[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 1306624, member: 22658"] Uh Jonboy - you mean Yami dealers dont make you pay? hmmm... I need me a bike like that huh! You base that opinion on owning KTMs, or on hearsay? I have owned 4 KTMs. (97 300, 00 300, 05 250 plus my son's 03 200) Parts prices really are not any more than the Jap bikes - and in some cases, less. The rebuild this spring on my youngest son's KDX cost as much as it did on my KTM. PLUS - they do seem to last a long time. My 2000 KTM300 had around 7,000 hard miles on it - 1 bottom end rebuild, 3 top ends (last one was right at that 7000 mile point just before I sold it). My 2005 250EXC now has around 6,000, maybe 7,000 miles on it. did the first bottom end at around 5500 miles - bottom end was within spec still - though at the upper limits, only 2 top end rebuilds, original cylinder still. Try that kind of mileage on your WR Jonboy - add up your repair bills - have a BIG wad of cash, (be afraid, very afraid... 4 strokes aint cheep to rebuild either!), then tell me how expensive parts are! Perk - you made a good decision. when I replace my 05, (it will be a while yet - the kid is heading off to college soon), I am thinking I will look for a used 08 250 or 300 with the E button.
