[QUOTE="OurMan Flint, post: 156263, member: 24662"] [b]Hello all ye fellow advisers....[/b] Wow.....our poor advisee must be really confused by now !! Either that or we are all having a discussion and he is now ignoring the post ?? Hey TexMex, I think that you made some very fair points. I also think that "Beginner" is being interperated differently by different advisors. Reading between the lines, I assumed from that Malamute is not a complete beginner as he already has off-road toys, explores the woods and has probably ridden other bikes already. Also, I know a number of people who really are beginners and love their KTM200s (as long as the jetting is correct - this is the crutial point on that bike). I do not believe it to be a FAD, more of a ground breaker (like the KDX200 in 1983 and the YZF in 199?). I most certainly do agree that the KDX220 is a better starting point if Malamute is reconsidering his position on Euro/Jap bikes. I have just introduced a friend (he has riden a road bike a little), he has bought a good used KDX220, made it street legal and is getting on very very well with it. He will not be looking for a new bike for agood couple of years. Yes I love the KTM200, but if you are cool about owning a Japanese bike, start with the KDX and take it from there. Definitely get out and enjoy the Autumn though .... it's by far the best time of year for riding !! If funds are a problem buy an pretty old KDX200 (or something) and just go ...... you WILL get your money back in the spring when you sell it. [/QUOTE]
