I’ve seen a few posts on here asking “What bike should I buy” and these dudes claim they can get brand new Suzuki and Kawasaki 250f’s for $5k OTD or something like that? I’m more of a Suzuki fan than a Kawi, and while I’ve worked in dealerships for both, I know the 17-18 KX 250f isn’t a world beater, but it’s better than the Zook by leaps and bounds. For a guy that rides off-road maybe 50 hrs a year can you go wrong at $5k? People want $7k for used KTM’s. Hell I’ve only spent over $7k on a vehicle a few times, and none of those vehicles were dirt bikes. What do you think?
I have a few nice RM 125’s in the garage, a cherry 04 YZ 250, and an 09 YZ 250f I’m going to turn over to my step son. It’s convinced me that 4 strokes are the real deal.

It’s pretty much do you have a local dealer that treats you right, right? If so, then you should buy from them I think. Custom Powersports Kawasaki / Yamaha Chillicothe is going to get my money when I buy. He tries hard and is trying to build something from the ground up. I respect that. Also, no close Suzuki dealers to me. I just can’t bring myself to sell my sweet RM 125’s.

Hell, i can run pretty close lap times on my 04 KX 125 vs my 2015 KX 450F. Maybe that just means i don't need 450cc power at the SoCal tracks i ride.

In all honesty, most of us could easily get by with something like the RMZ
