Advice on a KLX replacement??

Folks- I'm getting my son a used KLX250S because he turns 16 next summer. Or I'm gonna buy a KTM 450EXC dual sport and give him my KLX250.

Question: I found a brand new 2008 KTM 450EXC on sale for $5600 before tax from a dealership. On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being worst 10 being best) what would you rate the price for this bike?

9, good price, if that's what you want buy it. They usually clip you another 400 for the DS kit, unless you found exc-r

There's a low hour (47) supermoto version of that bike on KTMTalk classifieds right now for $5800. Since a SM kit can go upwards of $2K, I'd give that price about a 7.

Check this model out. Brand new for 2010 and plated in the USA I believe. Check the weight! These modern 250's have more than enough mumbo for you average rider. 106KG dry and all new.
