wanted ktm 200

anyone no for a genuine 200 for around £1700-£2000 tops? must b blah blah blah think you no what i mean all the usual stuff

Don't do it, hardest bike to ride in my opinion. Don't fall for the 125 weight 250 power bollox, its pumped and rips like a bouncer on steroids with no feel or control. sorry, if that was not what you wanted to hear!! sorry

I owned 1 once, for 3 weeks. it had to go.

Interesting review, I've been keeping an eye out for one too. Maybe not now!

I had a 2014 200 , loved it , but had it alongside a 350 excf , and the 350 got used more . Light and nimble , geat beginners bike , older ones a bit less user friendly i think . I bought mine exactly like Elvis said , i wanted light but pokey . It was plenty of poke for me , but a bit skittish though , and in the end , sort of left me wanting more .

The 250/300 gives more torque and more control, and its all about the control. The average rider doesn't need the amount of power a 300 gives, in fact it could be intimidating and very tiring so ide try a 250 before you buy.
Maybe I should keep my opinion to myself but if you want to try a 250exc your welcome to try mine.

cheers guys! i know where to come for honest opinions next time   asking for a friend and he getting a 250 exc tomorrow
