I am meeting the guy Saturday for mine. Mine is also a 2005 KTM 200. It has a few extra goodies like pipe guard, skid plate, bark busters, soft gel seat. A KTM engineer owned it so it comes with an extra factory fender and radiator covers. It does come with a flywheel weight which I probably will want that off. I didn't have any problems riding Marks without it. I might keep it on when I go test for my motorcycle license and then take it off.
Only trouble I had was starting it but I already got the hang of it.
It was a lot of fun. We haven't rode too hard. I really want the protective gear-especially a helmet before I really rip it. So far its a blast!

DO NOT RIDE W/O BOOTS!!!!! Get a decent pair of Alpine Stars or something...
I would recommend:
Helmet
Boots
Gloves
Knee pads/shin pad combo
moto x pants that fit outside the boot
and a decent moto x shirt. they have good protection and will save your elbows a little.
all those extras you got are definitely things you need, good find!

nice helmet DOT approved. again.....a NICE helmet!
goggles
gloves
CHEST PROTECTOR!(you'll thank me when you go over the bars....)
elbow pads, knee/shin guards(skateboard ones will work,not great, nice set of thor or 661's)
Motocross gear(shirt,pants. dont get pants that go over your boots, you'll look like a goon. they get caught on crap ie pegs and kickstart, theyll burn on your pipe, and if you fall feet first they can slide up your legs and give no protection.)
if your going to be ridding on the street PLEASE get leathers.......
Boots(Alpinstars......there the best hands down.)
do not skimp on gear......if you dont have the right gear than dont even ride.
PERIOD.
and wear all your gear EVERYTIME you ride, even if you just gonna goof off....cuz thats when you fall.
Safety first.

Do MX boots run your normal shoe size or do they run bigger/smaller?

hey Mark, I have some AXO Gear (Pants, Jersey) ANSWER Boots and Chest Protector if your interested. Or anybody for that matter.
gear is getting cheaper these days. the biggest things you need to splurge on are boots, helmet, and KNEE BRACES. if you guys aint riding with knee braces, you need to step up. then there's the LEATT, but i wont lecture you guys, youre all grown up.
i just scored me some of this gear, it was pretty cheap and looks good:

bad link. But Motosport is a good place to deal with.

Both bigger and smaller. If you have a place locally go in and try several styles/sizes on. I had a hard time finding a pair that gave me the ankle support needed. (toes up!) Alpine's are an awesome boot but I could not get the fit I needed and ended up with Fox Forma's. Most of the upper end boots will give you the protection you need so it comes down to fit. And Buckles....

also check ebay for helmets, I have had great luck getting Fly helmets that normally run for $300.00 for about $100.00

This is the combo Mark and I are looking at-orange of course.

We are going to go with Troy Lee Helmets. The guys on KTM talk rated that helmet along with Shoei and Arai the top helemts.
I am looking at some Fox Racing boots on ebay but they are my size-now I am worried they may not fit..
Yup we are getting all the pads, knee, elbow, chest protectors. I am trying to get the expensive and ABSOLUTELY necessary things first such as boots and helmet.
