[Jadc]

Hey guys

im looking into buying this bike , because it looks really nice and ive heard its nice to handle , how much do these bikes go for second hand ?

or any other recommendations?

!

cheers guys

Check around on eBay to get a decent guide for price / condition.
Mate at work got one and he seems to like it enough. I'd say roughly 1500?
Can't say i've ever looked to be honest.


Depends what bikes you prefer / want to other recommendations. If it's same style as DRZ then be warned that they will require more and more maintenance.

Yeh i want the DRZ style bike ? so your sayin it need alot of maintenance? what like ? hehe

recommend any other bikes then?

[Fadel]

No no, DRZ's are pretty reliable but lack the performance of other bikes of the same style.

Not really into the bikes so don't really know much but others will be able to help you alot more!

[Jadc]

well if you could guide me to a good bike but with the DRZ style be very much appreciated ! guys

im 70% thinkin of getin another bike but the other 30% is should i get a car , but can i really afford a car lol bikes are alot cheaper.

2001 KTM SX 400 400cc (trade)
Trevor Pope Motorcycles

Black
400 cc
2001
Manual 6 speed, BLACK. Excellent Example for the Year. A good example of KTMS SX 400. Had little use and has had one keeper since new. £1,500


just found that on autotrader i was thinking thats rather cheap ? or isnt it ? i take it this bike is really light just like my honda xr 125?

The KTM SX is a highly tuned competition bike (I think for MX rather than enduro in this case, so very highly tuned.)

It is not a good choice for a do-anything road bike and it probably not road registered.

For road use, I would at least try and get a supermoto one, given the choice. Definitely wouldn't be riding with knobblies on the road out of choice.

As it seems you are choosing purely on looks, look at all the trail bikes out there and find one you like the look of that is a road-based model rather than a tuned competition bike.

it depends on alot of things. theres different models for a start
did u want the drz400sm (supermoto) or the drz400e (more offroad worthy) best thing to do is look for adverts (bike trader, ebay etc).

hehe just found out today that , my right off bike honda xr 125 is worth £1500 roughly he said ....i was like wow hehe , but yeh i want a road legal supermoto bike but ive been looking around ive seen the FMX 650 n etc ! i like looks more than performance , but obviously i want it to go over 60mphs with no problems. :p sorry that im noobish

[G]

Pretty much all the fairly recent 250cc+ bikes will go over 60mph easily (infact the decent 125s will too), so it seems you should just pick the bike you want.

The FMX is a commuter bike and quite heavy, but would be ideal for you if you think it looks nice, it seems .
