Hang on let me just go take out a loan and i'll get back to you...

Im joking that is a really good price but i just dont want to spend that much bud, yeh i mentioned it to him ge said the garage bought the bike in 2009, does that mean its the newest model? And what is this barrel mod thibg, any good? What is it for power?

Yeh i know people who strip there engine after every race meet and clean/re-grease/replace parts, a guy at work has a cousin who replaces the piston and rings after every race meet

What happened mate? You have a crash? I spose its the doctors telling you not to ride, but if its not worth the risk its not worth the risk mate

Or isit your heart holding you back?

I had a double heart bypass in the end of August last year, they said my sternum would be fused back together in 3 months. Its been over a year now and it still clicks and crack all the time and aint right. As for the RM they defo stopped making the 125 and 250 2 strokes in 2007, I got one of the last 2007 K7 125,s at the time and sold it when I bought the KTM, I loved it wish I still had it now I used to use this one ride out and my EXC525 the next 125,s are mint you just have to kane them everywhere and they love it......

Im sure the rm 250's stoped being manufactured in 2008, 2008 was the last year im sure

Na i dont want a 125, i want more power not less, 125's dont appeal to me to much hard work for no reason, might aswell step up to a 250 2, but it terms of being fun the 125's are awesome

Nah, 2007 K7 was the last year 100%

scrimsmustang · DTR Mechanic

Nope 2008 was the last 250 and 125 2 stroke your right....... Sorry mate

I know the one I would be going for, they are just so much more quality parts standard than the Jap bikes.

I do love the luxuries that KTM offer!!!

Yeah I agree, they make the RM look like a dinosaur, they aint changed much since 2002 really but the KTM,s get slightly better every year.
