find that a lot of people love it. It easily keeps up with the modern 4 strokes, and is a bit easier to ride. IMO.

Thanks, it's always good to include pictures, since KDX is not my first choice, there's always a chance to consider it. Thanks

have you checked craigslist? probably only about 238 different bikes to choose from with your criteria.

What is your first choice? KTM 300? That would be a good 2 stroke. You said you want green sticker, do you plan to ride trail/woods, desert, track...?

[9 RIDER]

Yes, I do, matter of fact I prefer trail better than tracks, but I’ll do at all, my first choice would be Honda, even if I have a Suzuki, I’ll always be a Honda guy.

If I were buying a dirt bike again, I'd probably go for a 2002 YZ250F. Those bikes are pretty awesome. I like my KTM, but I also really appreciate smaller & lighter. Those bikes are awesome. I've heard that the newer ones are even better, but they're not green sticker.

If you're looking for a 250 2 stroke, there are lots of great choices, and almost everything 98 & up is going to be well more bike than a new dirt rider can appreciate. Also... before you get too set on brand, consider that all of the 250 2-strokes tend to have different characteristics. If I recall, the KXs are a little more torquey at the expense of some top end. The Hondas (at least the last 250 2stroke I rode) was a pretty peaky bike. Lot's of hit on the top end. Of course I haven't really ridden one of the 2 strokes for about 3-4 years.

Also, it you;re not dead-set on a MX bike, there are lot's of good trail bikes around too. TTRs, XRs, DRZ, and so on. Trail bikes tend to be a little less maintenance intensive.
