I sold her tonight to my best buddy and good riding buddy, so she is not gone!!


I picked up this guy:






It rips!!! So light too 218lbs dry. Six speed, fresh top end. It's a 2000 200EXC but looks like it was hardly ridden. Street plate, should be fun Can't wait to try it in the woods - I need to get proper tires on it!!!!

 

Nice score! That is mint for a 2000 and street legal!
Rode a 300 EXC and a 450 4T last summer. They are light, powerful, and well suspended machines. Of all the 2T I'm willing to buy, that one is at the top of the list.
Have fun on that thing!

 

Just went out for an hour ride.. On road, and a logging road through the forest (tires no good off road!)

WOW! that bike is so much fun!!!! It's like a high strung turbo motor - I frickin love it.. CAn't wait to get some proper tires on it!!!!! Speaking of which - I just ordered some Kenda Trakmaster II's from my local shop, should be here tomorrow. First ride of the season will be on Sunday... I will be starting the season at the very spot that ended my season last year.. And I'm going to take a leak on the tree that broke me. hahaha

 

C'mon, CL...that's an apples-to-oranges deal if I ever saw one...LOL!

Yeah, those KTM200's are excellent bikes and maybe the best tool for hardcore offroad where technical, tighter riding is king. The fast, open deserts are the only place where they fall behind their bigger sibblings IMO. I'd love to have one for our club's riding ranch. It would kill out there. However, for the trip I'm leaving on in the morning for 2 weeks in southeastern Utah, my KLX250/300 is the superior tool for the job. A guy needs at least two bikes to cover the bare minimum of riding IMO...at least for me. I've been looking around for something like that KTM or even a clean KDX200 to fill out my ride list. Nice bike, CL.

 

The KDX would definitely be my dedicated off road bike if I had room in the garage and a way of hauling it to OHV areas! Excellent value, reasonable maintenance, and not too precious to flog!

 

Not to hijack the thread, but...

IIRC, there was talk of a early 2013 "Moab" trip on the forum last year. I never heard anything more after the talk about it died down. So, is this the trip you were planning way back when...???

 

But...but.....LARRY!!!!! It's NOT GREEN!!!! We thought you were our friend!!!

(Looks good, dude.)

 

Sold my 200 last summer. Probably the greatest bike I've been on, but I use the KLX for different things...and wouldn't trade it for anything. Have fun in KTM land. Stop smiling

 

Not sure about announcements, but this is the trip I take every year at this time to SE Utah.

 

Yeah - 95% of my riding is woods single track, so I'm hoping this will be an ideal bike!

I dropped the rims off this morning to local shop to have the Trakmasters put on.. I bought from them and asked if they would throw in install free and they went for it.. Nice!

*MIGHT* go for a quick romp in the local woods tonight....
