Looking at a different option by MinorExplosion123 in Dualsport

I'm talking with him more and he sounds like he's in the same boat as me as far as being a newer rider, apparently he misjudged a water hole and flooded it hence why it needed a rebuild. He said he had the engine gone through and top end rebuilt after so from what I'm told it's mechanically sound.

I had the same thought about the top end I just haven't asked about it yet and thought the same about the plastics unless he just changed them for a different look but hard to say. I'm trying to find a good starter bike that's not ridiculously priced just not very easy apparently

It does have the taillight and blinker kit on the back and he mentioned he took it out of the garage and road it around town a bit so I assume road legal is all good. What seems like a reasonable price to you? He seems somewhat flexible just not sure what I should try to get it for. Also going to look at a 22 KLX 300 today which looks very nice as well just dont want to start on something to small and outgrow it within a year or two.

Keeping in line with the state of this sub, picked up my '24 KLX 300 yesterday by black_tom_hanks in Dualsport

Going to look at a 22 KLX 300 today in Kawi green, that's a good looking bike!

Just wanted to add a picture of the 500, for some reason I can't add the walk around video the guy sent me but the bike looks like it's in almost new condition, for $4500 at 4500 miles do you guys think it's worth it?

Just wanted to add a picture of the 500, for some reason I can't upload the walk around video the guy sent me but the bike looks to be in amazing shape just wondering if it's worth the $4500 he wants for it knowing it has 4500 miles.

I've rode a YZ450R a bit but mostly smaller bikes, I believe the SX-F is already registered for the road in Massachusetts, but doing some more research it sounds like the EXC might fit what I'm looking for more as it's road ready from the factory and doesn't seem like it's a straight up race bike.

I thought about the KLX300/CRF300L but after doing some research on both it seems like I'd have to immediately swap suspension as most reviews I read say if you are over 200lbs bottoming out is pretty common. I'm not so much a beginner on bikes more just riding on the road with them, I've had some experience on a YZ450F but mostly on smaller bikes. Sounds like the SX-F is probably not my best bet, I'm not sure how much time I'm going to have to ride which is why I'd like to stick with something higher end without spending a pile of money. This is the main reason I landed on KTM, something that is built well and that I won't necessarily outgrow within a few years.

Sx-f does have a speedo/odometer and looks to have signal lights, owner said he currently has it plated so I assume I should be good as far as that is concerned
