ok, so I'm at a cross roads. I MAY be able to get a KTM450xc for like 2 grand give or close. my buddy got a KTM 525 for like under 3 grand from the local dealership. so I REALLY want to get it if I can somehow swing it.. but a kid also wants to trade my sounds for his SDG pro mini (125cc pitbike that's pretty setup to do actual riding)

the kicker is the SDG won't cost me any money and I could get it like tomorrow... the KTM I'd probably have to get a small loan from the bank or something and show up with $2gs + cash and see what I can do. bring my buddy too since he got his for like 2500 or whatever... but I THINK he said he did some work for them is how he got it so cheap but I hit him up on facebook to find out. if I can get it for $2gs I really want to get it.. I'm not sure it was foreal but the sticker price said like $10gs and the dude told me they'd do $4500 out the door. but seeing as how my buddy got it for $2500 I'd do it for that kinda coin. I'm not a big 4 stroke fan but it's setup to go already I think it has long travel and such. it has Ohlin shocks and maxxis razor MX on some kinda black wheels and what looked like a titanium header. but for the money (IF I get it for like $3 or under) it's ALOT of bike brand new.. I don't see getting anything on this level for this price new elsewhere... my buddies blaster was the cheapest bike I could find ($900) for a lightly modded blasty. and my other buddy has a banshee ful stocker for $3gs that's been sitting in the yard under a tarp at times for over a year and probably hasn't been started that long lol. so that's a crappy deal I'm better off getting one from someone else...

anyway, for free it's hard to beat a 125 pro mini... (well outta pocket free since I already have the sounds and I'm not even using them anymore) but I will be VERY hard pressed to get another 450 for such a good deal... even if I blow the motor down the road it's still a sick rolling chassis :D I could drop in a used R1 motor at which point LOL... anyway, I feel the KTM IF I can get a deal on it is a solid bike. but if I can't I'll possibly consider the SDG... but not before trying to get the KTM I think... I just don't know :( lmk wut u guys think.. a pitbike like that is one hell of a fun toy too tho lol
 
eh, I just found out it's a 08 KTM 450 XC thus the price break... it's at the local dealership new, but they also have it on CL... Kaiser cycles in kona on the big island of HI ;) incase anyone is wondering..

2008 KTM 450XC ATV

that's the one for sure.. odd thing is, they weren't there a month ago when I was there last... just got a shipment of 08s somehow lol... dunno but whatever. alot of bike for the money.. even at $5gs its an OK price but I'm not paying 5 for it :(
 
those ktm 450s are very fast. they are not detuned like the other 450's and they have the highest compression.
 
yea those KTMS are NICE stock....there suspesion is supoosed to be like a cloud in stock form and i hear there fast as shiz
 
hm, so the wife says I can get the KTM, but I need to clean up all my parts outside and other misc crap...

and I found out my buddy built some trailers for them is how he got like $2500 off... still gotta hit the bank for a small loan, got like $1,000 to use but will need the other like 3+ I think they'd do $4,000 cash.. so... oh, I passed on the pitbike.. I really want a 2 stroke tho like a 250r or something but I guess I could do a ktm 450xc.... just will have to get rid of the orange plastics in favor of the black set they make for them.. and then I'd be more stoked about it lol we'll see, gotta run down to the bank asap if I wanna get a loan today...
