Right now is one of the best times ever to be buying a house...especially up in that sh!thole where you live! haha

You will realize within the next 5 years that ....oh crap, I will be old one day, and I should start preparing for my financial situation.

5,000 dollars is 5% down on a 100,000 dollar house, and you not being a 30 year old loser living with mama.

or

5,000 dollars is... I think I want to go ride on some trails

You do the math.

 

[brett]

wow. a 100,000 dollar house. man i wish you can still find one of those out here

It was an example

It was an example

oh.... i know they're out there somewhere. probably alaska nowadays

 

[WFO Speedracer]

No they are out there,you just have to know how and where to look,the place I have I didn't pay that much for ,the owner owner financed it zero interest,every dime I pay goes directly toward the principal,in two more years or less its mine.

I had a 1998 YZ250 once upon a time hater! lol You been hanging with Hypes or what?


That bike never sold. He relisted it for 5k. I think I would probably go get it if he would take 4.5k for it...

 

[Motorheads5]

Dayum Man you haven't bought a bike yet WTF

 

[dbrutherford]

Nah. I am looking more at the big picture. I will be buying a house within a year. If I sell my 4-wheeler, get a good tax return, and a nice bonus from work, I will probably get one next spring.

 

[Motorheads5]

Responsibility suck's huh
Hell I think now the most important thing is to enjoy everyday and do what you want our kid's are almost out of the house and I am gonna buy a new girlfriend (jokes)

 

[dbrutherford]

Yeah I could use a new GF too. I just go after the young college girls. They just like alcohol bought for them...

I am wanting a WR or CRF450X to maek a dual sport out of. This one seemed like a somewhat fair deal since the bike is new and already has a $500 Dual Sport conversion kit from Baja Designs on it plus the tires! But then again I like my money in the bank. I am trying to sell my quad for 3k but I would send it down the road for 2k. I will probably just part it out this winter.

I just need someone to either talk me into or out of this bike...

Do yourself a favor and consider how you are going to ride this dualsport.If you are going to ride street and some fire roads the klr will work.If you are going to ride lots of fire roads and some single track then buy a klx or xr.The klx and xr are very dependable but carry less weight than the klx.If you want to ride mostly single track and offroad like your on a motocross bike don't buy the klx or xr look at the Yamaha wr,KTM or CRF 450 x.Don't buy anything smaller than a 450 as a dual sport.If you cover alot of area non technical on a 250 you will always be wanting for more power and higher top speeds.Yes it can be done but you will also wear this bike out sooner riding it at peak output.The KTM Has 2 oil pumps and 2 oil filters and carries more oil than the wr or crf450x.You could buy 3 sets of plastics for a Ktm for the price of 1 set for a klx.There are interchangeable parts between different years,models and displacements on ktm's.They are fast have great suspension, brakes and awesome low end .They are not as quiet as the wr or 450x. The clutch and valve train are a little noisey.Did someone already say buy a KTM.Save your money, ride them all and then choose.

 

[h2odesperado]

supermoto!!!!:Banane35::Banane35:

 

[dbrutherford]

If Yamaha made a dual sport 450 like the WR250, I would be all over one already.

A supermoto did cross my mond too.

Interesting fact about the KTM. I didn't know they had a dual oil pump.


My main use will be off road trials, then dirt/fire roads, then on road around town. That is why I wanted more of a dirt bike than a street bike.

 

[yamaslut]

whoever said KTM was expensive is not correct. They come from the factory w/ tons of after market goodies and don't need much. I find the parts are very cheap too.... Also, don't buy from a dealer and you won't get screwed

 

[yamasaki]

if you want a dirtbike, get a dirtbike! these things with kickstands and headlights are like riding sea-doo 3d's! they can't do any one thing well! blah!
