So after a lot of looking around and lots of reading and watching reviews and way to much thinking I've decided not to get a brand new bike as I kinda need a car as well. So I'm off today to look at a 2002 ktm 520 exc anyone got any words of advice on these

Maybe the gym membership, life insurance and AA cover will all end up making it an expensive choice! Very Happy Very Happy

Can't imagine they're any less of a handful than a 450, but as someone who finds a 250 plenty,  you're probably best ignoring me  Smile

If it's in decent nick, and you like it - sod it, just buy it and enjoy the ups and downs (every bike has got some!) of  your choice  cheers

Have you bought it?
Different kettle of fish on the road than off road but you'll get used to it.
Not much choice if you've already bought it lol!
