Message: [QUOTE="RuffTrane, post: 1203615, member: 43842"] My buddy rides a '97 ktm 300exc and I ride a 1990 kdx 200. Every year when we strip the bikes down my buddy has a lot of trouble getting parts for his '97 and the parts seem very expensive in comparison to my kdx. Even with my old 1990 I can usually get the parts I need at a good price from our local dealer (online if unavailable through the dealer). Make sure you have a good dealer close to where you live for emergencies no matter which one you buy. Take a look online at the big ol auction site that starts with an "E" to see if the make and model you want has readily available parts. Also, look into the cost of maintenance/parts/modifications. It really adds up over time and does depend on the make and model you have. p.s. I've ridden both and overall for tough trail riding I liked my modified kdx better. It's bullet proof, fast and reliable! ;) [/QUOTE]
